7. Heirloom updates

Leveling still takes a long time though, even with heirlooms.

With 100 levels to go, starting fresh can seem like a very daunting task. Heirlooms are gear pieces that give experience boosts by a flat percentage rate and help you level significantly faster. Previously you could only buy these with justice or honor points. Well justice points are removed from the game and almost all heirlooms can be purchased with gold now. This is such a relief and allows a lot more players to get access to the heirloom pieces.

In order for the heirlooms to scale past level 60 though, you need to buy an upgrade for it. So leveling all the way to 100 can be quite expensive. However, if you have the cash you can simply pay Blizzard $60 and you’ll get a level 90 character instantly. Boosting your toon for $60 dollars would save you probably at least a couple of weeks’ worth of dedicated playing.

One final mention regarding heirlooms is the fact that they are now stored in the game’s UI. You don’t need to keep them in your inventory, and multiple toons can have the same piece equipped at the same time. It is a huge improvement to the previous system. No more mailing heirlooms around!
