People Wanting Heirlooms To Be Buffed.

What do you all think and why?


Are you forgetting the 10% bonus exp?
Are you forgetting that they level with you?
Are you forgetting you'll NEVER have to replace that same piece of gear?
Are you forgetting upgrading them is optional? And all the while you complain when you could be picking herbs making TONS of gold?

I am in no way affected by this, but since they typically mirrored Blue quality items in the past then they probably still should. Maybe not go so far as to compensate for Epic replacement, but maybe scale somewhere better than a minor forged item.

It should not be all that hard for Blizz to math it out to reasonable levels.

[Serissa]

Nah, heirlooms is fine as is. I just want missed pieces aka belt/boots/gloves/bracers FFS!

They are fine now, earlier on PTR the scaling was bugged and they weren't like 700 till level 106.

Now at 101 695 is 100% fine onwards.

At 100 I had some trouble with stuff but that's not the heirlooms fault, at 605 they are WoD-itemized.

Recently got my first shipyard ring mission as I am playing catchup on that (did not play WoD, only this week got shipyard L3), hope it doesn't fail at 91% tomorrow.

Second ring 55% is better then 50% xp, even if it's wrong mainstat on 1 ring.

They do not 100% mirror normal dungeons but it's pretty close still (all within 2-10 itemlevels of Blue quest / Blue Dungeon gear)

IMO all the items should give a XP boost and it equal 100%.

There max level ilvl could be a bit higher but other then that there fine.

You can only equip 1 Shipyard Ring.
Must use Fishing Contest Ring if you want to wear 2 Heirloom Rings.

I know, I won the fishing thing like the second week they re-implemented it for Legion, with the WQ in STV.

It was really simple to get multiple rewards even turning it in 2 hours later somehow, cause I first took like the fishing pole, then regretted it and went back there on another char to get the ring :P

[Nurvus]

On topic, I always thought it was unfair on crafting and dungeon gear to simply have heirlooms equal or beat any and all potential upgrades 99% of the time.
I would accept it even if Blizzard made Heirlooms "quest reward" quality all the way from level 1 to 110.
And I'm an altoholic.

(If this is not within the close happy mods, please, let me know via PM so I can change whatever I need to within this post)

... The Heirlooms actually need some buffing, because since Blizz have pretty much given up on the old world questing, LFG leveling is the clear way to lvl and it is right now going a bit too slow with heirlooms, making you repeat alot of dungeons from early TBC to MoP if you want to stay within the system.

The ways they could upgrade it is by having 1-2 more heirloom items be added, like gloves and boots or by adding 5% exp to every heirloom piece..... It would proberly not solve the problem, but it would be a start to make the 62-90 dungeon leveling experience.

I got a question, it's slightly off-topic.

Equipping a warrior, or any plate wearing class, with cloth heirlooms still makes that warrior gain more experience, right? The armor type doesn't have to be intended for the class, as long as it's equippable the xp bonus is applied?

yes, the armor type should not matter, but you will proberly get kicked from a few dungeon groups if you as a warrior joins with full cloth armor

Nobody wants to see a warrior in a dress

More seriously it's probably better to use the appropriate gear as you level. Leveling is quick enough as it is. The time you save by wearing cloth is likely to be lost by people tossing you out of the group for doing so.

@Laqweeta : this is fine.

Good, sorry for being disrespectful in my OP. I'm not here to make enemies :l I have since edited it, and hope the main topic gets more discussion.

What problems do you think buffed heirlooms would bring?? If we look away from dumb, overtuned ideas (+500% exp or something like that), what could go wrong with a big more exp now that we have 110 lvls to get before late game?

I hate leveling with a passion. The only way I do it is through invasions, where my gear doesn't matter as I'm getting carried in 5 man groups .

[PragmaticGamer]

I wish there was more variety in heirloom gear.

For instance, trinkets that are severely nerfed versions of the Archy ones. Or set bonuses halfway between WoD LFR and Legion class order hall. And add the missing slots.

Add an heirloom fishing pole. And a unique owned heirloom bag. That sort of thing.

No point in having a bonus that "speeds up" leveling and in turn makes you so weak it slows you right back down.

[nekobaka]

I do not think they need to be buffed especially given the other OPs complain over the chance of a piece of gear being slightly better. That chance has happened from the introduction of Heirlooms. The more consistent power level from level to level wins out in the long run without taking the experience boost into account.

[Yamuri]

I don't want them really buffed other than more fluent from expansion to expansion. For example the 100, the ilvl is too low for the transition, and hitting 101 it scales be a bit strong, not super OP. I think they should just be as strong as blue gear for the expansion you can currently play. Other than that, it's fine where it is. I haven't seen many people really complain about the gear not being good enough.

I don't want a buff as much as I want to be able to transmog better looking gear to them rather than waiting for those levels lol.

[Traveler Voltin]

They are supposed to be equal to blues
