- Chests: 500g
- Shoulders: 500g
- Necklaces: 700g
- Trinkets: 700g
- One-Handed weapons: 650g

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

The exp bonus from the chest does stack with the exp bonus from the shoulders:

"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 Ariadra

This is a polished verson of http://www.wowhead.com/?item=16730

Maybe not too hard to guess, but I thought I should mention it.
The look will probably match the heirloom plate shoulders, Valor:http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42949

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
Stained Shadowcraft Tunic

Mail
Champion's Deathdealer Breastplate
Mystical Vest of Elements
---

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

Does anyone know how much they will cost?

Can anyone link bluepost about heirlooms?

What is the best enchant to put on this?

Comment by wtfbasegone

costs 60 champion seal's according to world of raids

Comment by Darkapostle

Blizzard actually wants to encourage players to level up their characters, NOT twink them...
49% of all the players that play right now have a twink.
Blizzard wants those twinks to go level 80, as they get at least 1 ticket every day saying:
"Oh my god! Warsong gultch has hackers! They have 1.400HP!"
Since those started, Blizzard wanted to cut off twinks...
THIS is a way to.

This is so wrong. If Blizzard was trying to get rid of twinking altogether, do you really think they'd add the ability to pay 10g to halt experience gains altogether? If they were trying to stop twinking they'd just be better off not adding that and like the other thing they're adding, allow experience gains withing bg's. This means that they're in fact supporting twinking and at the same time they're trying to allow people a much more different approach to grinding.

Comment by senathor

Anyone know if Heirloom shield is going to come?

Comment by Twinkzrus

They should add set bonuses. They have two sets of "Valor" gear right now that as for warriors in pre bc in the future when they come out with more there should be set bonuses.

Comment by Xycolian

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)~~ Now works properly.

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

Comment by eyetotem

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

Comment by Prolix

Sold by Dame Evniki Kapsalis in the tent where you get the old champion dailies (Chillmaw, etc.) if you want to buy it with Champion's Seals; must be an Exalted Argent Champion of the Horde/Alliance.

Comment by valorum

Looks like the heirloom vendor in Dalaran sells it for 40 EoH as well.

Comment by Horrick

Do u need to have the Crusader title to buy this with EoH? I cant see it (or any of the BoA chests) on the EoH vendor in Dala and I dont have Crusader yet.

Comment by Dbagjones

Just uploaded a screenshot of a buddy's pally wearing it at 72.

Here's the stats currently: 1753 Armor, +58 Strength, +58 Stamina & increases Critical Strike by 51.

Comment by ShadowSco

So by "Stack" do they mean it is multiplicitive or additive?

Base Exp x (1 * 1.1 * 1.1)
or
Base Exp x (1 + .1 + .1) ?

To me stacks means multiplicative... has anyone tested this?

Comment by Scerkus

I apologize for asking a stupid question.

Comment by Gorthrax

I got the body and shoulders on my warrior then the next day my brother got our account hacked then it got banned...

Comment by UpStream

I understand what did he ment. There are lot of retards rating comments.
He actually wanted to tell, than not everyone have a level 80 character which can do heroics and buy those heirlooms.
Imho, im going little angry from that it stacks with shoulders... in a while they will make head heirlooms items and in a month, we could get +80% EXP and really, almost instant lvl 80. I'm not jealous i have not 80 character, but there is much more people who dont have 80 too, so its not balanced, while we not heirloomers got 9000EXP from quest you get 10800EXP, and thats imo very visible difference.

Some people out there got more than one char and sometimes doing all those quests over and over again is a pain in the ass.

Again, its pain in the ass, but you think that for us - who haven't 80 chars - its easy to level?

Also downrating this means, you AGAIN didn't understood what am i talking about.

Comment by JGSY

My main is a mage, but can't seem to be able to buy these for a new plate wearer that I want to roll. Is that a bug or it's just unfair that plate wearers can buy heirloom cloth pieces but clothies can't buy heirlom plate pieces? I guess the same goes for the weapons as well.

