Rarity

How rare is it on an account?

Hard to find on accounts: partnership Mythics were only available during their collaboration and EA keeps them out of the Mythic store. Heirlooms cannot be traded or moved between accounts.

  • Ask for a current screenshot of the melee slot or the heirloom collection: titles often state only a heirloom count.
  • Full access to the EA account (email, login and password) so you can secure it yourself. Buying checklist.
