First off, please disregard my awful graphics card. Everything in the game looks like it’s built with LEGOs.
After many hours (more like 8 minutes), I decided to go with another dwarf for the new priest alt; this time it’s a female. The reasons came down to a) the awesome casting animation b) the rarity/repulsiveness of female dwarfs and c) the fact that I can probably tolerate Dun Morogh one more time.
She’s pictured above, modeling her heirloom Tattered Dreadmist Robe, which will level along with her and give a 10% XP boost. After a few more heroics I’ll have enough badges for the matching Tattered Dreadmist Mantle, which adds another 10% XP bonus.
I’m in the middle of laying out the complete list of heirloom items and the total emblem/shard cost, for those that are interested in pimping out their new priests.
Now for a little bitching and complaining…
There is a possibility that I’m missing something, but if not, the way to purchase heirloom items is stupidly tedious and annoying. The items cost around 40 Emblems of Heroism. When Wrath was first released and there were only two types of badges (Heroism and Valor), purchasing heirloom items wasn’t so bad. If you raided and had Valors, in order to buy the items, you had to convert 40 Emblems of Valor into 40 Emblems of Heroism. Yes, this means clicking close to 80 times for one purchase.
Now, with 3 MORE different badges in place, it’s out of hand. You have to convert Emblems of Frost to Emblems of Triumph 40x, then Emblems of Triumph to Emblems of Conquest 40x, then Conquest to Valor, then Valor to Heroism. I developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome midway through the shitty process.
Am I missing something or is this really how we’re supposed to handle it?

Shift-click let’s you convert the badges by stack. So while it’s still inconvenient, you don’t need to click just as many times. Have been guilty of doing so myself until I read it on some comments…
Great tip! I’ll give it a shot in the next few days when it’s time to purchase another piece. Thanks a lot.
I was going to say the same thing , just shift click in intervals of 20max ..saves lots of time! Keep the blog up love to see new priest postings!
You’re missing something. Just type the amount of badges you want to downgrade into the box…don’t mess with clicking or shift-clicking…
Type the number of emblems you want to exchange in the box.
Excellent. Now, can you guys give me back the hour I’ve spent clicking and right-clicking unnecessarily? Thanks for the tips. I knew there had to be a better way.
