Estelle Gendry Sold by Estelle Gendry on the 6.1 PTR in Rogue Quarter in the Undercity for Horde.

Comment by caysyka

Do you need to buy one of these for every copy of the heirloom you want? Or is it applied to the item in the heirloom tab?

Comment by Swampland

For Alliance (in the PTR as of 13 January 2015) sold by Krom Stoutarm in the Library of Hall of Explorers in Ironforge.

Cost is 950 gold at Friendly rep and the NPC is affiliated with Ironforge which indicates it will probably be discounted with rep.

Comment by Aerynsun8449

How is it used? I've tried the usual way installing gems, but it just makes more copies in my bags. I right click on the copy in my bag, it equips the item. left click picks it up, shift right/left click nothing, ctrl left opens the dressing room, ctrl right does nothing, alt left/right does nothing in the bags. same results in the heirloom window with the exception that right and left clicking creates a copy in my bags. Clicking on the Ancient heirloom Scabbard turns my mouse into a glowing hand with a pointing index finger, but does nothing when clicked on the item either in my bag or in the heirloom window.

This token is used to upgrade all heirlooms (apart from weapons) to scale to level 35. It can only be used once as it is consumed when applied to an heirloom in your Collections tab. Note that while it is not included in the tooltip, you can also use it on rings and necklaces!

It is permanently sold by Estelle Gendry (H) and Krom Stoutarm (A) for 500g, by Galra (H) and Liliana Emberfrost (A) for 12 Mark of Honor and by Dame Evniki Kapsalis at the Argent Tournament for 55 Champion's Seals. It is also one of the rewards from a quest chain, which is given at lvl 100 by Drix Bassbolter (H) and Fix "Smallie" Biggswrench (A) at your tier 3 Garrison.

Finally, it can also be obtained during several world events:
- Darkmoon Faire: Sold by Daenrand Dawncrest for 100 Darkmoon Prize Tickets.
- Lunar Festival: Sold by Fariel Starsong in Moonglade for 40 Coin of Ancestry.
- Midsummer Fire Festival: Sold by Midsummer Merchant (H) and Midsummer Supplier (A) for 350 Burning Blossoms.
- Hallow’s End: Sold by Chub (H) and Dorothy (A) for 250 Tricky Treats.
- Timewalking events: Sold by Cupri (TBC), Auzin (WotLK), Kiatke (Cata), Mistweaver Xia (MoP) and Tempra/Kronnus (WoD) - depending on event - for 750 Timewarped Badges.

If you're missing some heirlooms, the two faction vendors sell most of them for gold:
- Chests: 500g
- Shoulders: 500g
- Necklaces: 700g
- Trinkets: 700g
- One-Handed weapons: 650g
- Ranged & Two-Handed weapons: 750g
- Shields & Off-Hands: 500g
- Ancient Heirloom Armor Casing: 500g
- Ancient Heirloom Scabbard: 750g
- Timeworn Heirloom Armor Casing: 1,000g
- Timeworn Heirloom Scabbard: 1,200g
- Weathered Heirloom Armor Casing: 2,000g
- Weathered Heirloom Scabbard: 3,000g
- Battle-Hardened Heirloom Armor Casing: 5,000g
- Battle-Hardened Heirloom Scabbard: 7,500g

Edit: Updated for patch 9.0.1 (SL)

Comment by koda

Any suggestions ? Is it better to buy now heirlooms at guild vendor or it is better to wait patch

Comment by 1185186

Currently on 6.0.3 live servers, guild vendors sell the following:

Cloaks (1-85) - 1,200g
Head (1-85) - 1,500g
Legs (1-85) - 1,750g

All of these pieces will automatically upgrade to 1-90 tokens when 6.1 releases.

On the PTR as of 2/8/15, guild vendor prices are:

Cloaks (1-60) - 500g
Head (1-60) - 500g
Legs - ? For some reason the PTR guild vendor doesn't sell the leg heirlooms.
Armor Casing (upgrade armor heirloom to 1-90) - 1,000g or 100 Darkmoon Prize Tickets

So if you're only interested in getting the 35 heirlooms needed for the achievement to unlock the chauffeur mount, you're definitely better waiting until 6.1 when you can just get the 1-60 heirlooms for 500g each.

If you absolutely want to own everything at 1-90, it appears that helmets are cheaper on 6.0.3 live (1,200g compared to paying 500g + 1,000g for the upgrade). Cloaks are exactly the same price (1,500g = 500g + 1,000g). I couldn't find the leg heirlooms for some reason on PTR, but if they cost the same initial 500g then they would be cheaper on 6.1.

