And what we're going to do in today's video is we're going to do in today's video is we're going to do in today's video is map out everything you've got to do nice map out everything you've got to do nice map out everything you've got to do nice and simple so you can get your and simple so you can get your and simple so you can get your characters ready. characters ready. characters ready. Step zero
is Leadron's quest. Remember Step zero is Leadron's quest. Remember Step zero is Leadron's quest. Remember the quest you get from her gives you a the quest you get from her gives you a the quest you get from her gives you a crafting spark every week. So pick this crafting spark every week.

up first thing each week and finish it while you're doing other content. And while you're doing other content. And while you're doing other content. And I'll talk a bit more about crafting I'll talk a bit more about crafting I'll talk a bit more about crafting later on because we don't want to do later on because we don't want to do later on because we don't want to do that right now. First we want to go and
that right now. First we want to go and that right now. First we want to go and do content. Okay, the world boss. You do content. Okay, the world boss. You do content. Okay, the world boss. You know what a world boss is? It's the big know what a world boss is? It's the big know what a world boss is? It's the big dude on the map that gets zerged down. dude on the map that gets

But what you may not know is you're But what you may not know is you're But what you may not know is you're actually guaranteed a piece of champion actually guaranteed a piece of champion actually guaranteed a piece of champion gear. Now, unfortunately, it is warbound gear. Now, unfortunately, it is warbound gear. Now, unfortunately, it is warbound and it can be for any spec, just and it
can be for any spec, just and it can be for any spec, just anything on its loot table, not just anything on its loot table, not just anything on its loot table, not just what you're currently playing. So, it's what you're currently playing. So, it's what you're currently playing. So, it's partially there for alts, but you could partially there for alts, but you could partially there for alts, but you could get lucky and find that it's
useful on get lucky and find that it's useful on get lucky and find that it's useful on your main. So, kill the boss and I guess your main. So, kill the boss and I guess your main. So, kill the boss and I guess pray that you can use the drop. And once pray that you can use the drop. And once pray that you can use the drop. And once you're done praying, let's talk about you're done
praying, let's talk about you're done praying, let's talk about the other kind of prey. the other kind of prey. the other kind of prey. The real step one is prey. And it's not The real step one is prey. And it's not The real step one is prey. And it's not first just because it's new. It's first just because it's new. It's first just because it's new. It's designed to go before delves in your designed to go
before delves in your designed to go before delves in your weekly flow. You see, each of your first weekly flow. You see, each of your first weekly flow. You see, each of your first two runs per difficulty gives you a gear two runs per difficulty gives you a gear two runs per difficulty gives you a gear box. And this week, you should be able box. And this week, you should be able box. And this week, you
should be able to get renown 4 with Astralore, and that to get renown 4 with Astralore, and that to get renown 4 with Astralore, and that will unlock nightmare difficulty, which will unlock nightmare difficulty, which will unlock nightmare difficulty, which will get you champion gear. And if will get you champion gear. And if will get you champion gear. And if you're not at renown level four, just go you're not at renown level four, just go you're
not at renown level four, just go do some hunts until you are. Now, the do some hunts until you are. Now, the do some hunts until you are. Now, the key thing is that the boxes you get from key thing is that the boxes you get from key thing is that the boxes you get from these have also got plenty of coffer key these have also got plenty of coffer key these have also got plenty of
coffer key shards, and you're going to need those shards, and you're going to need those shards, and you're going to need those for your bountiful delves later on. But for your bountiful delves later on. But for your bountiful delves later on. But the major reason to do this first is the major reason to do this first is the major reason to do this first is that Astrolor has a new weekly quest. that Astrolor has a new

Basically, it's how you get important. Basically, it's how you get important. Basically, it's how you get the best possible delve loot. The way it the best possible delve loot. The way it the best possible delve loot. The way it works is that when you use it, the next works is
