One of the old Justice Point heirlooms, which are being reintroduced with 6.1. It is currently sold by Estelle Gendry (H) and Krom Stoutarm (A) for 750g.

Both vendors sell all of the old Justice Point and heirlooms, including the new necklaces and upgrading tokens:
- Chests: 500g
- Shoulders: 500g
- Necklaces: 700g
- Trinkets: 700g
- One-Handed weapons: 650g
- Ranged & Two-Handed weapons: 750g

Edit: The heirloom prices are no longer affected by faction reputation!
Edit 2: Added the 2 additional upgrading tokens to the vendor list.

This will be one of the new "Bind on / To Account" items, Usable by anyone from level 1 to 80 (The Stats change, ~~hence why it doesn't show any~~.)

Edit: This is buyable for 100 badges from Heroics and 10-mans in Dalaran.

Old school warlocks will be overjoyed to see this one, just check what it is a tribute for.

Comment by Avitar

A pity it lacks the AI buff.

Comment by snugglebear

"Apparently blizzard felt this item should only be included in the game as a joke. The staff has a 1-500 chance in dropping, but it's the only epic staff geared for warlocks.

That could drive a warlock MAD!

I wanted the staff. I wanted it bad. I farmed for it over 3 months. I ran Scholomance over 200 times. 5 times a day for 3 months. And this is before the recent nerf to Scholomance when an average run took over 3 hours."

Comment by scatman

is spell power the same as spell damage?

Comment by czokalapik

For dps classes 343 spell power will be equal to old "343 Spell damage and Healing"

"This stat will appear with the same values found on items which grant “increased spell damage and healing” such as on typical Mage and Warlock itemization."

But for healers will it be "644 healing and 216 spell damage"? If not and it will be 644 healing and 343 spell dmg all items will be boosted pretty much (~137% of old power)

"For classes which do not heal, they should see no change in the character sheet other than new tooltip wording."

But how does WoW define dps/healing classes? Shaman is healer, but in Ele he will be dps. So your comment (and this blue post you quoted) doesn't include healers.
How does new stat behave with healers? Because i honestly don't believe that all old "healer items" would be boosted so much...

I Think WoW checks you class and build, and if you are a healer (in holy/resto) you have lower bonus to spell dmg, ang higher to healing, and if you are pure dps - you'll have exact value from tooltip of item applied as spell dmg.

Well, i'll digg up some more about this.

Comment by iKolja

Where does this drop?

Comment by Naimad

It's quote from World or Roguecraft episode 3 movie.
I suggest you to watch all three episodes. It's really great, even it's pre-TBC.

Comment by evankimori

No free Intellect aura on 'Use' effect like its predecessor I see.

Oh well, would've been considered OP with levelling characters anyway I'd imagine. That plus finding a way to scale a 'Use' effect was probably rather difficult, if not impossible.

Comment by 1Beachcomber

L19:

46-69 Damage, Speed 2.90
20.0 Damage per second
+9 Stamina
+7 Intellect
Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 6.
Equip: Increases spell power by 15.

Thank you for spell power update, now fixed.

Comment by malystryx

If you're curious as to how this item scales down with your character's level (for purposes of twinking or general curiosity), you can use the LINK button at the top of this item page to link the item in-game: the WoW client will automatically scale the item stats down to your character's level for you. This works with all the other Heirloom items as well.

Steps in case you are unfamiliar with how to use Wowhead item links:

Click the link button above, there will be a popup window with some automatically highlighted text.
Copy the text (Windows: Ctrl-C, Mac: Cmd-C) and close the popup window.
Open (or switch to) WoW and press Enter to open up your chat dialog.
Paste the code into the box (Windows: Ctrl-V, Mac: Cmd-V) and press Enter.
A message in white text will appear in your chat log followed by an item link.
You can click this link to view the details and can Ctrl-click it to view it on your character.

Thanks goes to mynameiscoffey for creating the helpful "how to" steps, original comment found here.

Comment by Crillivamp

Does anyone know if you can enchant it? and if what level of enchants can it have?

