WoW Forever ships with Heritage armor sets — class-themed transmog sets that reward players for leveling alts to 60. The Skyborne Heritage armor sets are the most visually distinctive in the game, with wind-and-element themed appearances unique to the new race. This guide covers every Skyborne Heritage set, how to obtain them, and why Skyborne is the meta pick for cosmetic-focused players.

Quick summary: Skyborne Heritage sets are awarded at level 60 after completing the Skyborne Loremaster achievement. Each class has a unique set with wind/element themed visuals. Sets are account-wide unlocks but per-character transmog. Skyborne is the first race to get unique Heritage sets in WoW Forever.
What is Heritage Armor?
Heritage Armor is a transmog reward system that gives players unique class-themed armor sets when they level specific race-class combinations to level 60.
How Heritage works

Why it matters
