With no upgrade token the Strength or Intellect stops at +5 at level 30, so the tokens account for the last 7 points.

The level cap starts at 30. The 6 upgrade tokens lift it by 5, 5, 5, 5, 10 and 10 levels in turn, to a final cap of 70, which is 40 levels above the base cap.

Of the 14 differently named shoulder heirlooms, 4 list Strength or Intellect, 14 list Stamina and 8 list Critical Strike among their stat types.

The source line Vendor: Estelle Gendry is shared by 13 other shoulder heirlooms: Burnished Pauldrons of Might, Pristine Lightforge Spaulders, Strengthened Stockade Pauldrons, Aged Pauldrons of The Five Thunders, Champion Herod's Shoulder and Exceptional Stormshroud Shoulders and 7 more.