Comment by Jimbolimbo

At the moment, this staff, from levels to 1 and 57 does NOT scale with spellpower, probably some weird bug, the stamina, intellect and crit you get from it, scale, but the spellpower from 1 to lvl 57, reamin from 1 to 9, then when you hit 58... BAM, staff magically gets 46 spellpower. The shoulders scale correctly. I have not tested the ones you get for stone keepers shard, but this staff, spellpower wise, sucked for leveling :P

Comment by Deasha

This is a must have for you leveling addicts.
It's good for Mage, Priest and Warlock.

Comment by Taree

Currently using this on a 39 hunter twink with 25 agi on it

14 stam
17 int
11 crit
9 spell power (lol)
25 agi (enchant)

Not all that bad could probably get more out of using the 1h with 15 agi on them but this gives a high amount of stam and int which also converts to 17 ap through http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=34484

Comment by comstuff234

is it possible to level up my warlock with this staff, then at 80 ship it to my lvl 1 mage and start over again with the staff? The toons are on the same account

Comment by Absoluut

You should add +30 Spellpower enchant, because that's the only enchant i could find that works on the heirlooms.

But goodluck on finding someone who does the enchanting recipe is from Molten Core pre-BC.
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=22749 <-- Enchant.

40SP on my level 12 priest ftw?

Comment by Windreaver

Since heirlooms will always count as level 1 items, does this mean that weapon oils and sharpening stones will continue to work on them past 70? If so, would it then still be useful pre-Ulda raiding at 80 until something drops from Naxx?

Comment by byoonie

Isn't this item pretty good for Elemental Shamans as well? The heirloom mace would probably be better for Resto but I already have a healer alt so I'm not planning to go Resto with my Shaman. Besides, with this staff, you make at least 3 leveling alts happy :)

Comment by karlusdavius

BoA heirloom items do not have durability, therefor do not need repairing.

Comment by hotsw4p

enchanted this with http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=13529 as i was leveling, and it does not take the glow effect. More than likely the default "glow" of the green orbs rotating around it overrides any glow effect from any enchant.

Comment by vietnight

you can enchant +20 spirit on this staff
and there will no glow on it since it have the unholy glow look already

Comment by arspartan

The item is bought for 65 Emblem of Heroism from Dalaran.

Comment by 309blank

don´t be as confused as i was. the spellpower scales HORRIBLY up to lvl 58, which is where it increases almost sixfold from 8 to 46. the crit rating and stam and int are very high throughout lvling, but unfortunately the spellpower doesn't really increase at all.

this stave is still pretty much perfect for lvling a mage, a moonkin, a warlock or a priest. i´m even considering using it for my hunter as well, because the crit and the int and stam are not useless at all!

Comment by Johndeere

Confirmed 30+ spellpower (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=22749)
Just got it for my alt!

Comment by Fightback

Currently does not work with Minor Wizard Oil on my lvl 11 Mage.

Comment by Kolmar

All of the heirloom items scale with the content as well as your character, i.e., the reason the caster pieces receive large boosts in spellpower at 58 and 68 is because that corresponds to the character's becoming BC and WotLK eligible. The physical gear scales similarly, with the 2-handers in particular becoming amazingly powerful at 58.

Comment by Aluminum

For a 19 twink hunter, this is actually very good.

You can only enchant it with 25 agility, but the total stats are considerable.

Even when compared to rare BoE 1handers or BoA sword/dagger combinations with 2x15 agility enchants, the high crit rating really shines. Intellect and stam are always useful as well.

Anyways, the spellpower budget on this is almost negligible until it starts using TBC item budget formulas so don't dismiss this as a "caster item" for twinks.

Comment by Speckels

I don't think you should be concerned to much about the spell power. Most likely if you went far as to get 65 emblems for this you will put 30 Spell Power on it. So it should be able to last you hopefully untill 80 not sure. Point is yes you could get more spell power by buying BoE or grinding for other staffs that put alot into it then enchanting that. But you would waste alot of gold when you went to upgrade that one and put another enchant on the next. I do not believe it is wise to dump all your stats into spell power while leveling because having a decent sized mana pool is helpfull! Depends what you want I suppose... big hits or the ability to cast longer without going oom. Personally I could care less about hitting hard if I was forced to spend alot of time drinking mana back because my mana pool wasn't big enough to make evoc effective on my mage or didn't have alot of spirit on my priest for spirit tap to be effective. For a warlock thats affl I guess you could do fine with going crazy on spell power.
My big 2 cents...

