Lets Talk Heirlooms( Pt 2)

Community General Discussion

Kind regards Everyone!.

i am Rabies the Magnificent, its an honour.

I’ve made a Lets Talk Topic about Heirlooms before, i think this was last year.

Since Day one of their release, i liked heirlooms. It made the leveling grind a bit easier. And i am perfectly fine with that. I do find that they are a bit too strong sometimes, especially compared to other forms of gear. I am fine with their XP buff being removed since its just not required anymore( Now we just need a proper leveling revamp and we’re good)

HOWEVER. Upgrading heirlooms is a complete mess.
There is a completely different item for gear pieces AND THEIR LEVEL. And this has not changed properly in years.

I am not against the upgrade items. I dont think they should be needed but thats an entirely different topic. They are here.
Can we just get a single upgrade item? Please.

‘Heirloom weapon token’ increase the ilvl of a weapon or offhand by 10. Up to lvl 70
Heirloom Armor token’ Increase Ilvl of a heirloom armor peace by 10 up to lvl 70’
Heirloom Ring and Trinket token’Increase the Ilvl of an Heirloom ring or trinket by 10 upto level 70.

AND DONE.
Three items.

The Current system is way to confusing. YEs if you buy the wrong token you get your investment back, but still.

Its just too damn confusing.

Please BLIZZARD.
Change Heirlooms.
Bring more of them as a reward from content( Upgrade the Legendary weapons to Heirloom quality)
Change the way we upgrade heirlooms, and please make Heirlooms more simple in their use.

There is no reason for this system to be so complicated.

And please, don’t confuse complicated with hard.
Getting the right upgrade is’nt that hard. Its just annoying AF.

The Heirlooms need to be changed, yesterday.

Kind Regards.

Heirlooms just need to go back to the way they were and this upgrade rubbish needs to be removed. The only reason it was introduced was as a gold sink. I pity all new players to the game who hear about them then realize they will have to farm very hard to get even remotely close to upgrading a full set for one of their alts.

Just put them back the way they were. Who cares about the xp buff - today nobody want to level anymore and the quicker its over the better.

This exactly. Unless you’re a hard-core M+ player or someone who’s an expert at selling products at the auction house, it takes an insanely long amount of time and energy to get all the gold you need to max out a single weapon, which is roughly 20k gold per heirloom weapon to get it to max rank.

It was always nice having the XP buff for people who want to level faster.

It was optional.

I hated the change

Its just heirlooms, why do you even care?

Yep, I just spent half my fortune upgrading a load of them. Weapons, armor, you name it.

But then if the upgrades are changed as in the OP, would be best if the prices were lowered. Upgrading to lvl50 and 60 is very costly at 5k for armor and 7.5k for weapons. And I don’t even have rings to begin with - I’d have to up my garrison mostly, or participate in that fishing event and be a lucky sod. (No idea how many contenders there are.)

Either way… for a full upgrade it’s like 13k at least for an armor and easily 20k for weapons.

I don’t believe most of the players are that good at gold farming to upgrade a full set for 8x13k (2 trinks, head, chest, cloak, shoulder, legs, neck) for 104k and a weapon for another 20 (assuming one 2 hander). Most would rather blow 125k on a transmog yak…

The only reason I could afford these upgrades was because I farmed money at the start of DF, as mats sold like hot cake and for a lot. And since I won’t be doing crafting orders for prof items (not even lariat), I could save up nicely :smile:

i don’t even bother using heirlooms they killed it . flat %10 buff for 5piece sat would be better if they wanted to nerf it but the current version is just eww

Heirloom armor and weapons do a Ton of damage compared to regulair armor. Its still worth it

I like it but I’d go a step further and also change the ranks to prevent future bloat (which is what happened now)

in the current expac with max level at 70 the following values will be in play:
base value; 1 to 50
upgrade rank 1; 50 to 60
upgrade rank 2; 60 to 70

If next expac ups all levels to 80 then make it;
base value; 1 to 60
upgrade rank 1: 60 to 70
upgrade rank 2: 70 to 80

*rank 2 range of past expansion becomes rank 1 range of new expansion, rank 1 of past expansion becomes baseline in the new expansion.

So you can enjoy them at a range more beneficial for leveling in current content.