that when you use it, the next works is that when you use it, the next delve you complete will have a hidden delve you complete will have a hidden delve you complete will have a hidden trove at the end with even bigger loot. trove at the end with even bigger loot. trove at the end with even bigger loot. And if you do a tier eight or above And if you do a tier eight or above And
if you do a tier eight or above delve, it'll give you a bit of hero delve, it'll give you a bit of hero delve, it'll give you a bit of hero gear. Now, you can also get the bounty gear. Now, you can also get the bounty gear. Now, you can also get the bounty and nullius encounter randomly, but the and nullius encounter randomly, but the and nullius encounter randomly, but the benefit of Astralor's beacon is it's
benefit of Astralor's beacon is it's benefit of Astralor's beacon is it's just exactly whenever you use it, which just exactly whenever you use it, which just exactly whenever you use it, which is a nice little efficient path. So, is a nice little efficient path. So, is a nice little efficient path. So, work your way up to tier eight in your work your way up to tier eight in your work your way up to tier eight in
your delves, go into one of your choice, delves, go into one of your choice, delves, go into one of your choice, summon in Nullius for an ass kicking, summon in Nullius for an ass kicking, summon in Nullius for an ass kicking, loot your bounty, and get ready to do loot your bounty, and get ready to do loot your bounty, and get ready to do more delves. So, let's talk about more delves. So, let's talk about more
delves. So, let's talk about delves. delves. delves. Step three, bountiful delves. Every day, Step three, bountiful delves. Every day, Step three, bountiful delves. Every day, four dolls will be bountiful for one run four dolls will be bountiful for one run four dolls will be bountiful for one run on that character. And at tier eight, on that character. And at tier eight, on that character. And at tier eight, the good news is they really are quite the
good news is they really are quite the good news is they really are quite easy with Valyria set to healer, and easy with Valyria set to healer, and easy with Valyria set to healer, and they reward you with real juicy loot. they reward you with real juicy loot. they reward you with real juicy loot. You'll get champion gear at two out of You'll get champion gear at two out of You'll get champion gear at two out
of six and a handful of champion crests to six and a handful of champion crests to six and a handful of champion crests to upgrade that gear with. Now, once you upgrade that gear with. Now, once you upgrade that gear with. Now, once you make your way up to tier 11, they'll make your way up to tier 11, they'll make your way up to tier 11, they'll even drop a few hero crests. But the even drop
a few hero crests. But the even drop a few hero crests. But the thing is, you'll need one of these thing is, you'll need one of these thing is, you'll need one of these restored coffer keys to open the restored coffer keys to open the restored coffer keys to open the bountiful boxes that spawn at the end of bountiful boxes that spawn at the end of bountiful boxes that spawn at the end of a bountiful delve,
which of course is a bountiful delve, which of course is a bountiful delve, which of course is another reason to do prey first, cuz another reason to do prey first, cuz another reason to do prey first, cuz you'll get loads of this resource. Now, you'll get loads of this resource. Now, you'll get loads of this resource. Now, every 100 coffer key shards will every 100 coffer key shards will every 100 coffer key shards will automatically convert
into a full key automatically convert into a full key automatically convert into a full key whenever you enter a delve. And to get whenever you enter a delve. And to get whenever you enter a delve. And to get you started, Lita will hand you 200 you started, Lita will hand you 200 you started, Lita will hand you 200 shards as a part of the Delve intro shards as a part of the Delve intro shards as a
part of the Delve intro quest for this season. If you want more, quest for this season. If you want more, quest for this season. If you want more, you'll just have to go and farm them. you'll just have to go and farm them. you'll just have to go and farm them. But the good news is they come from But the good news is they come from But the good news is they come from basically everything else
in the world. basically everything else in the world. basically everything else in the world. So, world events, prey, special So, world events, prey, special So, world events, prey, special assignments, world quests, and I found assignments, world quests, and I found assignments, world quests, and I found even just killing rares. And this time even just killing rares. And this time even just killing rares. And this time round, the cap is 600 shards a week. So, round, the
