Thanks, only costs 100k to upgrade plate set? Clowns.
Anyone know what the ilvl will be for these?
From someone that had 36 max levels last expansion, and 19 now, there is no point to even spending the gold on these after the removal of the experience bonus.. The extra rested experience thing is not even worth it.
Unless you're an auction house millionaire or just a completist, I see zero reason someone would invest gold into heirlooms.
The thing about heirlooms is that they were a band-aid fix to the problem of leveling being too slow with you having to slog through several expansions worth of content and the issues with gear that could come from that. Now they've done something comprehensive about that so as a result, the issues heirlooms were made to deal with no longer exist, so as a result heirlooms no longer have any purpose. The only reason why they even exist anymore is because a) people have invested a lot of money into them so just flat-out deleting them would be bad, and b) they might want to bring the xp up back at some point, so might as well just keep them lying around. In the meantime just keep them as this set of items that negates having to worry about gear while leveling, and also allowing you to have a transmog that doesn't constantly have to be re-applied while leveling.People are saying that they're useless. That's because they are. By design right now. The wound that the band-aid was covering has fully healed, but you can't get rid of the band-aid so you just kind of keep it around.
Upgrading some weapons/offhands/shields is a worthwhile investment for alts.IMHO
WTF the stats on these are total garbage if you played BFA......thought I might use these to level my level 50s I haven't played since BFA....nope.Item level 58 vs item level 120.
Made a spreadsheet yesterday and it would take close to a million gold for me to upgrade all my heirlooms to max level. Fun fact: It'll take 4.7 million (3.7 million with 20% faction discount) gold to upgrade all the "basic" heirlooms (meaning the ones you can easily buy with gold) from base to max lvl. It might just be me, but that's way too much gold for something that is basically a mild inconvenience fix (not having to care about gear until max level) at this point.
Now that Timewalking event is on stage... and you know what? Vendors don't have upgrade tokens above level 45 to sell for badges. Thus golds only, so sad.