Comment by 3Davideo

Humph, anything for Holy paladins? *grumble*

Comment by shodaime

This item along will all other heirlooms does not take durability.

---
Item level does not improve with level also so it does not count towards the Superior achievement at level 80.

Comment by Skulli

Do you think that these items work past 80 as well for leveling in Cataclysm?

Comment by naxxcr

This item made me realize just how long it takes to downgrade 40 Triumph all the way to Heroism.....never again, when I buy a heirloom weapon, I'm using Stone Keeper Shards....

Edit: Yeah, I found out that I could use shift click shortly after posting this...

Comment by F4c2a

IT'S GREAT THAT YOU CAN'T BUY THIS ^&*! WITH PVP STONEKEEPERS SHARDS - GOD FORBID SOMEONE PVP'S IN THIS GAME.

*grumble mumble fist-gnaw*

Comment by xvxslave

This may seem like a strange question, but since the heirloom chest and shoulders both give extra exp, and at the lvl cap exp is changed into gold, will completing quests with an heirloom chest and/or shoulders equipped increase the amount of money you receive?

Edit: I finally had a chance to test this out, no, you do not receive extra gold from quests at 80 if you are wearing heirloom gear.

Comment by zaraki1

can i send this to my 55 hunter and it will change to mail or do i need to go throught the horrible process of continous process of heroics to get the hunter stuff

Comment by EnanoMaldito

kind of a noob question but meh... can we send these items to a character on the same realm but another faction? I know you can't send regular mail but I was not sure if you could somehow send heirlooms.

thx in advance

Comment by Hadarace

Can a level 40 shaman use this after they train mail?

Comment by koiril

All the heirloom items are at least 2000 justice points and not the 300 that is listed here

Comment by joshmcopeland

Okay quick question here,

It says that the XP on these BOA items "stack," correct?

So if I equip
Chest Piece
Head
Shoulders
Leggings
Also if you are in a guild that is over lvl 10, you get 15% XP on all quests and monsters

So all this equiped I should be gaining 55% XP on all quests and monsters killed, correct?
Or did blizz do something to avoid someone working their ass of for an accomplishment like this?

Comment by banchee2003

I've noticed that the shoulders and chest do not add XP gains after 80. I equipped my plate chest and shoulders and the XP for the quests in the quest log did not change (after reloading the UI). I then equipped the cape I bought from the guild rewards, then reloaded the UI, and 5% XP was added.

So, just to let everyone know (and maybe double check it) the XP bonuses don't count, so you're hurting yourself if you're leveling past 80 with old gear.

Comment by erkbin

What is the best chest for tanking?

Comment by Tarrax

I was wondering, if you enchant these items can you still trade them with other characters or does the enchantment bind the item to the character permanently thereby ceasing any further character trading? Many thanks in advance!

Comment by Hardnine

New as at 4.1 Burnished Breastplate of Might

Comment by Ishtenari

BOA Gear:
I have talked to a GM and found out the following from them...

Can not be transferred to ther Servers even though it is Binds to Battle.net Account
You can transfer it between the opposing, as long as it is the same Server
If you have multiple WOW accounts you can transfer them to another one of you Characters as long as it is the same Server

I wish since it was BOA you could move you BOA gear to another Server, the only was to do so is to have it on your Character and transfer them ($25.00 US) to the Server that you desire to have them on.

Comment by firstduyh

About Paladin. Does strength + Stamina better or Agility + Stamina better. Because this Plate gave strength instead of Agility.

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 Konza

What is the current state of these item experience boosting items? Is it still worth using them?

Comment by thermor

only 39 armor on a plate level 80 chestpiece? something is wrong here

BTW, any1 knows what it is going to cost?

Comment by KonjikiKun

A reference to Breastplate of Valor.

Comment by Kotori

That's the stats on the piece at level 1.