Comment by sharpyx1

Overall, I am glad I got this item even though it scales poorly to other staffs around its level but knowing that you can always have on it without worrying about replacing it makes up for this.

Comment by Iroared

It has a big jump in stats when you hit 58/68.
At 67 it gave 109 spellpower, at 68 it gives 220.

Comment by Krantos

well makes for a nice Feral Druid staff lolol i put 25 agil on it and im rocking
wish i had some Feral AP on it thos :(

Klawe, Chromaggus

Comment by saregos

I don't think this was really created with twinks in mind. The heirloom items seem to be meant for improving your levelling ability... and at that, this staff succeeds admirably. Stick either Enchant Weapon: Spell Power or Enchant Weapon: Healing Power (the latter, for me at least, was considerably easier to get, especially with the relative rarity of Golden Pearls) on it and go nuts.

Comment by julienpdx

All pre-bc chants are eligible to be put on these items. Overall though, you aren't missing much (5-10 SP less than a BC or Wrath Enchant) etc; and since the amount of SP is always fairly close if not more than the best blue item in the bracket, its still worth it.

Comment by karlusdavius

3.1 patch notes state that all heirloom items that grant spellpower will be substantially increased for all levels below 58.

Heirloom Items: The bonus spell power granted by these items has been redesigned to provide substantially more benefit for players lower than level 58.

Source

Comment by Dayr

Feral AP will appear on this staff at level 58.

Comment by komobi

the 30 spell power enchant on this weapon at lvlv 2 only inreases spell dmg by about 2-4

Comment by Meugly

I tried to put a spellpower enchant on it around level 35. No go. GM said you can't do it. I have not been able to apply Wizard Oil either. Maybe after the level 58 barrier where the spellpower goes up to a reasonable level, not sure.

Overall, this thing has been useless. Sitting in my bags since about level 20. There has always been a quest reward, a dungeon drop or a BOE that has been immensely better so far.

The trinkets on the other hand... WOO HA! A pair of those and you are off to the races!

Comment by Beace

The ilvl of this item is 1 regardless of your character's level, and this is what the enchants are based on. Meaning you can only use enchants were no lvl requirement is stated in the description.

This is the case for all heirloom items.

Comment by Keile

Apparently in 3.1 they fixed this item.

At level 36 on my druid it now has 29 spell power.

Definantly is scaling more appropriately, awkwardly enough my damage didn't change, so I'm wondering if it was always giving the proper spell power, but wasn't SHOWING the proper spell power.

Comment by DonB1337

What Enchants works on this staff is it only 30spellpower?.because 69 and 50 dont work.
What About 40 spellpower?.

Comment by 309blank

they changed the scaling of the spellpower now.

this staff now gives a lot more spellpower at lower lvls.

Comment by Draknalor

I have this staff on My warlock and it is awsome. At level 38 it got 30 Sp and it is enchantable (i got 30+ SP enchant on mine)
I really love the looks on it =)

Comment by Zalador

Closest thing to a feral Druid's Heirloom weapon

Comment by ziddy1232

Actually, this isnt AS rare as it once was. Since 3.1.0 this is Bind on Use not Pickup and the drop chance has also been greatly increased, according to the 3.1.0 Patch Notes.

Greatly increased the drop rate of recipes found in pre-Lich King dungeons and raids.

Comment by bubbathefrog

is this at all good for elemental shamans since there is no heirloom shield?

Comment by KonjikiKun

In early levels (1-10), the swing damage of this staff is quite powerful. I have it on my warlock and it hits about x3 the damage of a shadow bolt.

Think again before you downrate please. I've tested this myself.

