WotLK Classic brings many new quality-of-life changes to the game. One of which is heirloom gear. These special items will grant a character bonus experience for leveling while wearing them.
There are no class restrictions for heirlooms; they are only limited by armor type.

How to get heirlooms in Wrath Classic (WotLK)?
Level 80 characters can purchase most heirlooms by exchanging various amounts of Emblem of Heroism. Later, they can also be bought with Champion’s Seal from the Argent Tournament.
Certain heirlooms can also be acquired from participating in the Wintergrasp PvP zone and bought with Stone Keeper’s Shard. The heirlooms available are either weapons or shoulders.
Heirloom Armor in Wrath Classic
Each armor piece grants +10% bonus XP to a character. In WotLK, heirlooms are only available for two gear slots, shoulders, and chest (there’s also one ring). There are two different shoulders for each type, one acquired from PvE content currency and another from PvP content.

Heirloom Enchants

Conclusion
Heirlooms are essential for leveling alts faster and are a welcome addition to the game for many players. However, the downside of them is that they do take away the upgrading-gear element of leveling, which degrades the overall RPG experience of the game for some players.
