Heirloom Upgrade Token Prices Reduced in Patch 8.1.5

Recommended Posts

ENwTPvr.jpg

In this week's 8.1.5 PTR Build 29281, Blizzard reduced the price of all Heirlooms upgrade tokens.

New tokens can be purchased in Patch 8.1.5 that upgrade Heirlooms to scale to level 120. The introductory gold cost was 15,000 Gold for Battle-Hardened Heirloom Armor Casing Battle-Hardened Heirloom Armor Casing and 22,500 Gold for the weapon token (Battle-Hardened Heirloom Scabbard Battle-Hardened Heirloom Scabbard), but this week, the gold price of all upgrade tokens went down across the board.

Here's the new gold cost of Heirloom tokens in Patch 8.1.5:

In the most-recent new build on the PTR (that was deployed yesterday), the prices of the upgrade tokens were adjusted. They should now be:

Tier Armor Weapon
90 500 Gold 1,000 Gold 750 1,200 Gold
100 1,000 2,000 Gold 1,500 5,000 Gold
110 2,000 5,000 Gold 3,000 7,500 Gold
120 [New in 8.1.5] 5,000 Gold 7,500 Gold

Another quality-of-life improvement is coming to alt gearing in Patch 8.1.5, as new tokens will drop from Island Expeditions. Check out our Patch 8.1.5 hub for more details about the patch!

Hoh boy, this is a much needed change.

As mentioned on the token reveal for upgrading to 120 post. This one right here. I mentioned that the total cost would sit around the 77700 cost for a 'full set'

13700 alone for one weapon, one-handed or two-handed. --> Will be reduced to 12750

Neck, helmet, cloak, chest and legs are 40000 --> Will be 'reduced' to 42500(*)

Off-hands/shields/trinkets/rings, basically everything but weapon. Will also be from 8000 --> to now 8500 for a full upgrade from 60 to 120

A full efficient set of heirlooms for the leveling crazed alt-o-holic. Counting both rings, two unique trinkets and an off-hand/shield.

Will now range from previously 93700 gold 60-110, to now a whole new cost of  72250 for a 60-120 set

(*) Since previous upgraded to 110 and this will be 120 now.  Hence the reduction.

Honestly they need to introduce a 'max level' upgrade item, it can even be more expensive than the other, because holy hell is it tedious to upgrade a set that hasn't been upgraded for a while.

Wouldn't be a bad idea considering they are adding more allied races with heritage gear, and I would suspect they continue that trend on. Though I'd personally enjoy a full two races. One for each faction once again like the worgen and goblins.

Or at least that they skip a few steps. Perhaps a 60 to 90 and 90 to 120.

This is great news for folks like me who have only recently returned to the game, in that switching to a new main will not require nearly as much downtime to "catch up" the old fashioned way.

Is that tedium a 'necessary evil' to ensure that content leading up to the 'max ilevel' does not become obsolete as soon as someone has completed it?

Blizzard seems to want to provide a million different paths to the same endgame, but each path still has work required to walk it.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
