Talk:Heirloom

Technically the "Hierloom" has not replaced the "Artifact" if you are counting GM items. If you are just counting in-game status then it would seem they have, although those GM items are still called Artifact and not Hierloom items correct? Rolandius (talk - contr) 09:19, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Heirlooms do not replace Artifacts

I was under the impression that heirlooms were distributable to any character on your account: Binds to Account. They scale by level making it easier for you to level up your alts. In this regard, heirlooms do not replace Artifacts.

Quality

Technically, Heirlooms do not sound to me like the new "highest quality" item. Aren't they different than any of the other colors? Rolandius (talk - contr) 12:12, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Enchantments?

What happens if you put an enchant on a weapon and then send it to a much lower level alt character? The item level as far as I can tell is 1, so you probably could put some very hefty enchants on these and then send them to level 1 characters, right? Moleculor (talk) 22:11, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Heirlooms always count as level 1 items in all respects. So if the enchant or enhancement has a level pre-req then you wont be able to use it on the haeirloom. Cruentuz (talk) 00:26, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

All of this is now reflected in the article, as well of a short list of enchants to use on your heirlooms. Removed the stub flag since this article is now looking beefy. - Crystufer (After 2 hours of editing article.)

Recruit-a-Friend?

Does the heirloom xp bonus stack with the Recruit-a-Friend triple xp? Achinfish (talk) 00:46, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes. I recently created a account with recruit-a-friend and transferred one of my characters with the shoulders over to it and I can confirm that I get 10% more xp when killing a mob with the shoulders on then my friend gets. Ifandbut (talk) 19:02, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