Comment by krille007

btw, since you can turn in BoA items after up to 2 hours after purchasing, tog et your badges back, you can actually buy this item on your main, send it to your alt, lvl with it, and send it back to your man to get your emblems back.

i have tried this, bought with my pala, send to druid to enchant, but ended up doing obsidian sactuary, not using this ofc, better geared.

but when i send the item back after about 1 and a half hours, i noticed that i still had 1 hours and 56 minutes laft to get my emblems back for it.

its also good when you need an item to complete a group quest or do a heroic or raid and then just turn the item back in to get your emblems back for other gear ou might need in an emergency

Comment by Ufuk

can we transfor to other realms?

Comment by jospandia

i have a lvl 44 druid and im not sure if i want to get him the Dignified Headmaster's Charge ot the
Grand Staff of Jordan wich one should i get?

Comment by stevebat

is there a reason why this has no stats on wowhead besides sp?

Comment by tayozxx

can you get it for me

Comment by Amrod314

The entire list of spellcaster heirloom's are as follows:

Dignified Headmaster's Charge - 65 Emblem of Heroism or 95 Champion's Seal
Tattered Dreadmist Mantle - 40 Emblem of Heroism or Champion's Seal
Tattered Dreadmist Robe - 40 Emblem of Heroism or 60 Champion's Seal
Discerning Eye of the Beast - 50 Emblem of Heroism or 75 Champion's Seal

As you'll probably want 2 Discerning Eye of the Beast it will make the total cost:
245 Emblem of Heroism or 365 Champion's Seal

Happy farming :).

Comment by Daiemio

Does anyone know att (exactly) what levels the stats change for heirloom items? Would be epic if someone could fish up those stats.

Comment by triton456

As soon as I got my full armor on my rogue I'm going to get this one for my lvl 19 twink warlock, really is the best twink staff u could get. ^^

Comment by Aizhia

If you play about with the slider bar, you'll notice that there are significant steps up in the stats provided at 58 and 68 to aid your transition into Outlands or Northrend.

Comment by deusduce2

I farmed for a few days in MC to get my rep with Thorium BroHood up to revered and picked up the +22 intellect to weapon . . . slapped that on my staff and man . . . I can honestly say that having around 1600 mana (unbuffed with no other enchants) on a lvl 20 druid is both a massive benifit and a curse :D the amount of water I need to consume is rediculous IF I actually go oom . . . none the less, well worth it. Hit me up if you want the enchant (really cheap, mats are easy) on Boulderfist. Ryeen, Kaylis, Eisensturm, Lovedump are my mains.

Comment by fizzbang

You should actually add the +22 int to 2H weapon enchant: http://cata.wowhead.com/spell=23804.

Pre-Cata, you will gain a much higher benefit from INT than you will SP. (more mana, more spell crit)

Once Cata hits, it is unclear (so far) how well the pure spell power enchants will convert to INT, and for how much. Needless to say, +22 INT will still provide you with mana and spell crit, and additionally, INT will convert directly to SP.

The trick, is finding someone who is Revered with Thorium Brotherhood to do the enchant.

Comment by Mbowling

It does not compare right its set at level 80, i need to compare level 56 staffs and stuff to it

Comment by Lodrigues

What is better for healers? Dignified Headmaster's Charge or Devout Aurastone Hammer with offhand?

Comment by NetBlaise

I'm a lvl 14 Warlock and just started pvping. This is my first charactor. I want to no how to get these items. Manly the staff above. I have about 40 Honor Points. Where do i go to buy these items for honor points? I saw a lvl 14 warlock with this staff and a few other 1-80 items. Please help your boy out.

Comment by Xerubi

I Have this Staff on my mage and i Love it very much.You can make it Much much better to add +30 Spellpower i do really love the staff :P

Comment by tasuki

Why on earth has the cost of heirlooms skyrocketed in patch 4.0.1? They used to cost a large number of Emblems of Heroism which took a while to amass any excess of other badges to convert. Now with only a month or so to go before Cata release when people have little to do other than level alts, they suddenly cost at least 4x more than before!

The justification given is that at 85 we will miraculously be earning so many points that level 80 items become supercheap. Except I fail to see what possible justification or relevance this has to a level 80 trying to purchase level 80 items who does not own the Cataclysm expansion and furthermore Cataclysm is still many weeks away from release!

