Anyway, heirloom items ! For the people who aren't familiar with this relative new term i'm gonna quickly explain what it is.
Heirloom items are BoA items...confused yet? BoA stands for "Bind on Account", so basicly they are items you can send over to your alt/main on the same account but can't send it to a different account.
That's the basic knowledge you should have before reading any further. A while back (at the last blizzcon i reckon) blizzard announced they wanted to do something with items bound to one account so you can "give" your lower lvl alts otherwise BoP items. There was a lot speculation (and drama) about this, a couple ideas were that you could swap BoP items between characters on the same account or items you could buy with a common shared valuta on one account where all the characters on that account could use that valuta.
And as usual it was somewhere in between :P
You'll be able to collect tokens which you are able to spend on items, BoA items to be precise. Then you'll be able to send those tokens/items to your alt to kit him/her out from the start, so yeah, lvl 1 with arcanite reapers !
No, not really but it's gonna be very similar texturewise and statwise (at max lvl ofcourse).
I, for one, really like this especially because you can only upgrade that item (be it a piece of armor or a weapon) every 10 levels. So at lvl1 you get the first version of the item and on lvl 10 you'll be able to upgrade its stats, which pretty much cancels out twinks .
It also doesn't take away from the use of instances because instanceblues will be better at some point than your BoA item, and ofcourse for the quests/xp.
I'll be keeping an eye on those BoA items and update you lot in the future how to obtain them and on what you can spend them.