cap is 600 shards a week. So, round, the cap is 600 shards a week. So, that's six keys, six big chances for that's six keys, six big chances for that's six keys, six big chances for loot. Now, once your number turns red, loot. Now, once your number turns red, loot. Now, once your number turns red, that's basically Blizzard cutting you that's basically Blizzard cutting you that's basically Blizzard cutting you off for the week because you will
have off for the week because you will have off for the week because you will have hit the cap for those shards. But by the hit the cap for those shards. But by the hit the cap for those shards. But by the time that happens, your great vault time that happens, your great vault time that happens, your great vault world row will now be full as well. world row will now be full as well. world row
will now be full as well. That's by doing three nightmare prey That's by doing three nightmare prey That's by doing three nightmare prey hunts and at least five tier eight hunts and at least five tier eight hunts and at least five tier eight delves. You may have seen what Blizzard delves. You may have seen what Blizzard delves. You may have seen what Blizzard have done there. They've basically just have done there. They've basically just have done
there. They've basically just made the numbers add up to fill up your made the numbers add up to fill up your made the numbers add up to fill up your great vault. So, it's kind of crafty. great vault. So, it's kind of crafty. great vault. So, it's kind of crafty. It's basically all one smooth weekly It's basically all one smooth weekly It's basically all one smooth weekly flow that's a hell of a lot better than flow
that's a hell of a lot better than flow that's a hell of a lot better than the old delve grinding we used to have the old delve grinding we used to have the old delve grinding we used to have to do. Now, once your delver's journey to do. Now, once your delver's journey to do. Now, once your delver's journey has reached level two, you will want to has reached level two, you will want to has reached
level two, you will want to work up to doing three tier 11 delves, work up to doing three tier 11 delves, work up to doing three tier 11 delves, not just tier eight or above. And you not just tier eight or above. And you not just tier eight or above. And you want to do those tier 11s because those want to do those tier 11s because those want to do those tier 11s because those will get
you gilded stashes. Now, the will get you gilded stashes. Now, the will get you gilded stashes. Now, the gilded stashes don't have gear, but they gilded stashes don't have gear, but they gilded stashes don't have gear, but they do have hero crests, which we want for do have hero crests, which we want for do have hero crests, which we want for our upgrades. And once your Delver's our upgrades. And once your Delver's our upgrades. And once
your Delver's journey is renowned for, they'll even journey is renowned for, they'll even journey is renowned for, they'll even start dropping myth crests, which really start dropping myth crests, which really start dropping myth crests, which really is the best thing that we can get here. is the best thing that we can get here. is the best thing that we can get here. Okay, a few more little tips on Dells Okay, a few more little tips on
Dells Okay, a few more little tips on Dells before we move on. So, if you see these before we move on. So, if you see these before we move on. So, if you see these Nullius minions marked, you absolutely Nullius minions marked, you absolutely Nullius minions marked, you absolutely want to kill them. That's because want to kill them. That's because want to kill them. That's because they'll upgrade the Nemesis strong box. they'll upgrade the Nemesis strong
box. they'll upgrade the Nemesis strong box. You'll want to do that because it'll You'll want to do that because it'll You'll want to do that because it'll just have more crests and a bunch of just have more crests and a bunch of just have more crests and a bunch of useful items. Plus, if you go and kill useful items. Plus, if you go and kill useful items. Plus, if you go and kill Nllius himself in the
Torment Rise Nllius himself in the Torment Rise Nllius himself in the Torment Rise Delve, you'll get crests that don't Delve, you'll get crests that don't Delve, you'll get crests that don't count towards your cap, which is count towards your cap, which is count towards your cap, which is brilliant. You get 30 hero quests for brilliant. You get 30 hero quests for brilliant. You get 30 hero quests for the easy tier and then 30 of both hero
the easy tier and then 30 of both hero the easy tier and then 30 of both hero and myth crests for the hard tier, which and myth crests for the hard tier, which and myth crests for the hard tier, which by the way is actually doable already by the way is actually doable already by the way is actually doable already here. In fact, it's doable so quickly here. In fact, it's doable so quickly here. In fact,