Its even more unfair to those who had been stockpiling badges to use for heirlooms and were just short of them before purchase.

Comment by kahjokaapio

Wow at lvl 37 this gives me 14 intellect and 72 spell power!
Thats more than some lvl 60 epics and tbc staves have like: Crystalfire Staff The Staff of Twin Worlds Staff of Dominance and Shadow Wing Focus Staff

I wonder will the heilroom caster weapons get a nerf soon...

Comment by Mihir

For some reason this staff is getting a +spellpower bonus at all levels, while any other <58 item only has int.

Comment by Katti2

So this is then a good healer staff ... 'couse i'm thinking of getting the Grand Staff of Jordan to the mage.

Comment by Morvannor

Transmogrifying this costed me a whopping 1 gold piece, but at least for now it looks like a scythe on my tiny 'noam warlock.

Comment by Suuon

Hands down the +22 int enchant is the best one for this staff, nothing even comes close. Static +22 int at level 1.

Currently, even though the vendor stats show +sta and +int, once equipped you only get a+int, +76 int, spellpower increases to 789, and critical strike remains the same.

Comment by Worgslarg

The MoP page for this item says at level 20, it will have 3x the amount of intellect it does now....

Comment by FlayOnDarkIron

Somethings a little wonky here, the scaling shown here on the Mists page for this weapon seem waaay high. Currently wowhead is displaying the staff having as more stats at level 58 in Mists than the staff currently has at 80 on live. Call me crazy but I don't think a heirloom should be equivalent to a ilvl 200 blue at level 58. Lets compare:

Staff of Sinister Claws
vs
DHC@58
+99 Stam
+81 Int
66 crit
418 spellpower

In short, clearly superior due to the 81 int vs the 51 spirit.

If this is indeed how its going to be this completely hoses new players and players without heirlooms. There are still almost no weapons with spellpower prior to level 60, and this just exacerbates the problem further for new players. As it stands on live, the difference between a full heirloom caster and one with no heirlooms is like night and day. With this change to scaling the difference is going to be more like a hobo living under a bridge compared to Bill Gates. But I digress. More on topic, I find it odd that the neither the Devout Aurastone Hammer or the The Blessed Hammer of Grace are showing a similar increase in power. In fact, they are both losing stats in Mists.. I'm guessing, and really hoping, that this is just some sort of scaling error that will be fixed eventually.

For posterity's sake this are the stats of the weapon as displayed by wowhead @80

431-647 (186 dps)
+282 Stam
+231 Int
+188 crit (4.1% crit at 80!)
1189 spellpower (what the good god?)

Just to put that into perspective, those stats make it significantly better than the Archus, Greatstaff of Antonidas off of 25m heroic LK..
Basically, this weapon is no longer equivalent to a blue, its now leagues better than a BiS epic/legendary at every level. At 70, you would have to nearly triple wield the Golden Staff of the Sin'dorei or Grand Magister's Staff of Torrents to be comparable. At 60, it would take two Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian to compare.

edit: 5.0.4 just went live and the staff still has the correct 394 spellpower at level 80

Comment by Kanariya

At Level 60, this is quite the powerful staff. It's better than any staff from Molten Core and Blackwing Lair, and only slightly better than Staff of the Ruins. The only obtainable staff that beats it, and just barely is the Blessed Qiraji Acolyte Staff. This makes the staff equal to an ilvl 76 Epic at 60.

Comment by RotaryP7

I'm thinking of starting an alt Mage. Is it worth the 3500 JP? PvP Frost Mage.

Comment by Mookosh

As of 5.2, the Level 80 Heirloom weapons and armor can be upgraded to scale up to level 85

Cost is the original item and either Darkmoon Faire Prize Tickets, JP (for heirlooms purchasable with JP) or Honor (for PvP itemized heirlooms purchased with honor)

1-H Weapons: 2175 Honor/JP or 110 Darkmoon Faire Tickets
2-H Weapons: 3500 Honor/JP or 130 Darkmoon Faire tickets
Armor: 2175 Honor/JP or 110 Darkmoon Faire tickets
Trinkets: 2725 Honor/JP or 130 Darkmoon Faire Tickets

Comment by ifjkl

Reduced upgrade costs for heirloom items with patch 5.3:

This item will then upgrade for 1400 instead of 3500 JusticePoints. You will save 2100 JP !
So, don't buy now, wait till patch 5.3 hits live servers!

