As much as I think that'd be great I doubt they will scale the Invasion NPC's as they didn't for the WotLK Invasion. Low Levels still participated but even 70's were getting 1-shot when certain enemies showed up, it was meant as a group activity. They can keep the Invasion NPCs 100-103 and still allow all Levels to participate, it's a purposeful choice to DENY anyone below max Level that opportunity if Blizz has the Live Event in that manner. Lets hope they have even the tiniest sense of Player commitment and allow ALL OF US to participate in what looks like a super fun Event, and then reap some rewards for our time and effort.

And it was an issue for leveling, lol.

While I certainly don't disagree that some find the Events just annoying past the first couple days, there are others like myself that absolutely love them. Everyone needs to keep in mind this is a one time, once every ~2 yrs Event that last for only a couple weeks. They have unique FoS's, Toys, Vanity items, etc that Players get to show off for the rest of their play time.

I'm now reading an interview on Wowcenter (a Polish official fansite) from the Legion summit. It looks like the scaling tech was made especially with the Burning Legion invansion in mind, so that low levels could participate. It was later that Blizzard decided to implement the system to the Broken Isles.
Of course WotLK mobs didn't scale. Even if they wanted, there was no tech for that back then.

The (4) Slots I listed will become the new GF'd BiS (IF) Lower Levels are allowed to participate in the Invasion, if not Blizz can F-off for walling off a super fun Event to Level 100's only.

The Weapons start at iLvL 700, 1/6 and can be upgraded to 725, 6/6. Although Wowhead doesn't list them as having a Level requirement, nor the Large Legion Chest they rarely drop from, I can't imagine Blizz would make that large of an oversight that Level 1's could potentially equip an iLvL 700 Weapon. Now the item used to upgrade those Weapons from 1/6 > 6/6, Coalesced Fel, does require Level 98 so one could surmise that that the Weapons require at least 98.I heard there are weapons but they don't scale down

Damn forgot about that sword, which is funny as I had it for a while until Blizz slapped a Character Level requirement on it.

**UPDATE** As of today, June 16th on the PTR, @SkunkyMunky has confirmed that low Levels toons will be able to participate in the Legion Invasion Events and loot the Small Legion Chest that contains Fel-Touched Armor. He made a Thread about it HERE. Please keep in mind anything can change prior to and even after the Event hits Live Servers but here's to hoping it doesn't and we all get to have some serious fun for a couple weeks!!

I'm really glad I was wrong about this one. This expansion might make me less pessimistic about Blizz. Any news regarding the weapons would be nice.

The "Quests" are Level 100 only that I'm aware of and that gives access to other purchasables that are also Level 100 only. The Zone that has the Invasion will show on your World Map. As soon as you enter the Zone you are 'Instanced' to that Invasion as a Scenario (unless that changes when it hits Live). For now on the PTR this includes all Levels from 10-100 as Blizzards' Instance tech does not allow 1-9.
You will get a drop (goes right into your Bags) at the completion of Stage 2 (possibly 3 also) and Stage 4 that can have the Fel-Touched Armor and Stage 4's Chest can have a Level appropriate Weapon. These items scale exactly to that of Heirlooms at each respective Character Level, at least at lower Levels. So far the 4 items I listed in the OP and possibly the Weapons are the only ones really worth it outside of xmog and non-Loom builds as the 4 main body Heirlooms are superior in Stats to the Fel-Touched Armor.

There's another thread on here I was looking at before I went to bed.....dude had a one handed sword which gave 51 intellect instead of just a little intellect with lots of spellpower which is what heirlooms offer. This is good considering that casters (affliction at least) need to watch their mana (and life tap) so a bigger mana pool in wPvP is nice. Different secondary stats to mess around with as well.

While that is a very good point, your Mana pool has a hard cap from Int alone and only Enchants with +Mana can increase that value. I know on my 10 Priest I exceeded the hard cap without any Enchants, same with my Druid when I go Resto on him. That said, yes, you make a perfectly valid point and at the very least the Weapons and Fel-Touched Armor (for the 4 Loom slots) give us a variety in Gearing.
EDIT: There's one other possibility for having pure Int instead of Int/SP and that's Mp5. Blizz is removing Spirit in Legion so I can only imagine that Mp5 will be handled with Int then Spec, as in Healing Specs will have innate higher Mp5 than DPS Specs.
