Blue post confirmed this:

"One thing I can tell you is that chest piece heirlooms will be available in the next content patch. They will provide a 10% experience bonus that stacks with the shoulder bonus." - Zarhym

Comment by 72207

I believe these new heirloom items will be bought from the argent tournement.

Comment by Garon132

One of the 6 new Bind on Account chest pieces being added in patch 3.2.0

The 10% exp from these all (supposedly) stack with the BoA shoulders. A blue did post this in the forums, but hey, we're talking about Blizzard. You can't trust everything they say.

The others are as of follows
---
Cloth
Tattered Dreadmist Robe

Leather
Preened Ironfeather Breastplate

Mail
Champion's Deathdealer Breastplate
Mystical Vest of Elements

Plate
Polished Breastplate of Valor

I personally hope they add a feral druid / hunter staff / polearm & a couple of shields for both tanks and healers, which I am sure they will but as I post this comment its only been no more than.. 1 week? since PTR release.

For you incoming down-raters, mind that I posted this during the PTR.

- They added Weapons!Finkle's Lava Dredger

Repurposed Lava Dredger <-- That's a heirloom version of Finkle's Lava Dredger :D Awesome for you feral druids that were expecting something out of this!

Venerable Mass of McGowan <-- Awesome for you shamans :P

This is a pretty nice item for hunters and feral druids, especially in the first levels before stat bonuses show up much.

I hope it doesn't cost too much. Any info on whether it will be bought with emblems of Champion's Seals?

Comment by Delaxart

At the moment they are being sold by the new Heirloom-vendor for 40 Emblems of Heroism and some odd gold(Gold cost is most likely in place by mistake) @ PTR. Nothing is finalized tho, all chests still have 0 armor regardless of level.

Comment by Rhut

Would be nice if they had pvp-tuned heirloom chests too. They've got pvp-tuned heirlooms for every other slot, why not?

Comment by evankimori

Here's a decent calculator if you wish to see the stats of an heirloom at a specific level. No idea if WoWhead's added this function in so I linked from another site via Wowwiki.

EDIT: So why's my comment being downrated now?

Comment by Jurre

Where and for how much is this item for sale?

Comment by Redsatyr

The item show 176 armor... why do you say 0 armor?

Comment by SuperDino

woud it be safe to assume, like the cloth chest, this is a refrence to, and looks the same as, the regular shadowcraft tunic?

Comment by 322002

According to this, this chest will not be sold for 60 Emblems of Heroism, as someone already posted, but rather 60 Champion's Seals, which seems to me like a huge jack-up of the price.

The pets from which you obtain from 40 Champion's Seals go for (at least in my server) at least 1000g, and that's just for the same faction pets. If I wanted to buy a Horde pet, I'd have to be prepared to spend over twice that much.

I was actually quite excited to buy this chest piece for my Rogue alt, but it seems that now that's a bit out of reach. Hopefully they change it later down the road because the price that it has now doesn't reflect the actual quality of the item for me.

Currently the best enchants for Heirloom chest-pieces are:

Enchant Chest - Greater Stats (40 HP, 65 Mana. Works at all levels)

Enchant Chest - Major Health (Does not give its benefit until level 30 according to the comments)

Enchant Chest - Major Mana (May or may not give its benefit before level 30, need to test)

Comment by Vath

just want to point out that will take 12days to get, which is NOT worth for 10% extra..!

So im almost 100% sure that this will cost less, and similary with the others heirlooms cost = same mark/emblems and nothing like champion's seals

*Sings*
"On the 12th day of dailies, my true love gave to me, a bind on account heirloooom"

12 days of dailies to be able to level an alt even faster, especially with the shoulders? Yes please. Of couse it's worth it. I'm most disturbed by your post that 12 days of dailies seems like too much. People grind dailies for considerably more time for other things less useful.

Comment by mech6982

It's not just 12 days. See my reply here.

According to WoWWiki, you must first become an Argent Crusader by earning the achievement Exalted Argent Champion of the Alliance or Exalted Argent Champion of the Horde before you will be permitted to purchase items from this NPC.