Comment by Maddhawk

As of 5.4 you can now use all weapon enchants. At lower levels enchants scale down for the content a player will be going through so high level enchants will not be broken for pve and pvp content alike. You can find a compendium of all enchants and their scaling here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?pli=1&key=0AnBPvCvqWJ3udENtVlVmcjA4Q3ZQWmZKWHE3c201UXc&f=true&noheader=true&gid=17

Comment by illepic

Do note: As of 9/11/08 these items are mailable between characters on your account (even after equipping!) only. You cannot mail these to other characters not associated with your account.

Comment by azuretwilight

The wowhead stats and description are wrong.

On the beta realms, and almost 100% likely on live, these will be used as well as the other items like it, to level your character through the badges from raids/heroics.

The items bind to account so you can use them on one char and transfer them to another. It is not yet known how enchants will affect it.

Not only are they reuseable and bind on account, they also scale with level. they have a unique rating "Requires level 1-80 (your level)" which means if you give these to a level 1, and they go from 1-60, the gear will scale while they do. when they reach 2, the gear stats etc. go up, when they reach 30, the gear stats etc will go up.

Do not expect these to replace 60+ blues/greens, as they are far far worse than level 80 greens at level 80.

They also will likely not replace twink items due to how they scale.

Comment by killerpet

As stated above, "This is buyable for 100 badges from Heroics and 10-mans in Dalaran." they are the new "Badge-sink" for people who either have bought all the gear from the vendor they want, enjoy leveling alts or are just plain stupid (as these are very weak compared to lvl 80 epics)

Comment by Lektra

Spell power is the new in WotLK and replaces all +healing and +damage and healing stats on items. It is a simple 1:1 ratio for both + damage and healing

Comment by razzem

How do you get this again? With current level 70 Badges of Justice? Or with the level 80 ones?

Also, are these enchantable? I have 2 casters, and it sure would be nice to do a hand-me-down once one of them has leveled.

Comment by Ochaleon

What I said in my post wasn't necissiarily wrong, in any way. Level 80 badges.

It can be enchanted, but Not with any Item level required enchants; it looks.

Comment by czokalapik

Yes, spell power replaces both +spell dmg and +healing, but it's not actual value.
From (for example) 300 spell power you'll have ~563 (~187,5%) +healing, and 188 (~63%) spell dmg.

That means this item will provide ~216 spell dmg and ~644 healing.

Comment by theSimio

This is also not true. As Spell damage has barely changed the more did healing. As spell power grants the same amount of spell damage and healing, healing spells got their percentage gained from bonus healing changed to match the new (lower) amount of bonus healing granted by items. Notice there is still items that only grant bonus healing or spell damage which will show up if you take a closer look to your spell power values

Comment by Sonofabeech

It doesn't.

If you want a faster and easier way to get this, I recommend getting in touch with the U.S. company Yeh! for Games, Inc., you can give them a call at 702-425-8654 or just google them for their website. They’re based in Nevada State so it’s very safe and reliable, unlike all the other sketchy websites that are from foreign countries. My friend got them to level his character to level 80 and was one of the first 80s on his server. I’m planning to get the new PvP gear and Emblem of Heroism they offer.

Does anyone know what this Item's stats are at lvl 19?

Comment by nelmadge

This staff is a MUST for all banker alts, I am so getting one for my lvl 1 gnome mage :D

Comment by shamanlover

I just saw a lvl 43 horde with a staff looking like this and decided to check his armory profile just to check the weapon. I found that it's stats was looking rather overpowered tho it did say:
"Requires level 1 to 80 (43)"

this is the armory profile i saw it on:
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dragonmaw&n=Cait

Is this because of some major bug or is armory just showing lvl 80 stats?

