Patch 6.1 - Heirlooms Tab
The long awaited heirlooms tab is finally live in Patch 6.1!

• Heirlooms now scale from 1 to 60
• Heirlooms can be purchased for gold
• The new heirlooms can be upgraded by items like Ancient Heirloom Scabbard and Timeworn Heirloom Scabbard to Level 90 and Level 100.
• Currently, only the Level 90 upgrade is available for purchase and it only upgrades the heirloom to Level 85.
• The old heirlooms haven't changed, but with character copy down we aren't sure what will happen to them.
• Upon logging on to another character, you can click the heirloom to create one for that character.
• Any enchants applied are only applied to that copy of the item and lost upon deleting it.
• Heirlooms are still Bind on Account, so you can mail enchanted heirlooms between characters.

Just wanted to share some early information regarding the 6.1 PTR.

Note: this information is subject to change as plans are implemented. I'll update this thread or make a new one as I receive more information.

• PTR Accounts and realms are currently locked to Mists of Pandaria. Upgrading the PTR accounts to Warlords is a lengthy process so I don't have an exact ETA, but it's something we're actively working on.
• In-game Character Copy is currently offline. The plan is still to use the in-game system as opposed to the old website version (which hasn't been functional since 5.4).
• Characters were wiped after the 6.0.3 PTR realms were brought down last month, and cannot be retrieved at this time.

Patch 6.1 - Twitter UI
The toggle for the Twitter integration is in, but it is currently broken.
