Blue post: We intend to expand the types of ways that Heirlooms can be attained but for now they are only purchasable via Emblems of Heroism (the new BoJ) and Stone Keeper’s Shards, which are attained by killing any dungeon boss in Northrend while your faction controls Wintergrasp.

I would LOVE to see what the lvl 70 stats are for these items, since I plan on making a level 70 twink

Comment by Whiterea

If you want to level up (not twink) a caster fastly, DO NOT buy this item. It gives 7 stam, 7 res, 6 spell power and 1 mp5 at level 38, which is bad. https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=7721 is better. Guess how much it gives at level 53? 9 stam, 9 res, 7 spell power and 2 mp5! Awesome! And the stamina/resilience bonus is pretty useless when leveling up.

Comment by Dralcon

what level is your druid? some stats dont apply till higher level, like the mana every 5 seconds

Comment by unholynite

what are the stats at lvl 1?...just curious

Comment by 154311

Heirloom items count as a level 1 item in case you were thinking about enchanting these for your alts. In short, no high level enchants on these like Mongoose, Major Spellpower, Etc.

Even if you are level 80 and plan to use this on your max level toon, you still cannot use enchants current to your level thus making these items effectively worthless for anything other than leveling.

The name is probably a reference to The Original Drop In BRD

Comment by 272145

At what level does the (feral attack power) buff kick in?

Comment by 269490

As of 3.1 Patch notes the spell dmg Items will recieve a buff.

Heirloom Items: The bonus spell power granted by these items has been redesigned to provide substantially more benefit for players lower than level 58.

Comment by Kimmi

anyone know what the stats are like at 29 for this?

Comment by frmorrison

This item would be decent for an Enhance Shaman (once they get dual wield at level 41), however after level 58 the weapon dps stops going up all that much, so may drop below quest drops in Outlands.

Comment by 362388

So is this a good weapon for a Pally, or is the Battleworn Thrash Blade a better choice?

Comment by 316508

Stats correction: Lv80 gives 49 mana per 5 sec, not 9 mana per 5 sec

Comment by 151626

Since I noticed the last post on this topic got deleted, this isn't a super horrible weapon for an Enhancement Shaman. If you're like me and you're with the faction that usually has wintergrasp, you end up with a lot of shards that you don't know what to do with (if you don't really PvP). It doesn't have very good STATS for an enhancement shaman to be sure, but the dps is the same as the melee counterpart purchased with champion seals (until 58). Is it the absolute best for this task? No, but I think people tend to forget what it's like leveling in plain 'ol un-enchanted greens. This weapon is probably a lot better than I would have normally.

Keep in mind that once you hit BC territory, that caster weapons get reduced melee dps traded for caster stats. It's still viable for levels between 40-58ish for enhancement.

Comment by datar

this is the best rogue lvl 1 for mh. with the highest dmg and the best speed for that dmg

Comment by 388159

Currently bugged, it does not have spellpower on it anymore.
Yes I know spellpower was removed from items, but only on armor, and only greentexted +SP.

It is still a stat available on weapons/off-hand frills/wands.

Comment by aelox

The spellpower addition on this weapon pre patch 4.0 was integrated into weapon damage. Instead of doing 80dps at level 80 and having bonus spellpower, now it tops out at 120dps.

Looks like I'm now levelling enhance instead of elemental at 61+.

What's odd is that on wowarmory.com, this weapon still has spellpower.

Just talked to a GM... The stats on The Blessed Hammer of Grace are wrong. They are working on a fix.

Comment by 792455

this is same as The Hammer of Grace

Comment by 389481

They worked too much on the fix and overfixed it, it seems.
Because, I incidentally noticed that the The Blessed Hammer of Grace shows more spell power on my paperdoll (I'm a level 82 shaman) than Sambino's Old Hammer, which obviously has a lot more spell power specified.

So I decided to test it on a target dummy, using only Earth Shock, no procs, no trinkets, no variables, and indeed the Blessed Hammer of Grace provides significant increase in spell damage compared to Sambino's Old Hammer which is against what their tooltips say.
This hidden spellpower increase on the Blessed Hammer of Grace, however, does not apply to the other stats, such as Stamina, Intellect, etc. They seem to be correctly represented on the compared items' tooltips.

This makes me believe that either:
1) The Blessed Hammer of Grace continues to scale after lvl 80.
2) The spellpower is unintentionally boosted by an undetermined amount.

Will check the above assumptions when I level to 83.

Quite the valuable item at the moment, eh?

Update:
After brief testing using only Greater Healing Wave due to it's spellpower coefficient of 96%, I am firmly convinced that The Blessed Hammer of Grace provides approximately 200 spell power more than Sambino's Old Hammer (at least on a shaman level 82).

Update 2:
Checked paperdoll before dinging to 83 and compared to Geomancer's Mace The Blessed Hammer of Grace gave my shaman 39 more spellpower. I then proceeded to turn in the quest and dinged to 83. Immediately the difference between Geomancer's Mace and The Blessed Hammer of Grace became an astonishing 241 spellpower to the advantage of The Blessed Hammer of Grace

The spellpower on this item scales past character level 80.

Why does this have spirit on it? Isn't that near useless as a pvp stat, especially for a leveling item?

Comment by unholly

Below is a list of some off-hand frills and shields for use with one handed heirloom weapons.

no ilvl required:
Req. Level 10-15: Ceremonial Buckler, Shield of the Barrens (horde only), Pulsating Hydra Heart, Mystic Tome
Req. Level 16-25: Seedcloud Buckler, Tome of the Dawn, Shield of the Stockades (alliance only), Witch's Finger (horde only), Orb of Mistmantle
Req. Level 26-34: Orb of the Forgotten Seer, Tranquility of Furien (horde only), Gizlock's Hypertech Buckler, Heart of Agamaggan, Star of Stranglethorn
Req. Level 35-40: Beacon of Hope, Warpwood Shield, Umbral Crystal, Spellbound Tome, Rattlecage Buckler, Fire Eater's Guide
Req. Level 41-45: Blackskull Shield, Mountainside Buckler, Book of the Dead, Desertwalker Cane, Observer's Shield, Kreeg's Mug
Req. Level 46-49: Enthralled Sphere, Skull of Burning Shadows, Cracked Orb of Dominion (alliance only), Cracked Orb of Dominion (horde only)

Req. Level 55-59: Rhombeard Protector, Draconian Aegis of the Legion, Tome of the Lost, Demoniac Soul Prison (horde only), Landslide Buckler, Deep Core Lantern

After level 60, you can buy items with honor and/or justice points or can go after some low level raid loots. So, I won't be dealing with items requiring higher level than level 60.

Please note that, these are not BIS items and this is not a complete list of all items.

Since there are low level shield enchants available, you should always try to use a shield. So, I've underlined shields on the list.

edit (20130326): Heirloom Off-Hand Frill added and some wording changed.

Anyone know why this costs 2725 honor, while the other one-handed honor heirlooms only cost 2175 honor?

Comment by Therulnig

The Devout Aurastone Hammer is better than this in about every way, if you were considering for PvP leveling.

The weapon lacks Intellect, and both Spirit and Resilience are poor stats at lower levels. Yes, I said it..Currently (make note of patch this post is from) Resilience is not a strong low level PvP stat. While most ratings give outlandish percentages at low levels due to scaling...Resil was changed in a recent patch to provide linear growth...meaning "BoA Twinks" that enjoyed 25-30% damage reduction in the 19 bracket will find that it is now only providing an almost unnoticeable few % reduction. Resil doesn't take the light until you can fill every slot with it to get decent percentages, which is 70+.