Comment by Neirith

http://quickarmory.com/heirloom.php is a nice calculator for every level and every Heirloom item

Quote of the site though:

Any MP5 ratings might be slightly off. Well, actually, anything might be.

And its only slightly

Comment by OccasusTuralyon

ah, saw this drop in scholo on one of my first runs :)

guess what, i think a druid got it.

Comment by timps

I thought this was a bug when I got this for my lvl 30 balance druid, I get 4 SP, 9 crit rating, which is close to nothing.
I thought it would scale the same all the way to 80, this seems to be wrong, so DONT buy this if you think the same. Because it doesnt obviously...

Comment by bluephantom

I just bought this for my level 8 druid, but when I view this item on her, it doesn't show any AP stat. Is this some sort of bug? Do I have to have the various forms before those stats show up? Is it granting the AP bonus and just not showing it? Or did ferals just get jipped on a leveling weapon?

Comment by Azerox

You can exchange these back for emblems with a GM within 2 weeks of purchase.

This because some people (like me) buy before they realy think and i ended up with
a plate item while i actualy later wanted to make a mage (for the lolz).

Comment by Fone

no FAP on weapons with less then 55 DPS. So once it breaks 55 dps you should see FAP showing up. EDIT: This comment is redundant, deleting it.

Comment by Lucifa42

They get 'jipped' as you say.

You'll see Feral Attack Power appear at 58 but not before then.
So really, your only choice is one of the 2 heirloom daggers.

They should change the 2h axe to mace then every class that can use a 2h can get an heirloom.

Comment by Rodimusprime

Not sure why this got downrated, it seems like a valid question to me. I also just got this for my druid alt with the current changes to feral weapons, I thought that attack power was displayed on the weapons now for druids, however this weapon does not show any listed for me either.

Comment by doomhed

I just tested this, and I can in fact use the oil obtained from the quest in terrokar forest on it. the one from olemba seeds. I am going to make some other oils and test tomorrow

Comment by Adman4

You can use this calculator to see how the item scales: Heirloom Item Scale

Comment by AbsolutGrndZer0

Note that as of the current patch they fixed how the spellpower scales, it's much more consistent throughout all levels now.

Comment by jospandia

or** lol.......... hi

Comment by cribby

Found this on another Heirloom thread. use this script ingame for stats per level. Handy!
/script for i=1,80 do DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Level "..i..": \124cffe5cc80\124Hitem:48683:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:"..i.."\124h\124h\124r"); end

Comment by Amrod314

Really nice staff to have whilst leveling. It requires 65 Emblem of Heroism or 95 Champion's Seal whilst the chest and shoulders cost 40 each. So you're looking at 145 for the complete "set".

The entire list of spellcaster heirlooms are as follows:

Dignified Headmaster's Charge - 65 Emblem of Heroism or 95 Champion's Seal
Tattered Dreadmist Mantle - 40 Emblem of Heroism or 60 Champion's Seal
Tattered Dreadmist Robe - 40 Emblem of Heroism or 60 Champion's Seal
Discerning Eye of the Beast - 50 Emblem of Heroism or 75 Champion's Seal

As you'll probably want 2 Discerning Eye of the Beast it make the total cost:
245 Emblem of Heroism or 365 Champion's Seal

Get farming :).

Been reported to be a 13% drop rate off of Hogger.

Comment by Coriam

55 ~~mph~~dps, eh? Make sure your flux capacitor is calibrated correctly or you'll end up playing before the game came out.

Comment by PersonalProxy

Quoted from Badaccus:

i have this for my priest, and just recently started a shaman, so i sent all three pieces, shoulder, robe, and this staff.

Melee'ing for 80-90 with ease, crit's up towards 120-130, and this my friends, were at lvl 5-10.
why cast spells? i just had to swing at them ONCE and they died.

The comment is so full of fail I don't know where to start.

They do now... :(

Comment by museerouge

Stop downranking people who ask legitimate questions.

Comment by SunderedShadow

I am figuring they changed it just because they did not want everyone grabbing the Chest & Shoulders especially let alone all the other gear for their alts that they plan to build last minute so they can speed through the new content. I was mildly annoyed myself but don't forget you can still get them out of the Tournament at normal prices if I saw right.