Comment by AnrDaemon

Poor stats for level 80 gear piece, just a bit above the level of a green items.
I wonder how much they are scaled down for lower levels.
I.e. Heavy Lamellar Chestpiece of the Boar that i have in my posession right now, has +16/+16 of same stats, without added crit bonus, of course. And that's before enchant (for item level 55, there's wide enchanting options available).
If you scale stats on this heirloom straight, they would be +15/+15 for level 50 character. And added crit bonus not really justifying the situation. Plus you can't put any really useful enchant on this piece, making it even less attractive to bother.

Spiderfang Carapace and Hydralick Armor is just a few examples of blue, pretty common items that plain better for certain specs.
Heirloom weapon bonuced much more reliably...

EDIT:
I strictly consider the "Armor: 39" line a mistype or kind of side-effect.

Comment by Cydrone

And keep in mind this is still on the PTR. Discussion isn't really valid until this hits live.
Judging from what they've done with the other pieces, I'd expect very respectable stats compared to other comparable items.

Comment by Larch

10% exp.... from completing quests...amazing.

Comment by lillbob

10% exp and whit shoulders that be 20% awsome !

Comment by thermor

Well, unscaled is not entirely true, i don't think this gives you 24 strength and stam at level 1...

BTW I do have 2 heirloom items on my alt, so I know how the system works

Comment by SerbanM

20% extra xp... Leveling from 1 to 60 just got reduced to 3 days...
Just add one more xp% increasing piece of gear, and we might as well see where they are trying to get:

- WoW official servers. Instant lvl 80. -

Comment by Duessa327

All the new Heirloom chest pieces are selling for 40 Emblems of Heroism on the PTR (Build 10048).

Comment by stathisdjs

Thermor, if you DO have Heirlooms, and they got that stats, you hack...Heirloom scale with the level.

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.

Comment by WTHackx

If it's Melee, maybe a Crusader enchant would be for you, it's what I did with my Reaver :D

Comment by Cromulon

The heirloom chests will cost 40 Emblems of Heroism, same as the shoulders.

Trust me :)

Comment by Cromulon

Bind-on-Account chest pieces: 60 champion's seals
Bind-on-Account weapons: 60-95 champion's seals
Bind-on-Account trinkets: 75 champion's seal

In 3.2 the maximum number of Champion's Seals you can earn per day will be 15, not including the drops from the purses.

Comment by senathor

I think Blizzard should have made this Hairloom chest with maybe all stats +2 at level 19 or make the stamina higher because this chest is good but it's not really owning all other rare chests. But because of the 10% extra experience gained it seems like Hairloom items were mostly made for leveling players. For exampel the Hairloom chest is better but still Blackened Defias Armor(11 stamina, 4 strength and 3 agaility) is almoste the same good.

Comment by evgueni72

This is slightly pointless to buy until your alt hits 40 cause all mail wearers at the start of the game (Pallys, Warriors) Can only use Plate at Lvl. 40

Comment by Raewi

So it gives 24 strength and 24 stamina at level 1? :)
The man's got a point.

Comment by Derreklock

What I don't get is why this guy gets uprated and Mutre ( above ) gets downrated when they said the same thing.

Comment by veroshi

i just wanna point out the fact that considering what they show us to be the level 80 version of the item, either it needs to be reuploaded and fixed, or the stats on it are very horrible and don't deserve to be worn except for power leveling

Comment by Finnias

The reason one was uprated and the other downrated is very likely because the downrated one posted the exact same information, but nearly almost a month after the first person. About as useful as saying *Bump*

Comment by Titansteelsword

Don't forget Lesser Absorption. I feel this is better than 100 hp. If it goes off 4 times in a fight (which I have seen before) you have gotten just as much out of it. At lower levels(1-5 for example), mobs hit you for 1 damage, and this will absorb multiple hits. Might not be your first choice, but definitely should not be overlooked.

Edit: I would also like to point out that the +hp and +mana chest enchants do not stack with buffs such as Blessing of Kings.

Comment by Ghash

What do you mean by this? Of course the enchant stacks with Kings. Kings has nothing whatsoever to do with health or mana directly.