it's doable so quickly that the leaderboards for it filled up that the leaderboards for it filled up that the leaderboards for it filled up within hours of the season, which does within hours of the season, which does within hours of the season, which does kind of blow. But with all that done, we kind of blow. But with all that done, we kind of blow. But with all that done, we have a lot of gear. So, it's
now time to have a lot of gear. So, it's now time to have a lot of gear. So, it's now time to group up. group up. group up. Step three and a half, mythic zero Step three and a half, mythic zero Step three and a half, mythic zero dungeons. And yes, I really did say dungeons. And yes, I really did say dungeons. And yes, I really did say that. Mythic Zeros. You see, with the that. Mythic
Zeros. You see, with the that. Mythic Zeros. You see, with the launch of this season, dungeons have launch of this season, dungeons have launch of this season, dungeons have rotated over where instead of the eight rotated over where instead of the eight rotated over where instead of the eight midnight dungeons, we now have the midnight dungeons, we now have the midnight dungeons, we now have the current season's roster, which is four current season's roster, which is
four current season's roster, which is four midnight dungeons and then four old midnight dungeons and then four old midnight dungeons and then four old dungeons, which have basically been dungeons, which have basically been dungeons, which have basically been redesigned and tweaked up. These are redesigned and tweaked up. These are redesigned and tweaked up. These are available on Mythic Zero. They have a available on Mythic Zero. They have a available on Mythic Zero. They have a daily
loot lockout and they drop daily loot lockout and they drop daily loot lockout and they drop champion gear. And this is huge. It is champion gear. And this is huge. It is champion gear. And this is huge. It is extremely generous compared to, well, extremely generous compared to, well, extremely generous compared to, well, champion gear being normally on weekly champion gear being normally on weekly champion gear being normally on weekly lockouts elsewhere. And the great thing
lockouts elsewhere. And the great thing lockouts elsewhere. And the great thing is they're also not all that much harder is they're also not all that much harder is they're also not all that much harder than they were last week. So if you like than they were last week. So if you like than they were last week. So if you like doing dungeons, just go do all of these doing dungeons, just go do all of these doing
dungeons, just go do all of these and you'll actually get quite a lot of and you'll actually get quite a lot of and you'll actually get quite a lot of champion gear. Now, there's a good champion gear. Now, there's a good champion gear. Now, there's a good reason why I have these down a step 3.5 reason why I have these down a step 3.5 reason why I have these down a step 3.5 in the guide. And
that's because while in the guide. And that's because while in the guide. And that's because while they're great, the dungeon gear is they're great, the dungeon gear is they're great, the dungeon gear is farmable. And with Mythic Plus out next farmable. And with Mythic Plus out next farmable. And with Mythic Plus out next week, farming low champion gear right week, farming low champion gear right week, farming low champion gear right now is basically a lot of
effort for now is basically a lot of effort for now is basically a lot of effort for what ultimately will be a short-term what ultimately will be a short-term what ultimately will be a short-term gain. But if you enjoy dungeons, it's a gain. But if you enjoy dungeons, it's a gain. But if you enjoy dungeons, it's a good option. And if you're thinking good option. And if you're thinking good option. And if you're thinking about the
dungeon row of your great about the dungeon row of your great about the dungeon row of your great vault, well, the great vault reward for vault, well, the great vault reward for vault, well, the great vault reward for these is still just champion gear. So, these is still just champion gear. So, these is still just champion gear. So, if you want something a bit more if you want something a bit more if you want something a
bit more long-term and inefficient, well, move on long-term and inefficient, well, move on long-term and inefficient, well, move on to step four. But if you're already to step four. But if you're already to step four. But if you're already watching this and Mythic Plus is already watching this and Mythic Plus is already watching this and Mythic Plus is already out, then my advice is essentially the out, then my advice is essentially the out, then my advice
is essentially the usual. Just farm out as much as you can usual. Just farm out as much as you can usual. Just farm out as much as you can be bothered to do. That's how M Plus be bothered to do. That's how M Plus be bothered to do. That's how M Plus works. works. works. Step four is raids. This one could be Step four is raids. This one could be Step four is raids. This one could
