Question abot upgrading Heirlooms

Community General Discussion
1

they cost like 7500g to buy the 120 upgrade, does it stick to the weapon/armour for all characters on your account? like if my mage adds it to their armour now will the other characters i make in the future have that upgrade to when i choose the armour/weapon from the heirloom list or does it only stay with the character that bought it?

Shift+P To Heirloom page and they are all account wide.

Heirloom purchases and upgrades are applicable across your account. They haven’t said how they’re going to handle heirlooms come Shadowlands though so it might be worth holding off on.

Yes. Heirlooms are account-wide. I do agree, the upgrades are ungodly expensive.

I agree they are expensive, this is the argument I have with pro path people who say Path is cheaper I’m like dude what are you talking about you still pay like 10k per pers for flying. Its just another way for Blizz to force you to buy tokens since current gold making mechanics are fail at best. Just look at the wonderful changes they made to Ah where it costs like 10gold to auction off something that sells for 30 gold.

thank you all for the quick replies, missing 15k gold to fully upgrade my armour :frowning: lol.

There are other options to get the upgrades. If memory serves you can buy them with Darkmoon Fair prizes as well as Timewalking Badges. So if gold is an issue and you have a plethora of either … check the costs of those.

I’d use Azerite gear in those slots head, shoulders, chest and fill the rest out with looms and quest gear.

When you finally have all your looms upgraded you can swap them out to turn in quests and put the Az stuff back on for ease of questing as the looms scale so badly in BFA so it’s quicker using the azerite gear.

Hope I haven’t confused you more. :laughing:

Yeah good luck with that, you’ll be waiting awhile especially if you are looking at multiple weapons. For those who consider gold: One heirloom weapon costs like 650g then another 1k for upgrade to 90 then another 2k to upgrade to 100 then 5k to 110 and then 7.5 k to 120 thats 16150 gold for ONE weapon. Blizz greed is truly a sight to behold. I expect it to be another 10k to upgrade to the next expansion on EACH one of your weapon heirs.

Yes. I paid for all of mine on Alliance side, for example, and the leather set was used by druid, rogue, and monk all the way up. On the Horde side, I used the same set for rogue and monk. So…yes. Once upgraded, always upgraded, for ANY toon on your account–any faction, any race, any server.

Do keep in mind there are a few faction specific items. I think they’re restricted to Trinkets and maybe a few cloaks (don’t quote me on the slots, but I know it includes a few trinkets).

So you’ll have to make sure you’re upgrading the correct item. Otherwise, they’re available to both factions. I did it for armor on Alliance side and the Horde side was able to ‘create’ them.

You didn’t have to you inbox send it to your horde char the equiv item and it auto changes. Don’t quote me on this though as I know it works for “some” items.

Add wrist, boots, belt and glove.
Set heirloom full :grimacing::ok_hand:

Only for that piece you upgrade. As in, if you upgrade all your clothie heirloom, only clothie will use them. (Well you could use them on a plate wearer but why would you…)

Personally, I’ve decided to hold off upgrading to the 120 looms until they tell us how they’ll work with the levelling changes in SL. And yes, as others have doubtless told you, all your upgrades are account bound.
