So after google’ing this, forum thread checking that and visiting Blizzard Support pages to double check - There still seems to be some holes that is not filled and I was hoping that someone could straighten things up for me in this thread regarding some questions I am about to ask in line with the thread’s title.
A: Currently if I Faction Change to Horde while being Exalted with all the Alliance Factions of BFA (7’th Legion, Order of Embers, Proudmoore Admiralty, Storm’s Wake and The Waveblade Ankoan) - All of these said Factions WILL NOT BE RESET but will simply be CONVERTED OVER? So when I logg inn as a Horde, I will be exalted with the corresponding Factions? (The Honorbound, Voldunai, Zamdalari Empire, Talanji’s Expedition and The Unschackled)
B: Doing a faction change does null out your War Campaign progress: But say - If this character is the ONLY character I currently am “Up to speed” with on the War Campaign; Will I LOSE the “Benefits” I had for completing the War Campaign on the Alliance side? Say - I know that you only need to do the War Campaign up to the most recent part on ONE Character to “Unlock” Heritage eligibility account wide (Example: When up to speed with the War Campaign on this Character; A 120 Dwarf I had that was exalted with Ironforge could go and get his Heritage armor without having even done the entire War Campaign) - So if I now go Horde (AFTER completing the most recent Campaign to Rescue Baine) Will that make so that if I now hit 120 on a Gnome which is Exlated with Gnomeregan; I won’t be able to get his Heritage armor since; My only character that HAD done the Alliance War Campaign up to the most recent point went Horde? Or will the Alliance War Campaign to “that point” still be “checked” on the Alliance side so I can still hit 120 with a Gnome and get that Armor despite my only char that had rescued Baine has re-rolled Horde?
C: Regarding Heritage Armor: This is my ONLY 120 LF Draenei. If I go Horde with this one; Will I “Lose” my LF Draenei Heritage Armor as the “Only” eligible character I “had” to unlock it is now suddenly no longer eligible for that armor due to having gone Horde? - Or in a similar case; If I faction change my only 120 Dwarf that I got the Dwarven Heritage armor on; Will that cause for me to lose said Dwarven Heritage Armor as well? Or will the Heritage armor forever be saved once obtained?
That’s pretty much all I was wondering about; Thanks in advance for any and all answers.
The last time i faction changed i lost all my reputation, it didnt transfer. That was in MoP however so i dont know if that got changed. It was the same with questlines that i did, i had to do that over again.
The heritage armor once unlocked should be like any armor transmog set. You will keep it after having earned it. However you only can wear it on that specific race, so if you change your race you obviously can’t wear the lightforged armor set. Race changing to another race wont give you the new race its hertage armor either you got to level it from scratch
Heritage armor and the allied race unlock bother are bound to the achievements that belong to it. Deleting or race changing won’t remove the achievement
Alrighty - Thanks for clearing that last part up. Was super worried that I would lose my Heritage Armors if I faction changed the ONLY character I had that both unlocked and COULD use them.
A. Yes. It should transfer. 7th Legion becomes Honorbound, stuff like that. Also, any armor/weapon you’ve unlocked for transmog that is specifically 7th Legion armor/weapon is available as Honorbound armor/weapon. That’s unrelated to the transfer though, just many people don’t know they unlock it for both sides when they add it to the collection on one side or the other.
B. This one I’m actually unsure of.
C. As OMB said. The heritage armor is tied to the achievement, not the character that unlocked it.
That being said, you’ll only ever be able to use the heritage armor for the class it was created of course. So you’ll need a new LF Draenei if you want to see that armor ever again.
Regarding the question B, and if I understand your question well, the rewards that you gained from the War Campaign checkpoints are not lost. I had a similar situation recently on my own characters, where I reached the War Campaign checkpoint with Baine on my main character, and then I was able to obtain the Heritage armor on my Tauren character.
Just to clarify that does not mean that with a different Alliance character you can carry on from where you were left off. A different character has to have their own path in the War Campaign.
