However, you can only use the vendor after completing the Dreaming of Crests quest. Satchel of Drake's Dreaming Crests costs 15 Wyrm's Dreaming Crests.Ĭlutch of Wyrm's Dreaming Crests costs 15 Aspect's Dreaming Crests.

When you max out all your gear slots and run out of upgrades in Season 3, you can trade crests upwards at a rate of 1:6. This is a much-welcome change from Season 2 where you got nothing when you capped your crests for the week.Įxample: If you're capped on Wyrm's crests you will instead receive Drake's crests when you haven't hit your weekly Drake's cap yet. When you hit a cap on a crest type for the week, activities will instead give you the next highest crest that you have uncapped. The maximum number of crests you can get in Season 3 is 90 per week of each type, which is about 6 upgrades per tier per week (down from 10 in Season 2). PvP gear is no longer upgraded with Honor, but uses Flightstone and crests in Season 3.Įvery upgrade in Season 3 costs 15 crests. Season 2 gear can no longer be upgraded, only if you have a few spare crests laying around in your inventory.Ĭrests are now in the currently tab rather than taking up valuable inventory space. Season 2 crests and crest fragments will become obsolete. The Mythic Gear Track has 4 upgrade ranks (up from 3 in Season 2). The Heroic Gear Track now has 6 upgrade ranks (up from 5 in Season 2).