Comment by fourthsheep

There's a better option to Enchant Chest - Greater Stats which I prefer putting on an heirloom item: Enchant Chest - Exceptional Stats.

Comment by Orow

I just bought this with a druid, a character that can only wear cloth & leather. The fact that it's red in the vendor window doesn't mean you can't buy it,.. it's just an indication that you cannot wear it yourself.

Comment by knightneca

hi i wont this one:Polished Breastplate of Valor

Comment by SCARYWIZARD

I remember seeing on the official Cataclysm forums that they'd cap upon reaching 80.

Comment by Zeewon

Um i know this is previous patch but still, do your research dumbass .... Shoulder and Chest stack and they will always do, till blizzard changes it -.-'

Comment by Zeebs

You're calling someone a dumbass for providing correct information. Good job.

Comment by m4rk3d

If you shift-click the emblems at the vendor you can choose how many to convert down. Saves a lot of time :)

Comment by agent8261

To speed things up you can right click, and input the amount you wish to convert.

You can also go to this guy.

Comment by h07r0d

You can buy them in bulk, just Shift click the badge you're buying and enter the number you want. It's the same as buying reagents.

Comment by Felet

You can shift-click all stackable items to purchase more then one, the same goes for trading Frost to Triumph, Triumph to Conquest, Conquest to Valor and Valor to Heroism.

Comment by abramov

It doesn't really take too long if you just shift-click the lower tier emblem and buy 40 (or however many you want) at once.

Comment by Bitolas

Next time shift + left mouse click and type 40.

Comment by ludibrium1

Shift+Click then click the arrow 40 times, then next emblem down. If you're buying them each individually then...well that may take a while

Comment by Foetsjie

Shift + Click on it, select how many you wan't to buy / convert and done. It's 40x faster.

Comment by Motig

Use shift+left mouse button to exchange 40 in 1 click.

This youtube video, is soooo funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bzQ6vzNgAI

Comment by Mornay

i think he was making a point that there are 79 whole levels before level 80 and blizzard are increasingly ignoring those levels. Sure, most people like to play at 80 but some of us enjoy levelling. I hate farming instances so I'd love a piece of gear that gives me 20% more emblems but obviously that wont happen.

The game is fast becoming a max level farm fest, but because all of the sheep seem to enjoy farming the same content over and over again I can pretty much guarantee i'll be voted down by the fanboys. Shame really, all those zones with so much work gone into them just get all but ignored now.

Comment by cakiftw

Is it possible to somehow send heirloom items to your alt on other server?

Comment by erkbin

Is best for tanking?

Comment by Aliok

The cap is exactly at level 80, not through 80. (I would provide a link to the blue post but I've already spent an hour searching. Blegh.) As soon as your character dings that level, the granted experience bonus will not apply to any quests or monster kills. This shouldn't be a humongous issue, though, considering the inflation in item levels salves the sting.

Comment by ceasure

New heirloom for the upcoming patch 5.2 it will replace Polished Breastplate of Valor for 2175 Justice Points.

Edit: Why downrate true info? me getting it before wowhead does doesn't make me wrong.

Comment by Ebyssius

This is the upgraded version of Polished Breastplate of Valor.
Upgrading to the level 85 version will cost one Polished Breastplate of Valor and an additional 2175 JP.
Source

Comment by zolyisback

As I see it these will be pretty much pointless to get, not only the weapons but all the items. They'll be useful at 81 just like the other level 85 capped heirlooms, then you can just buy the 82-83 mop greens that are vastly superior and will have you tearing through quests like mad to 85. I'd say just take the time you'd take on farming the JP and/or Honor for the desired looms and use that to farm on a main for more than enough money to buy the mop greens and you'll be much better set and get much faster experience gain through brute force of overwhelming next-expansion stats.

Comment by Boomgoesyou

Doesn't scale until you reach level 81.

Comment by WokkaD

For Warriors and Paladins (and anyone else) under level 40, these show as Mail armour.
