Heirloom

There are new heirloom upgrades coming in patch 9.1.5, and they are expensive -- 12,500 gold for each upgrade for armor, and 18,000 gold for the weapon upgrade.

Looking for something quick to do in the waning days of Battle for Azeroth?

So I'm still thinking about those Heirloom set bonuses coming in Shadowlands -- or at least the pre-patch for it, when the level squish is slated to happen.

During an inverview with content creator MrGM, Lead Game Designer for World of Warcraft Morgan Day revealed that, with the release of the next expansion, Shadowlands, heirlooms will no longer provide an XP bonus.

I love the leveling experience and getting to figure out what buttons to press to defeat semi-challenging content. But I know that when it's your seventy-bazillionth alt, or perhaps even your seventy-bazillionth Warlock alt, it's not about the journey anymore. Let's just fast forward to the end already.

So we have this really fancy newsletter we were going to launch today, but I realized that I need to put a physical address in the eblast due to anti-spam laws. After thinking about it all of two seconds, I decided against putting my apartment address in the eblast and instead registered for a PO box. Unfortunately this all means the newsletter, which was supposed to launch today, will get delayed until next week.

Personally I blame the princes and princesses who take our money from distant lands.

If you're excited about how heirlooms are going to work in patch 6.1, one question may have remained: just how are the various 90 to 100 heirloom weapons we received for defeating Garrosh Hellscream before Warlords of Draenor going to work with the new system? Well, now we know.
