Heirlooms
Last Updated:August 26, 2024|Changelog
Heirlooms are items that scale with your character’s level, providing consistent stat boosts as you progress. They are equipped from level 1 and continue to be useful until you reach level 70. Heirlooms come with experience bonuses, which significantly speeds up the leveling process.
Set Bonus
There are bonuses depending on how many Heirlooms you're wearing. Equipping 2, 3, 5 or 6 Heirloom items from the categories Helm, Neck, Shoulders, Chest, Cloak, Ring and Legs means the following:
- 2-Set: Grants you a 30% longer Rested XP period.
- 3-Set: This lets you generate more health while not in combat.
- 5-Set: Every level-up deals AoE damage and grants you 40% more primary stat for 2 minutes.
- 6-Set: Grants you another 30% longer Rested XP period.
How to upgrade Heirlooms
