Interesting.Probably aesthetic and fact that rolling rare on recruit items is harder than creating an heirloom.
Btw Warforged Mace is ilvl35
Yes, the ilvl 28 blue version. It comes from the BG crates. The BOA hammer is ilvl 25. It's interesting to me that people would get 10 marks of honor before a blue mace, unless there's a benefit that I don't know about.If it is a quest reward that was recently added many of the older people may have picked something else.
Is this the item you are speaking of? If not please link.