be efficient, but it may not be thrilling. efficient, but it may not be thrilling. efficient, but it may not be thrilling. So, you may want to queue up for LFR So, you may want to queue up for LFR So, you may want to queue up for LFR raid, and that's cuz it's a loweffort raid, and that's cuz it's a loweffort raid, and that's cuz it's a loweffort chance at getting some veteran gear. chance at getting some
veteran gear. chance at getting some veteran gear. More importantly, there's the other More importantly, there's the other More importantly, there's the other reason why you do this, and that is your reason why you do this, and that is your reason why you do this, and that is your tier gear. So, like usual, the tier set tier gear. So, like usual, the tier set tier gear. So, like usual, the tier set bonus is actually strong enough that
bonus is actually strong enough that bonus is actually strong enough that it's absolutely worth rushing towards it's absolutely worth rushing towards it's absolutely worth rushing towards it. That's reason enough to go and hit it. That's reason enough to go and hit it. That's reason enough to go and hit up LFR, but this time round, there's up LFR, but this time round, there's up LFR, but this time round, there's actually more reason than normal. And actually more
reason than normal. And actually more reason than normal. And that's because normally rushing to get that's because normally rushing to get that's because normally rushing to get tier, even from LFR, would leave you tier, even from LFR, would leave you tier, even from LFR, would leave you stuck with, yes, tier gear, but veteran stuck with, yes, tier gear, but veteran stuck with, yes, tier gear, but veteran track gear, which isn't particularly track gear, which isn't particularly
track gear, which isn't particularly good. And then all you could do is wait good. And then all you could do is wait good. And then all you could do is wait weeks for catalyst charges to eventually weeks for catalyst charges to eventually weeks for catalyst charges to eventually turn your better drops into tier gear. turn your better drops into tier gear. turn your better drops into tier gear. But in Midnight, getting your Foret But in Midnight,
getting your Foret But in Midnight, getting your Foret gives you this achievement. And this gives you this achievement. And this gives you this achievement. And this achievement lets catalyst charges drop achievement lets catalyst charges drop achievement lets catalyst charges drop from random bosses. And that means in from random bosses. And that means in from random bosses. And that means in theory that you should never be stuck theory that you should never be stuck theory that you
should never be stuck with a tier replacement piece that you with a tier replacement piece that you with a tier replacement piece that you can't actually use because you'll be can't actually use because you'll be can't actually use because you'll be able to get more catalyst charges. This able to get more catalyst charges. This able to get more catalyst charges. This really is huge. And remember that we really is huge. And remember that we really is
huge. And remember that we start the season with one charge of the start the season with one charge of the start the season with one charge of the catalyst, which can really help you catalyst, which can really help you catalyst, which can really help you finish your first two or four set bonus finish your first two or four set bonus finish your first two or four set bonus real quick. And it's also worth knowing real quick.
And it's also worth knowing real quick. And it's also worth knowing you'll get a bonus charge of the you'll get a bonus charge of the you'll get a bonus charge of the catalyst from completing any of the catalyst from completing any of the catalyst from completing any of the Champion of Dawn requirements. But Champion of Dawn requirements. But Champion of Dawn requirements. But unless you're a PvPer or the kind of unless you're a PvPer or the
kind of unless you're a PvPer or the kind of player who really doesn't need a guide player who really doesn't need a guide player who really doesn't need a guide like this, you probably won't get that like this, you probably won't get that like this, you probably won't get that achievement anytime soon, or at least achievement anytime soon, or at least achievement anytime soon, or at least not within week one. Obviously, tier not within week one.
Obviously, tier not within week one. Obviously, tier gear can drop on any rage difficulty. gear can drop on any rage difficulty. gear can drop on any rage difficulty. I'm just calling out LFR here because I'm just calling out LFR here because I'm just calling out LFR here because you can go and do it immediately without you can go and do it immediately without you can go and do it immediately without having to wait in your guild.
