PSA: Garrosh Heirlooms in 8.1.5

[Fumbaji-wyrmrest-accord]

I have every single one, with the healing mace as mythic. The only one I’m missing is the 1h strength sword.

I appreciate the heads up though. I’m just concerned they’re going to up the price for bumping them from 110-120 to 20k. It’s already 10k … I can afford it, but damn … I have 102/108 heirlooms.

I don’t see them upping the price after they just pushed the price down due to complaints.

Here’s to hoping.

You have a maximum EXP bonus of 50%, actually, not counting temporary bonuses from holidays, darkmoon faire, etc. (temporary bonuses don’t count towards the maximum bonus)

Heirlooms give you 55% if you have both rings, so even having all heirlooms gives you more than you can benefit from.

Blizzard “claims” that only RAF is limited to 50% max, but I’ve tested it in-game with the gem, and putting a 5% exp gem in my gear did not affect my quest turn ins. I have a friend with the dread pirate ring, and putting all heirlooms on, the second ring doesn’t give any benefit either)

So unless they fixed this in 8.1.5, it’s not worth it.

That said, I’m jealous of those with Garrosh weapons. I missed out because my computer stopped running WoW during that pre-patch. I have the WoD trinkets though.

It states right there at the beginning that the XP bonus from Recruit a Friend is the only bonus experience with a max of 50%. That heavily suggests, outrightwardly so I’d say, that outside of Recruit a Friend, XP bonuses can go past 50%.

Though it would be nice to have confirmation for those unsure. I’m just fairly certain it’s not capped at 50% for everything.

Like I said, I tested it. So it may be unintentional, but right now heirlooms are capped at 50%.

Though it can be pushed higher with temporary buffs like the Darkmoon Faire, unlike Recruit-A-Friend though, which is what they probably meant.

AKA Recruit-A-Friend - Stuck at 50%. Darkmoon Faire, Holiday Buffs, etc. will not let it go past 50%.

Heirlooms - Capped at 50%. Darkmoon Faire, Holiday Buffs, etc. will push it higher than 50% with their temporary buffs.

Haven’t leveled through legion since they nuked weapons. Are BOA weapons considerably better than artifact weapons now?

We’ve no idea though if the Insightful Rubellite counts towards the cap though, since it can’t be used until you get ilvl 200+ gear, and heirlooms don’t go past 110 yet. Considering it’s not a piece of gear and rather a gem, it might allow for passive experience gain past 50% while it’s socketed.

I tweeted Warcraftdevs to see if I could get confirmation on if there’s supposed to be a 50% increase cap on everything - I’ll let everyone here on this thread know if I get a reply.

You can only equip one insightful rubellite. I tried.

Also, you can CRAFT a 225 at level 111.

So, its not really useful.

[Velaisa-wyrmrest-accord]

Would not be surprising.

Not joking. I honestly, truthfully expect them to remove sockets at some point, because; “Lol why not?”

Yeah, wasn’t questioning if you could equip more than one, or suggesting it. You can craft a 225 at 111, but you’re going to eventually get a better piece while leveling - With a Garrosh heirloom upgraded to scale all the way to 120, you won’t have to worry about getting a better piece and using it instead but losing the 5% experience.

@Maizou-proudmoore

You have a maximum EXP bonus of 50%, actually

Not according to this…

So either there’s a visual error or it’s bugged. But the heirlooms have no cap.
