By the look of this, I get the feeling we won't be able to get enchanted heirlooms from other characters...... :( hopefully I'm wrong.
you still have to equip the item to use it, so my idea is that you still can enchant it. i think i already posted about this in another thread: how i see it is that you create a copy of the item via this page to your inventory and then you can enchant it via your own profession (you could possibly still mail it (?), even if it's irrelevant for f2p).
 
Either way linked accounts should be able to get the heirloom helm, legs and cloak. Good news for horde with no eye patch ;) also means not being forced to keep engineering profession!
 
Blizzard are going to be pissing off a lot of people if you can't transfer enchanted items between characters any more. I got the full set of heirlooms for cloth wearers on my p2p account, enchanted them all, and mail/ed them between priest, mage and warlock, as well as druid and 2x shaman before they got armor bonuses for wearing leather or mail. I could also use my heirlooms on monk or paladin healers at low levels.

This isn't much of an improvement if we're trading in the ability to play what we want, whenever we want, without having to buy a full set of enchants every time we switch, for the ability to get heirlooms to linked accounts or other realms.


[edit]

Don't know how it'll affect this, but something mentioned at Blizcon is kind of related to this, that said they're reworking the enchanting system, including that the number of gear slots that can be enchanted will be reduced, but the number of enchants per slot (item) will go up.

If they're reworking the enchanting system we can hope that it includes adding lower level requirements for enchants, instead of having level 60 enchants usable on level 1 chars, and level 70 enchants usable on level 35 chars.

Im curious about what is going to happen to currently enchanted items. E.g. they make pants unenchantable - will now enchanted BoA pants still have their enchs like some ppl still have enchanted BoA head pieces?
