Heirloom is an item type that was introduced in the WotLK Wrath of the Lich King expansion. These items have a light-yellow or pale golden hue in their text color, and their attributes scale with the character's level. Nearly all heirloom items are named after popular items from the early days of classic World of Warcraft, and share the look of these items. Sometimes any Bind to Account items are referred to as 'heirlooms' even though they are not technically the same (they usually don't scale, unlike true heirlooms). Once purchased, heirlooms bind to the account, as opposed to an individual character. This means they can be mailed to any character that shares the same account and realm, and as of Patch 3.3, including those of opposing faction. Quality equivalent and type transformation Heirloom items can be returned for a refund within the normal two-hour grace period, but only if the item was not mailed to a different character yet. Heirlooms automatically take on the attributes of a blue quality item of the level of its wearer. At level 80, heirlooms are approximately equivalent to an item level 187 rare item, and will ultimately be replaced by questing, instancing, and PvP at the maximum level. Heirloom items do not have a durability stat, and do not need to be repaired. This saves money when leveling your character. Heirlooms were given a durability stat in Patch 3.3.5, but this was quickly hotfixed. Mail and plate items scale with characters as they become able to wear them at level 40. For instance, if you buy a mail heirloom armor item, it will scale down to leather when equipped on a level 12 shaman and then scale back to mail again when the shaman reaches 40. Heirloom armor pieces (not counting trinkets) allow greater experience gains while wearing them.
