In the past, the system was celebrated in WoW, now the community thinks it is garbage

Erbstücke in World of Warcraft were the last scream. Now they are outdated and the whole system is no longer used.

In World of Warcraft there are a lot of systems that have dusted a little over the years. One of them is definitely the heirloom system. It used to be popular and the items were used regularly. In the meantime, the community agreed: This is not only unnecessarily complicated, but also a waste of time and gold.

What kind of equipment is that? Erbstschück equipment has long tradition in World of Warcraft. These are objects that you save in the collection and then use with every new character. The interesting thing: the items scale with the level of the character. So if you level a twink, the – in theory – always has suitable equipment and never has to replace it until shortly before the maximum level.

At that time there were also other bonuses on the objects, such as a thick XP buff that accelerated leveling. This has been replaced over the years by other bonuses that gain a small advantage in combat or extend the rest bonus.

What is the problem with the heirlooms? In recent years, heirs have not only lost their benefits, but have also become more and more expensive. Specifically changed:

  • Erbstücke no longer grant a bonus on the obtained XP. This was removed when the level speed in the game was increased anyway.
  • Erbats had to be upgraded after each expansion. Initially, they only scale up to level 30 – for all 10 other stages, an upgrade is needed that can cost several thousand gold.
  • Hebstücke are now much worse than equipment from other sources – such as quests or dungeons.

    • If you want to have a whole set of heirs, you have to put several tens of thousands of gold on the table and probably deal with the upgrading system for a while in order to put the objects into the desired level manually.

    The community thinks: In WoW’s Subreddit, the topic is being discussed. Many mourn the heirloom in their old form:

  • “Beasts were so great at the time, now they are just useless.” – Susejesus
  • “This is only a waste of gold. Hardly helps with leveling. ” – Gaz8600
  • “Since the XP bonus has been removed, they have been useless.”-Dahid
  • “I only use it so that I can keep my transmog and don’t have to apply it again after every dungeon.” – Undoingneptune94

    • How could you fix that? Ideas on how the heirlooms could become more attractive again, there are a few in the comments. Some of the suggestions are summarized:

  • The basic price for heirlooms should be more expensive, but the upgrading is eliminated. The heirlooms scale all by themselves to the latest expansion.
  • Erbats must again be equivalent with dungeon loot during leveling.

    • Basically, however, it seems to agree that the heirlooms in their current state no longer meet any real purpose. They are an old system that is slowly being forgotten in many – which is a shame because many have often spent many hundreds of thousands of gold pieces for their collection.
    While heirlooms became weaker, tanks have become more powerful – and soon much stronger!