Comment by ceasure

New heirloom for the upcoming patch 5.2 it will replace Dignified Headmaster's Charge for 3500 Justice Points.

Edit: Why downrate true info? was already here before wowhead got the information doesn't mean that it's wrong.

Comment by Ebyssius

This is the upgraded version of Dignified Headmaster's Charge.
Upgrading to the level 85 version will cost one Dignified Headmaster's Charge and an additional 3500 JP.

Comment by NescioNetizen

Warning : you will lose the enchant(if any) after upgrading.

Comment by Deepfriar

This can also be obtained at the Darkmoon Faire. In addition to trading in the Dignified Headmaster's Charge, you'll need 160 prize tickets.

Comment by Pinkphoenix

The new Bind to Account staff, the Scholarly Headmaster's Charge, replaces the previous Dignified Headmaster's Charge. You will need 3500 Justice Points and the Dignified Headmaster's Charge in your bags. Please note, however, that the updated version does not increase any stats for the levels of 1-80, but instead the new staff continues scaling past level 80 to level 85.

You will, of course, need to enchant the new staff since the previous staff has been destroyed in the purchasing process.

I know some people feel that Bind to Account weapons are unnecessary in the leveling grind, since they do not offer an experience bonuses; but you have to remember that, when you are able to kill the creatures swiftly, you will go through the majority of quests and dungeons at an increased rate, which directly transfers to a quicker leveling process! The fact that this particular weapon scales through 80-85 will allow you to get through the Cataclysm zones without much hassle or need to search for a new weapon until level 86!

Comment by McGrignr

The one problem with upgrading this from 1-80 to 1-85 is that, unlike the power boosts gained at previous tiers, the boost from WotLK to Cata doesn't take effect until level 81.

From 50 to 57, the spellpower gains gradually, at most 3 per level. Then at 58 you get the TBC boost and it jumps ahead 30 spellpower.

From 58 to 67, the spellpower gains gradually again, between 3-6 per level. Then at 68 you get the WotLK boost and it jumps ahead 76 spellpower.

68 to 80, another gradual gain, gaps of 9-15 each level. If this item were to be consistent with the behavior of the previous expansion boosts, at level 78 the Catacylsm boost would take effect. It doesn't. "Well, the thing is that Outland and Northrend let you start at 2 levels below the previous cap, while Hyjal and Vash'jr don't give you any quests until level 80." In that case, you'd expect this upgraded item to give the Cataclysm power boost at level 80 as you head off to those zones, right? Actually, no. Level 79 to 80 is still only a +15 spellpower increase. Level 80 to 81, on the other hand, is +533.

For this weapon, the upgrade price is only going to get you a useful weapon for between levels 81-82. From 77 to 80, buying Cataclysm greens off the AH will give you a more powerful weapon by far, and starting at level 83, you can buy MoP greens that sprint ahead of even the upgraded heirloom staff. Hey, if you have enough gold and the AH is stocked, you can even buy one of the MoP-dropped 409-ilvl BoE blues that only require level 80 and that'll be more powerful than any of those.

Comment by Anihilate

Upgrade this BEFORE Enchanting!
Otherwise you will lose your expensive heirloom enchant on your Lvl 1-80 weapon :-(

Comment by Glandur

You are now able to enchant this weapon with Jade Spirit. At level 1, the Jade Spirit proc will give you 62 int.

Comment by Snagrat

Just a word of warning, i tried to enchant this with an illusion today (mongoose) from my follower in the Enchanting study, but it didn't work, It does not change the appearance of the loom at all.

Comment by TrutusBalnazzar

I understand why they don't want heirlooms to be that strong, given that there is (and still will be) a massive gap between new players and alt characters, but why does this staff on PTR now have 50 less intellect than a green quest reward?
Might not even use it any more lol.

Comment by rothrolan

Comes with the Unholy weapon enchantment appearance. Though available for transmog, you can't use other weapon enchantment appearances on it. However, the staff also shares the appearance of Shadow-Walker Staff, which can modify it's enchantment appearance.