If you having to wait in your guild. If you having to wait in your guild. If you want other gear, though, then go want other gear, though, then go want other gear, though, then go obviously raid normal and heroic. I obviously raid normal and heroic. I obviously raid normal and heroic. I don't have any particular tips beyond don't have any particular tips beyond don't have any particular tips beyond just taking a look at this chart of
the just taking a look at this chart of the just taking a look at this chart of the item level drops and reminding you that item level drops and reminding you that item level drops and reminding you that there are actually two raids this time. there are actually two raids this time. there are actually two raids this time. The void spire has got six bosses. Then The void spire has got six bosses. Then The void spire
has got six bosses. Then there's one boss in the dream rift. And there's one boss in the dream rift. And there's one boss in the dream rift. And on March 31st, March Unquel Das will on March 31st, March Unquel Das will on March 31st, March Unquel Das will open up with two bosses. So do as many open up with two bosses. So do as many open up with two bosses. So do as many of them as
you can weekly to get all the of them as you can weekly to get all the of them as you can weekly to get all the gear and quests that you could want. gear and quests that you could want. gear and quests that you could want. Step five, crafting. Okay, this is Step five, crafting. Okay, this is Step five, crafting. Okay, this is actually the fun bit. So, if you've made actually the fun bit. So, if
you've made actually the fun bit. So, if you've made it this far, then you're out of weekly it this far, then you're out of weekly it this far, then you're out of weekly sources of gear and you've got a whole sources of gear and you've got a whole sources of gear and you've got a whole stack of crests. And that means it's stack of crests. And that means it's stack of crests. And that means it's time
to think about crafting and time to think about crafting and time to think about crafting and upgrading. By now, you should have four upgrading. By now, you should have four upgrading. By now, you should have four crafting sparks, which will be enough to crafting sparks, which will be enough to crafting sparks, which will be enough to craft two items or a single two-handed craft two items or a single two-handed craft two items or a single two-handed
weapon. Now, during the war within, our weapon. Now, during the war within, our weapon. Now, during the war within, our crafting advice was very simple, but crafting advice was very simple, but crafting advice was very simple, but this time it is actually a bit more this time it is actually a bit more this time it is actually a bit more complicated. If you use your sparks in a complicated. If you use your sparks in a complicated.
If you use your sparks in a crafting order, then you'll get three crafting order, then you'll get three crafting order, then you'll get three options. At max quality, a spark item options. At max quality, a spark item options. At max quality, a spark item with no crests is eye level 259. If you with no crests is eye level 259. If you with no crests is eye level 259. If you add 80 hero crests, that will jump
to I add 80 hero crests, that will jump to I add 80 hero crests, that will jump to I level 272. And if you add 80 myth level 272. And if you add 80 myth level 272. And if you add 80 myth crests, that will hit I level 285. crests, that will hit I level 285. crests, that will hit I level 285. Pretty huge item level. Now, the Pretty huge item level. Now, the Pretty huge item
level. Now, the prevailing advice for mythic raiders is prevailing advice for mythic raiders is prevailing advice for mythic raiders is to do a crestless craft this week. And I to do a crestless craft this week. And I to do a crestless craft this week. And I basically do agree because you can basically do agree because you can basically do agree because you can recraft it later using your rather recraft it later using your rather recraft it
later using your rather whopping 80 myth crests to get yourself whopping 80 myth crests to get yourself whopping 80 myth crests to get yourself a highlevel mythic weapon. Now using a highlevel mythic weapon. Now using a highlevel mythic weapon. Now using hero crests immediately is actually a hero crests immediately is actually a hero crests immediately is actually a bit of a trap. If you do that, I think bit of a trap. If you do that, I
think bit of a trap. If you do that, I think you're essentially totally wasting them you're essentially totally wasting them you're essentially totally wasting them if you plan to use the myth ones later. if you plan to use the myth ones later. if you plan to use the myth ones later. And if you're worried about getting myth And if you're worried about getting myth And if you're worried about getting myth crests, just remember they come from
crests, just remember they come from crests, just remember they come from tier 11 delves once you hit four on the tier 11 delves once you hit four on the tier 11 delves once you hit four on the Delver's journey. It's a slow source, Delver's journey. It's a slow source, Delver's journey. It's a slow source, but it is a reliable one. Though, if you but it is a reliable one. Though, if you but it is a reliable
one. Though, if you want to get them quickly, then the best want to get them quickly, then the best want to get them quickly, then the best way to do that is to spam Mythic Plus 9 way to do that is to spam Mythic Plus 9 way to do that is to spam Mythic Plus 9 or higher once Mythic Plus opens. As for or higher once Mythic Plus opens. As for or higher once Mythic Plus opens.
