The next patch for "World of Warcraft" is expected to bring a new heirloom system as well as a whole lot of new features when it rolls out on Feb. 25, a post from Battle.net confirmed.
Patch 6.1, which is now available for pre-loading, will feature heirloom items that will be included in the new system. These items can also be upgraded to the maximum level with three groups, depending on their current level.
Also, those with enough gold can utilize the updated heirloom management system to buy all the heirlooms that are available for honor or justice points for Warlords of Draenor. When all these items have been bought, all the characters in the player's Battle.net can access the heirlooms.
The official "WoW" blog also mentioned several alternative methods for getting heirlooms, such as:
- Buying heirlooms from Darkmoon Faire using Darkmoon Prize Tickets.
- Purchasing tier-1 and tier-2 heirlooms from Argent Tournament using Champion's Seals.
- Acquiring tier-2 and tier-3 Heirlooms using the currency that were gathered from several world events.
The new patch 6.1 will also bring an update for the Blood Elves character models, including all the fixes for the upgraded races in the past.
Added bug fixes are included in the new patch, such as:
- Fixed garden sickle that is now located correctly on the hip.
- Rogues can now automatically fail the Sanctum coliseum scenario of the Gladiator when they utilize the Death from Above talent.
- Fixed the issue wherein the characters that went through a paid faction change may not be able to finish the achievement needed in Upgrading the Mill.
Blizzard has already made the patch available on Feb. 20 as a background download on the BattleNet app so that players can start playing "WoW" once the patch 6.1 update becomes active. Players just have to make sure that the desktop app of BattleNet is properly installed to make it run accurately.
