Hellscream's Razor dagger heirloom can't be upgraded?

[Wirat-dathremar]

So I thought I had fully upgraded the Hellscream’s Razor heirloom dagger as my 65 gnome dual wielding two of them can attest to, but on the heirloom page, it only shows that it’s at upgrade level 1. Creating a new dagger on a level 70 character indeed confirms that it’s only at the first upgrade tier.

Being that this week is timewalking, I took advantage of my timwarped badge reserves and attempted to upgrade the dagger. My weathered heirloom scabbard was consumed but my Hellscream’s Razor is still stuck at the first upgrade level.

Can anyone else confirm if this bug is present for them? And if so, can blizzard take a look at it?

I played remix and I noticed that on the raid appearance vendor the Hellscream’s Razor wasn’t accredited as being learned by me so I rebought it. Maybe that triggered something on my end.

I saw something about this on another post, very recently (within the timeframe of Remix being live)

I found this while searching for it.

Upgrading Hellscream heirlooms

Those items were designed to take players from level 90 to level 100. After the level squish, they were 1-39, then the next upgrade go to 44, then 49 or 50. Interestingly, the Wowhead link shows no change from level 2 to 3. Anyway, these items are designed to be upgraded three times. Look at it this way: since they start at 39, they essentially start with two upgrades.

I am going to keep digging.

Found the comment I was looking for:

@Kurosu-pagle

You can’t upgrade them on a max level toon. It’s weird as heck. I picked up the axe for one of my alts, bought scabbards, but couldn’t use them until I logged over to a level 39 warrior.

Seems it’s the same solution that was offered in 2022.

So, an old unresolved bug with a viable workaround.

Since the upgrade tokens are BoA, you can buy them on one toon (e.g., your main) and mail 'em to a lower level alt (e.g., the alt using the heirloom being upgraded).

I don’t know if any of my sub 70s have enough timewarped badges to do this, but thanks for the information.

Edit: Reread what you wrote, upgrade tokens are BoA so send those to my alt.

Exactly.

If the bug prevents the max-level buying the upgrades from applying the upgrades, you can still mail the upgrades to an alt that wouldn’t be affected by the bug.
