        Appearantly some of you have missed out on the point of these heirloom items.

        Yes, they scale with level. And yes, the [Emblem of Heroism] are only available through doing heroics and 10-man raids.

        HOWEVER, these things are Bind on Account, which means you can buy one on your level 80 toon, and send it to all your other toons on the server at will! Want efficient leveling on your warrior/rogue/hunter? send this in the mail. Done leveling? Send it to your twink to do some sirious murdering in battlegrounds.

            Thats wrong sorry. I have actually leveled a toon with this weapon, and YES all of these Heirlom items DO scale EVERY level. They are limited in that they are item lvl 1, and as such accept few if any enchants of very low level. I do not believe this bow accepts any scope, but havn't tried the lowest ones.

        Lol I think it will be about the same.  Maybe with this gear it would be faster due to 10% exp increase.

        Now it is your choice, would you rather have your boring leveling take longer or be really fast with that extra replaced time doing some heroics.

        Rather do Heroics than leveling imo.

          AND you get the badges while farming for gear. Lets say you want the feral staff in heroic VH, the drop chance is according to Thottbot ~10%(i think?) which means that you most likely will have to do the heroic run more then once, and while doing so: getting emblems which you now can pimp your alt with :)

      Finally makes getting crusader/lifestealing/etc enchants like that worrth it. You wont lvl out of a weapon in one days time so go for a good enchant. I saw a lvl 2 sword the other day with crusader. Well if that stays on when tranfered from toon to toon that would be sweet.

      This does bring me to two questions.

      One do these weapons have enchant lvl requirements. ie Can i get a bow for my lvl 19 hunter and put a 40 crit scope on it or a sword and put mongoose on it.

      Two do the enchants/scopes stay on it when you transfer from a high end ( or any for that matter) alt to a lowbie.

        You have said it a few times, and been equally wrong each time.
        They gain stats each level the player gains.

        I have the bow on my rogue and its stats have increased each level (not much, but a little).

        Lvl 70:
        168-313 dmg  speed 2.8 (86dps)
        37 AP
        13 Crit
        10 Hit

        Lvl 76:
        192-356 dmg speed 2.8 (98dps)
        46 AP
        16 Crit
        13 Hit

        (dun have any chars at levels between so i can't get those stats)


        The thing that makes this less viable for twinks is the fact that NO scopes whatsoever can be used with this bow
        (hopefully blizz will make some changes to allow enchants/scopes based on player level)

      If your THAT lazy and cant seem to farm heroics alot, Have no fear, blizz made Heirloom gear avaible with Stone Keeper shards. Its 200 shards for shoulders and depending on weapon, its between 200-350 for them. These shoulders are basically the same, but instead of giving crit/hit they give resilliance, perfect for your twinks. To get the shards you have to have control of Wintergrasp which is easy, youll have it for 2 and a half hours, more then enough time to run 3 heroics, and you can get about 16 shards per instance, I think they also drop in non heroics.

      Enhancing this bow:

      Any scope can be put on this bow!!  But there is a catch.

      The +40crit scope can be put on, but must be put on by a lvl 70+ toon, and the stats will not apply to players below that lvl.

      So, if you are using this to lvl a rogue/hunter/warrior, instead of spending the gold on the expencive scope, get one that can be used by the toon that you are lvling.

      The stat from the +40 crit will stay on and the bow will still be usable by lower lvl toon, but it will not affect the toon wearing the item unless they meet the requirements of the enhancement.

      The same goes for Heirloom shoulders, one of the patches changed it so you could still put the +stam and resil enhcance (bought with 10k honor), but since the enhancement requires lvl 70, it's stats will not apply to toons wearing the item until they hit lvl 70.

      All Heirloom weapons can only get PreBC chants on them, like crusader, +30sp (from molten core), +15ag to 1H and +25ag to 2H (timbermaw hold rep, honored to get both), and +15str (thorium brotherhood rep, firendly).

      Hope that clears up some of the misconceptions :)

      From my experience of fighting twinks in battlegrounds at lower levels, this bow is far superior to other blue bows avaliable to regular players at their levels. I had a nice blue bow from Traitor Destruction quest reward; good for a lvl 19 hunter in WsG, but got totaly destroyed by a twink -- she had this bow, the heirloom shouldres and heirloom axe, more than 1k hp, and also hits very hard. With my blue bow I could fairly easily kill most rtegular players but here I was owned by her :)

      Not sure if this bow is as superior to other bows/guns at high levels though (lvl > 76). E.g. how would it compare to the lvl 76 gun, Hemet's Trophy Gun, http://thottbot.com/i39486 ?

      edit: forgot about venomstrike, those two are about equal at lvl 19, imo. maybeybe one is a little better than the other, but not by much, i guess. Depending on the play style, if you move a lot kiting then this bow is better, if you can stand still and shoot for a while then venomstrike may be better as it procs also on multishots -- good to use when sdtanding on the roof and shooting at the crowd below in the flag room :)
