Blizzard should also increase the ilvl of heirlooms at level 100 and up though. Item Level 605 for a Level 100 heirloom is rather terrible considering a boosted level 100 character has item level 640 gear baseline. At least increase the heirlooms a bit so that it is worth equipping at level 100 in comparison with baseline gear.

You currently have the option to buy this item for 5000 Gold at the vendor in Undercity.

Comment by glassleo

This scales the heirlooms up to a maximum of item level 160 at level 110 (was item level 800 before the squish):

Level 100 - item level 136
Level 101 - item level 141
Level 102 - item level 143
Level 103 - item level 145
Level 104 - item level 147
Level 105 - item level 149
Level 106 - item level 152
Level 107 - item level 154
Level 108 - item level 156
Level 109 - item level 158
Level 110 - item level 160

Edit: updated item levels for patch 8.0

For anyone considering how much gold they'll need to upgrade all your applicable heirlooms (non-weapon, shield, off-hand), based on the heirloom guide here, I figure you're looking at spending about 300,000 gold.

I notice it doesn't mention weapons, and I suppose that makes sense, given the focus on artifact weapons this expansion. I wonder when/if Blizzard will add the appropriate tokens to also raise those, though? I'm guessing end of expansion, or beginning of next...

Upgrading all heirloom items will be so expensive! Time to farm more gold.

Did these go live today?

You don't need gold to upgrade looms if you got enough alts.

Likely this will be buyable from Event currency vendors like all the other Loom upgrades.

If you got enough like say 5 just do 1 TW dungeon when its out per alt, get the quest item turn in for the 500badges on each toon, they will all gradually save up to a point each one can buy a token.

Edit: Price is 1,000 TW badges for a 110 armor upgrade, 1,250 for a weapon upgrade

Other option is to Build up Darkmoon Fair Tickets on all your alts using the quest items.
I think a price could be near a range of 125-150 tickets so this is about 2 months worth of Darkmoon fair quest items or 1 month with daily's.

Though I do expect a quest to help everyone get a freebie like in WoD, got enough alts grind out this quest get a few free upgrades. Edit: sadly no quest, maybe a later patch.

You can buy these for 1000 timeless tokens from timewalking vendors when the events are on going.

You want to know, how much gold needed for an alt?

First of all, you will need minimum 3900 gold to get the starter heirloom set which will gives you a boost till reach level 60 (+you will need a guild too, to get some of them which are listed below):

#Sold by: Vendor (Shay Pressler (A) / Goram (H)):
- Chest 500 gold / item (Champion's Deathdealer Breastplate, Mystical Vest of Elements, Polished Breastplate of Valor, Preened Ironfeather Breastplate, Stained Shadowcraft Tunic, Tattered Dreadmist Robe, Burnished Breastplate of Might, Pristine Lightforge Breastplate)

- Neck 700 gold / item (Eternal Talisman of Evasion, Eternal Amulet of the Redeemed, Eternal Horizon Choker, Eternal Woven Ivy Necklace, Eternal Emberfury Talisman, Eternal Will of the Martyr)

#Sold by: Guild Vendor:

So, If you want to start, your alt character with +xp boost, you will need minimum: 3900 gold - Without weapon
If you want to do it with a weapon: you need + 750 gold (for Mage, Ret Pally, Warrior, Death Knight, Druid - Feral/Guardian), Priest, Hunter - Total: 4650 gold With weapon

After reaching level 60, you will need additional 1000 gold for Ancient Heirloom Armor Casing. This item is needed to upgrade your armor to 90, but please note: all of the items, waht you want to upgrade need one of this item, so to upgrade your full sett to 90 from 60, you will need: 7000 gold for the armor upgrade!
For the weapon upgrade to 90 from 60, you will need an additional 1200 gold for Ancient Heirloom Scabbard. This item is use only by: Two-Hand, Ranged Weapons and Staffs.

You want to continue your jurney with heirlooms? You will need a new type of the upgrade items!
This upgrade items works like the 60-90 ones, but this will boost your gear up to 100!
Timeworn Heirloom Armor Casing - 2000 gold / item upgrade
Timeworn Heirloom Scabbard - 5000 gold / weapon upgrade

Do you have a lot of golds, and you are a bit lazy too? Than UPGRADE TO 110! This new option, camed with the 7.2.5 patch.
This upgrade items works like the 60-90 and 90-100 but this will boost your gear up to 110!
Please not: After reaching level 101 (if you have Legion expansion), you will get your Artifact weapon, and you dont need to upgrade your weapon for 110!
Weathered Heirloom Armor Casing - 5000 gold / item upgrade
Weathered Heirloom Scabbard - 7500 gold / weapon upgrade <--- NOT RECOMMENDED!

I don't understand why you can buy the level 90 but not the level 110 heirloom upgrade for Mark of Honor
Maybe just an oversight but I hope they add it in the future.

Comment by Dravgis

Ok people below have gone crazy with the guides for completionists; most heirloom aren't worth leveling to the 101-110 range since all LEGION quests scale with your level, so any rare reward will meet or beat the bonuses found on these heirlooms.

Sticking to the INCOMPARABLE +X% to quest and kills experience (which will get you through levels and into endgame content including world quests soonest) here's all you really need:

Helmet: +10%
Shoulders: +10%
Chest: +10%
Pants: +10%

Cape: +5%
Ring: +5%

You need 4 items per armor class (cloth, leather, mail, plate) for a total of 20k gold.
The cape and ring are specific to stat build (str, agi, int), not armor class so 10k spent here will benefit more or less character classes than armor classes depending on your alt choices.
Dread Pirate ring benefits all classes equally (stam + crit + haste) so as a pure leveling item it is best in slot.

Covering +exp for all potential classes and stat builds = 80k armor, 15k capes, 5k-15k rings for a total of 100 - 110k gold.

Cost reduced to 2000g in Patch 8.1.5, down from 5000g.

Comment by AlexL1118

Took me some time to understand why my alt can't buy these upgrade items, even having enough Timewarped Badge-s.
It seems that if the item upgrades a heirloom up to lvl X, then you can buy that upgrade item only by a character whose level is X+1 or higher, regardless of how many Timewarped Badge-s you have.
For example, since Ancient Heirloom Armor Casing performs upgrade to level 90, only your character of level 91 or higher can buy it.

Comment by MoarHeroisms

Unless you really really REALLY need to level an alt ASAP, I'd delay buying upgrades until potential changes to the heirloom system for Shadowlands are confirmed. The removal of heirloom XP buffs, the level squish and the dramatically reduced time required to reach level 50 may spell the end of this gold sink.

Comment by StarTattoo

Can you even get 450 Tricky Treats? I did everything and only got 300. Do they stay after Hallow's end?
