This is one of the new Heirloom Items introduced in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. The whereabouts of Heirloom Rings is currently Unknown but most likely will be made available through random profession dailies luck. I feel safe enough saying this since our last Heirloom ring was available from Fishing.

The following Heirlooms are unlockable through the Guild system:

Guild Reputation: Friendly

Guild Reputation: Revered

The following Heirlooms have been added during Cataclysm but whereabouts are unknown:

Heirloom Legs

Heirloom Rings

Patch 4.1 Additions
The first Major patch of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm introduced new Heirloom items that were created to help Plate classes obtain the necessary defensive stats to properly Tank dungeons.

For players interested in obtaining the many Heirloom that are available, below is a table of how they can be obtained and the price associated with each one.

And finally, for everyone interested in what pieces of gear you should put together for the Ultimate Leveling Set for that special new alt of yours, I present to you a list of classes and the items that suit them best.

Tanking (Plate) Death Knight Paladin Warrior **New in 4.1**

Physical (Plate) Death Knight Paladin Warrior

Physical (Mail) Hunter Shaman

Physical (Leather) Druid Rogue

Spellcaster (Mail) Paladin Shaman

Spellcaster (Leather) Druid

Spellcaster (Cloth) Mage Priest Warlock

My apologies for some inaccurate information previously. This comment was made during the Cataclysm Beta and I just never got around to updating it. Prices have been fixed and it now looks sexier then ever.

Patch 4.1 Heirloom Update
All Heirloom items have had their bindings changed to bind to a single Battle.Net account instead of a World of Warcraft account. This change will let you transfer your items across factions, realms and even the other active World of Warcraft accounts on your Battle.Net Account.

Blizzard has also implemented Tanking Heirlooms with Patch 4.1. Please see above for their names! Links will not be live until the data is merged to the main Wowhead site.

gotta love the model of it, altho it might be a placeholder =(

Comment by 367639

That isnt a placeholder. that model is used on the level 57 item this BoA is named after.

Comment by Darkenh

If all of these items are implemented in Cataclysm, you can get up to a 55% increase in experience gained from killing monsters and completing quests.

Helm: 10%
Back: 5%
Chest: 10%
Pants: 10%
Shoulders: 10%
Ring 1: 5%
Ring 2: 5%

Plus, with the other ways to gain extra experience, you can get a grand total of 375% increase in experience!

Rest exp: 100%
Recruit a friend: 200%
Guild perks: 10%
Holiday buffs: 10% (like Fire Festival Dance)

Wow, indeed.

Comment by Divyraen

This item has a sell price of 375 gold. This indicates that once the item becomes available at guild quartermaster, it'd likely cost a pretty penny still.

On the other hand we can probably rest assured that it won't cost justice points.

So, here's my question. Do you have to be in the guild when they hit level 20, or do you suddenly gain access to it if you join up with the guild after they hit it. It'd kinda suck to join a guild but then be like, "Oh, you're already level 20. Well, I really want to be able to get the helmet, so see ya later."

Comment by draymon

Ok my question is: Does your alt that will be wearing the cap have to be in the guild also? as my guild has gotten rid of all lowbie alts

Comment by ArashikageClan

What I would like to know is if helm enchants such as the ZG ones will work on this. My guild isn't high enough to confirm yet, but I would hope that they would at least work with an enchantment level requirement.

However, thinking about it, the only helm enchants that would work on these are the ZG ones, which no one can get anymore.

edit: Forgot that libram Arcanums may work too, if you still had any from DM (i.e. Arcanum of Rapidity, Constitution, etc.)

Hardcore Lv 19 twinks can finally say goodbye to their Lucky Fishing Hat.

But if you get heirlooms, shouldn't the friend you recruit also need to have heirlooms to keep up with you?
Or if your the one recruited, you can't get all those heirlooms since you just got an account?
Right?

Comment by Meak

I have a question, if you buy a heirloom cloak or a heirloom head.. and you migrate to another realm WITH the items in your bag, will you be able to use them on that new realm even if youre not honored?

Comment by blackdemon

It's a shame that on my worgen druid, it looks like he's wearing a bag over his head... for the next 60 levels...

Good job, there's kitty form so I don't have to look at it.

Edit. Or indeed I could decide not to see a helm for 60 levels too, or not to use the heirloom at all. Is it possible to transmogrify heirlooms?

Comment by 829510

The boa cloaks and helms will transfer with you if you have them in your bank/bag. I bought all the cloaks before my main transferred realms and have used them on newly created characters there.

Comment by Oisin

Too much questions about what guild level needed and exp bonuses has made us sway from the main point here.

This thing looks awesome.

Comment by MDan

To be clear, only the heirloom head and back items continue scaling after level 80. Also, while you are 80, the head and back heirlooms will be scaled using WotLK stats; meaning at most, if not all, of the items you get in Cata content when 80 will be massive upgrades until you hit 81.

Comment by Wolfgenerator

Better for rogues, cause you can look like a ninja while actually being one

Comment by Wolfgenerator

@#$%

What? Getting ganked by rogues wearing this in PvP, or you can't buy it?

Wish they'd fix this helm on undead males.