That means you'll be spending about a month's worth of time doing dailies before you can purchase the Heirloom Chest armor, or any other item she has for sale.

This is subject to change, as the patch is still in testing, but don't be surprised if this holds true when the patch goes live.

Comment by 363468

Blue Post states:

Assuming you are eligible for all of the new dailies being added to the Argent Tournament -- meaning you have championed all primary factions and reached exalted with them as well as with the Argent Crusade and Silver Covenant/Sunreavers -- and plan on doing Trial of the Champion, the 5-player Crusaders' Coliseum dungeon on Heroic mode, the maximum number of Champion's Seals you can obtain in a single day will be 15 after patch 3.2 hits, not including any lucky Champion's Seal drops in the Champion's Purse.

Here is a breakdown of the costs of some of the Argent Tournament rewards in 3.2:

Argent Crusader's Tabard: 50 seals
Argent Pony Bridle (for your squire): 150 seals
Bind-on-Account chest pieces: 60 seals
Bind-on-Account weapons: 60-95 seals
Bind-on-Account trinkets: 75 seals
Argent Warhorse/Argent Charger (epic ground mounts): 100 seals
Quel'dorei Steed/Sunreaver Hawkstrider (epic ground mounts): 100 seals
Silver Covenant Hippogryph/Sunreaver Dragonhawk (epic flying mounts): 150 seals
Shimmering Wyrmling (pet): 40 seals

Source

So by my math it would take 4 days to get a chestpiece for your alt.

Comment by 433200

The Chestpieces are buyable in Dalaran, off a new vendor standing next to the other Emblem Vendors. He is titled with a "Heirloom Vendor" subtitle.

Off of him, the Chest Pieces are 45 Emblems of Heroism, and the new weapons are the same price as the old ones.

You can verify this by logging on the PTR and checking if you don't believe me.

Comment by 335505

just want to point out what elmdor751 said

Ps. 12 days is a long time.. you can practical make a lvl 80 in that time without having + 20% in exp.

Comment by monopoman

Once you can do the valiant and/or the champion dailies the grind is SOOOO easy. The quests take about 30-45 minutes to do all together and you get massive gold and rep besides the champ seals.

Anyways you can get champ seals post patch most likely by running Coliseum anyways so its not like you HAVE to do the dailies.

It's not 12 days /played. It's 12 days of doing dailies for half an hour, which a lot of us do just for the money. You can't level to 80 in 6 hours. Besides, they've added dailies which provide even more seals.

Comment by Linty

This can be bought with badges in dalaran or from Dame Evniki Kapsalis for 60 champion seals. Though you have to be a Crus ader to purchase from her.

Comment by 1Beachcomber

Comment by 207458

What's the best enchant that can be put on a BoA chest? +4 stats?

Comment by Azulinde

Here's a list of all enchants that can be applied to a heirloom chest armour. Note that the character level requirement for the +100 hp enchant was revoked with 3.2

Comment by Random0679

You can also put the lich king leatherworking armor kits on these chest pieces. I put the Heavy Borean Armor Kit on mine just last night.

Comment by 18933

are these stats for real? They are pretty awful

To the comment below - I can see what you mean but the stats were awful below max level. After looking at it in game i can see that no, the stats aren't correct. So answered my own question

Comment by kleppy57

Comment by 122037

Heirloom items aren't meant for endgame raiding pvping or anything... its just something to give to your lowbie so you don't have to worry about X slot .. on my warrior im making i have

Shoulders Chest weapon weapon trinket trinket...

Now i dont EVER need to replace these till 80... seems like a good deal to me now i can vendor all that stuff not to mention the 20% xp from mobs AND QUESTS

Comment by Grunge

Can anyone recommend a good shirt/tabard combo to go with these? Im thinking the Warsong tabard would look good but im not sure about a shirt.

Comment by Chaosinfused

based off of Shadowcraft Tunic.

Comment by 212003

To all those guys with level 60 PvE twinks:

This item is NOT identical to the regular Shadowcraft Tunic at level 58!

Comparing...

Choose what you like best :)