Also worth noting is that instead of paying 1,000g for the token that upgrades a 1-60 armor heirloom to 1-90, you could instead do Darkmoon Faire and pay 100 Darkmoon Prize Tickets instead. If you go that route it's more effort, but definitely cheaper in terms of gold since you only need to pay the initial 500g.

Keep in mind, prices may change when 6.1 goes live.

Comment by Reddervish

Does anyone know if the heirloom upgrades work with the heirlooms from archeology which typically come as fixed equipment level rather than a variable character level sliding scale?

Can I presume (in any case) that the heirlooms from archeology will also go in the heirloom tabs and be 'duplicateable' across all characters in my account?

Reddervish

Edit. Apparently the heirlooms from archeology won't be part of this new system based on what I read in another thread.

Comment by TehOracle

The Ancient Heirloom Armor Casing as well as the Ancient Heirloom Scabbard are available for purchase from a vendor in the Argent Crusade Tournament grounds.
55 Tokens for Ancient Heirloom Armor Casing
65 Takens for Ancient Heirloom Scabbard

Up to 15 Champion's Seals can be obtained in one day from 8 Dailies + Looting The Black Knight

Comment by belzebhu

For those wondering it does NOT count towards the Heirloom Hoarder

Comment by Oxiliary

Although it doesn't say it explicitly, this item is also used for upgrading the heirloom necklaces.

Comment by Farelf

If you have the ancestry coins, you need to go see the Coin of Ancestry Collector, Fariel Starsong in Moonglade

Comment by gtadem

This is also sold by Liliana Emberfrost and Galra for 2,000 .

Comment by Gjillette13

It says that it BOA. I know that heirlooms now go into a tab along with mounts, pets, etc. But when I bought the casing with the express purpose of giving it to my girl on another server, I cannot seem to do that and it has not shown up in the heirloom tab. Anyone know how I can get this to my girl on the other server?

Comment by Scoobydeux

Not obvious from the layout of the Heirlooms tab (but makes sense if you recall how WoW categorizes the items in the Auction House, for example), the two shields and the one offhand item are armor, not weapons, and require this item, not the scabbard.

Comment by Wownomo

The vendor should allow you to trade in a sum of these for a level 100 Timeworn one. I upgraded all my sub-90 heirlooms with Darkmoon Faire Prize Tickets because I had a stockpile of them on multiple toons. Now that I'm making progress on the Mystery Notebook questline I'm starting to amass a collection of these with nothing to use them on.

Comment by 1462210

Do I have to have a level 100 to upgrade my Heirloom to go to level 90?

Comment by Himela

It also upgrades Admiral Taylor's Loyalty Ring which comes from ship mission.

Comment by alterecho

This can be used for the rings too.

Comment by flavioflow

Why, oh why, no vendors to trade Honor points in Ashran grounds? sigh

Comment by UnciaAmethice

Really wish these (all the upgrade tokens) would stack... due to the heirloom upgrade items becoming available earlier from DMF tickets (and many of them being grandfathered in at the 1-90 level), doing the mystery notebook questline on numerous alts will end you up with a cartload of these that just take up ridiculous amounts of bank space for some poor dejected alt until more heirlooms are released.

I know that they're intended to be used asap, but many of us do not have any heirlooms yet to use them on for now, but it'd still be folly to just destroy them since they can become useful (or possible to trade in for something else) in the future...

Comment by Rivail

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)
- Shoulder 500 gold / item (Polished Spaulders of Valor, Champion Herod's Shoulder, Mystical Pauldrons of Elements, Stained Shadowcraft Spaulders, Preened Ironfeather Shoulders, Tattered Dreadmist Mantle, Strengthened Stockade Pauldrons, Pristine Lightforge Spaulders, Prized Beastmaster's Mantle, Aged Pauldrons of The Five Thunders)
- Trinket 700 gold / item (Discerning Eye of the Beast, Swift Hand of Justice, Inherited Insignia of the Alliance, Inherited Mark of Tyranny)
- 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:
- Helmet 500 gold / item (Pristine Lightforge Helm, Burnished Helm of Might, Polished Helm of Valor, Tarnished Raging Berserker's Helm, Mystical Coif of Elements, Stained Shadowcraft Cap, Preened Tribal War Feathers, Tattered Dreadmist Mask) - Needed Guild Achievement: Guild Level 20

- Back 500 gold / item (Worn Stoneskin Gargoyle Cape, Inherited Cape of the Black Baron, Ancient Bloodmoon Cloak, Ripped Sandstorm Cloak) - Needed Guild Achievement: Guild Level 10)

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!

As of a few weeks into patch 9.0.2, there is currently a bug preventing this item from being used to upgrade Defending Champion (obtained through looting the Arena Treasure Chest in the Gurubashi Arena 13 times on the same character).
