Accountwide Heirlooms, Vanity Items and Tabards (picture)

Heirlooms are now truly cross-realm and account-bound. All characters on the account (new and old) will be able to summon the heirlooms that have been unlocked straight into their inventories!

This really looks like the item will drop into our bag space and unless we can enchant items directly onto the BoA tab window? I don't see how anyone will have enchants on these items. It doesn't look like you "check-in" and item after use so if anything, enchants look to be dependent on the character using the BoA and are applied after the item reaches our bags. This is just speculation based on how it's worded...

Ticket open: I'll post the results...

Hi I just had a question about WoD and the new BoA system and I know you have limited knowledge/ability to talk about these things at this time... but it might save me some gold so I'd appreciate any knowledge you can pass on:

I'm looking to enchant my BoA items, like a good amount of them. The new tab system seems to be a "click heirloom item, and it gets dropped in our bags" system. There’s no mention of enchants(existing or applied after relase) or mogs... Will we have a way to enchant those items directly from the pane... or will enchants be applied after we have summoned the item to our bags and therefore dependent on what that character can do? As it stands right now, it's looking like heirloom enchants are being wiped off with the new system and I'd like to get an idea before I go crazy and enchant all my stuff only to lose all that money/effort at release... ;) Thank you for your time.
 
Called it, it's basically like the tabard npc except its portable now.
It's a new UI of (essentially) buttons that will "light up" when you obtain one (or have obtained one) of the heirlooms. Click the button and an item of that type will be generated and put into your bags.
 
If enchants on heirlooms get removed then p2ps will just enchant their blues.. ughh why can't we get our own bracket :(

Because that would imply that Blizz cares about a subgroup of players that don't even give them money?
 
I'd say just having the option of an heirloom tab is a big victory. now we can make alts without the grinding that makes me want to tear my eyes out!
 
I'll be honest, this news makes me want to sub for a month or two just to get whatever heirlooms I don't already have.

I would also sub and buy the expansion for a month or 2 if this works for f2p.

Big if actually, blizzard may decide to exclude trial accounts from accessing it, like they did with pet battles. If that happens then I definitely will not buy the expansion or subscribe at all.

The enchants aren't being removed. The character with the gear in their bags or equipped will still have it. As is. Any other character accessing that BoA through the window will have to reenchant it.

yeah totally, you can generate a copy of the heirloom in any character of any server, then there is no infos that you cant enchant it. I def think you can enchant them or they would have mentionned it.