As for what to craft, basically, it's weapons what to craft, basically, it's weapons what to craft, basically, it's weapons with the right embellishments. That's with the right embellishments. That's with the right embellishments. That's almost always the answer. And if you almost always the answer. And if you almost always the answer. And if you want to know what the right want to know what the right want to know what the right embellishments are for your particular embellishments
are for your particular embellishments are for your particular case, well, class guides have pretty case, well, class guides have pretty case, well, class guides have pretty much all done the maths for you. So, go much all done the maths for you. So, go much all done the maths for you. So, go hit up your guide of choice for your hit up your guide of choice for your hit up your guide of choice for your class and
you'll find the answers there. class and you'll find the answers there. class and you'll find the answers there. Just of course, make sure to actually Just of course, make sure to actually Just of course, make sure to actually use them. use them. use them. Step five and a half, housing. This one Step five and a half, housing. This one Step five and a half, housing. This one is out of left field, but you can get a
is out of left field, but you can get a is out of left field, but you can get a big stack of crests of your choice from big stack of crests of your choice from big stack of crests of your choice from housing by doing this extremely housing by doing this extremely housing by doing this extremely challenging quest. These count towards challenging quest. These count towards challenging quest. These count towards your cap. So, I would recommend
picking your cap. So, I would recommend picking your cap. So, I would recommend picking champion. That's just because there's a champion. That's just because there's a champion. That's just because there's a 400 cap on champion quests to start, 400 cap on champion quests to start, 400 cap on champion quests to start, while heroes only got a cap of 100. But, while heroes only got a cap of 100. But, while heroes only got a cap of 100.
But, okay, by this stage of the guide, you've okay, by this stage of the guide, you've okay, by this stage of the guide, you've done some crafting. you probably have a done some crafting. you probably have a done some crafting. you probably have a huge pile of crests. So, let's talk huge pile of crests. So, let's talk huge pile of crests. So, let's talk about what to do with them. about what to do with them. about
what to do with them. Step six, farm them, cap them, and stick Step six, farm them, cap them, and stick Step six, farm them, cap them, and stick them in your gear. It's basically just them in your gear. It's basically just them in your gear. It's basically just all about crests because by now you've all about crests because by now you've all about crests because by now you've done absolutely everything except done absolutely everything except done
absolutely everything except infinitely farm dungeons. And that means infinitely farm dungeons. And that means infinitely farm dungeons. And that means you can spend your crests. And you can spend your crests. And you can spend your crests. And thankfully, you can now do it without thankfully, you can now do it without thankfully, you can now do it without having to worry about valor stones. Now, having to worry about valor stones. Now, having to worry about valor stones.
Now, instead of a specific rigid strategy, I instead of a specific rigid strategy, I instead of a specific rigid strategy, I would say spend them on whatever you would say spend them on whatever you would say spend them on whatever you want, but following some general rules want, but following some general rules want, but following some general rules of thumb. Those basically are weapon of thumb. Those basically are weapon of thumb. Those basically are weapon first,
then chest, head, and legs, then first, then chest, head, and legs, then first, then chest, head, and legs, then shoulders, waist, hands, feet, and your shoulders, waist, hands, feet, and your shoulders, waist, hands, feet, and your good trinkets, and then your bracers and good trinkets, and then your bracers and good trinkets, and then your bracers and your jewelry last. That's the order in your jewelry last. That's the order in your jewelry last. That's the order in
which you should be upgrading your gear which you should be upgrading your gear which you should be upgrading your gear using crests. Though, there is a bit of using crests. Though, there is a bit of using crests. Though, there is a bit of a trick. You can spend lesser quests to a trick. You can spend lesser quests to a trick. You can spend lesser quests to finish an item and skip one upgrade step finish an item
and skip one upgrade step finish an item and skip one upgrade step on the next tier up. Now, that's a bunch on the next tier up. Now, that's a bunch on the next tier up. Now, that's a bunch of words, so I'll work you through an of words, so I'll work you through an of words, so I'll work you through an example. Say your champion one out of example. Say your champion one out of example. Say
your champion one out of six gear is I level 246. To get that to six gear is I level 246. To get that to six gear is I level 246. To get that to I level 250, you would need to spend 20 I level 250, you would need to spend 20 I level 250, you would need to spend 20 champions crests. But here's the thing, champions crests. But here's the thing, champions crests. But here's the thing,
veteran 6 out of six gear is I level veteran 6 out of six gear is I level veteran 6 out of six gear is I level 250. So, if you get a veteran item to 250. So, if you get a veteran item to 250. So, if you get a veteran item to ile 250 using veteran crests, then that ile 250 using veteran crests, then that ile 250 using veteran crests, then that will actually trigger a free
upgrade for will actually trigger a free upgrade for will actually trigger a free upgrade for your now lower item level champion item, your now lower item level champion item, your now lower item level champion item, meaning you can get it from 246 to 250 meaning you can get it from 246 to 250 meaning you can get it from 246 to 250 literally for free. Now, this principle literally for free. Now, this principle literally for free. Now,
this principle holds for the next steps as well, so do holds for the next steps as well, so do holds for the next steps as well, so do keep it in mind. It's not huge, but keep it in mind. It's not huge, but keep it in mind. It's not huge, but across a bunch of upgrades on all your across a bunch of upgrades on all your across a bunch of upgrades on all your gear throughout a
season, it could gear throughout a season, it could gear throughout a season, it could actually add up. Now, if you've still actually add up. Now, if you've still actually add up. Now, if you've still got crests to farm, just go do whatever got crests to farm, just go do whatever got crests to farm, just go do whatever you want. Champion crests and below can you want. Champion crests and below can you want. Champion crests and below
can be farmed in prey and delves, and then be farmed in prey and delves, and then be farmed in prey and delves, and then anything higher is basically just anything higher is basically just anything higher is basically just farmable in mythic plus if, of course, M farmable in mythic plus if, of course, M farmable in mythic plus if, of course, M plus is open when you're watching this plus is open when you're watching this plus is
open when you're watching this video. Or you could go with our most video. Or you could go with our most video. Or you could go with our most radical suggestion, and that's to go and radical suggestion, and that's to go and radical suggestion, and that's to go and do something else. Because next weekly do something else. Because next weekly do something else. Because next weekly reset will bring a bunch more gear reset will bring a bunch
more gear reset will bring a bunch more gear that's way easier than just farming out that's way easier than just farming out that's way easier than just farming out infinity dungeons to squeeze tiny little infinity dungeons to squeeze tiny little infinity dungeons to squeeze tiny little bits of progress. Just go have fun. It bits of progress. Just go have fun. It bits of progress. Just go have fun. It doesn't even have to be woow. Or if
you doesn't even have to be woow. Or if you doesn't even have to be woow. Or if you do want it to be woow, just go do an do want it to be woow, just go do an do want it to be woow, just go do an alt. Alts have literally never been alt. Alts have literally never been alt. Alts have literally never been better. There's a 50% crest discount better. There's a 50% crest discount better.
There's a 50% crest discount once your main has outgrown your alt. once your main has outgrown your alt. once your main has outgrown your alt. And because valor stones aren't a thing, And because valor stones aren't a thing, And because valor stones aren't a thing, it's actually really easy to just hop it's actually really easy to just hop it's actually really easy to just hop over to an alt and uh and start playing over to an
alt and uh and start playing over to an alt and uh and start playing and actually start getting real tangible and actually start getting real tangible and actually start getting real tangible gear upgrades. Especially since so many gear upgrades. Especially since so many gear upgrades. Especially since so many things in the game are warb bandwide. things in the game are warb bandwide. things in the game are warb bandwide. It's honestly quite huge. And if you're It's
honestly quite huge. And if you're It's honestly quite huge. And if you're thinking about an alt, well, I think thinking about an alt, well, I think thinking about an alt, well, I think stocks are currently very bullish for stocks are currently very bullish for stocks are currently very bullish for Torren right now, especially Torin Torren right now, especially Torin Torren right now, especially Torin Paladins. And if if you don't know why, Paladins. And if if you
don't know why, Paladins. And if if you don't know why, well, um, find out in this news video well, um, find out in this news video well, um, find out in this news video next.
