Um, an example is, I'm trying to find an example in front of me to, to read it to you as I'm talking, but, um, so if you have, so the first explorer gear, so if you're, if it says explorer, uh, and then, you know, some amount one through eight, that's only going to cost valor stones to upgrade. Um,

Um,

Adventure gear, if it's Adventure 1 through 4, it'll cost Valor Stones, but as you get to Adventure 5, 6, 7, 8, and you want to upgrade that higher, it's going to cost some amount of Valor Stones plus Harbinger Crests. And the higher the tier of gear it is, the higher the track that it's on, the higher quality or the higher level Harbinger Crests you're going to have to spend. All right.

So, long story short, like, the long and the short of it is, because that part was a lot, just know that to upgrade the gear, you're going to need some amount of Valor Stones and some amount of Harbinger Crests. Okay? You might be tempted to think... well, why would I want to upgrade this gear? Aren't I going to replace this gear later?

And you wouldn't be wrong to have that instinct because, yeah, you're earning these currencies by doing endgame content and things like running heroics. Next week you'll be running mythics, doing daily quests, and then also just quests. currencies, and then also there's a weekly cap to each of these currencies as well.

Valor stones, you can only hold up to 2,000 of them, but the crests, every week you have a weekly cap of 90 that you can earn, and then that cap gets increased by 90 every week. So there's a limited, at least at the beginning here for the first few weeks, there's sort of like a limited number of crests that you can get, and you can't earn more.

after you spend them after you earn that many it doesn't matter if you spend them all you're not going to get any more so you might you might not be you wouldn't be faulted in thinking well i need to carefully spend these maybe i need to save them for a couple of weeks until i get good gear from mythics or i get good gear from um doing doing the raids and gear that i'm going to hold on to for a while i want to upgrade that stuff but i'm here to tell you do not do that

Do not hoard your crests and wait. And the reason is this. Whenever you use these crests to upgrade your upgradable gear, once you have upgraded it, you get a discount the next time you try to upgrade that same slot. And in the case of Harbinger Crests, you will never have to spend those again to get to that same upgrade level. Now that's a little confusing. Let me try to explain it.

I like to think of the Valor Stones and the Harbinger Crests as different, as doing different things. The Valor Stones are like a currency that are upgrading the gear. The Valor Stones are the thing that are actually doing the change of changing that gear from one gear level to another. Think of it as a currency that increases the item level of your gear. That's what the Valor Stones do.

The crests I like to think of as being a currency that upgrades the gear slot that you're slotting it into. So let's say you have a helmet, you have you have a headpiece, you have a helm and you want to upgrade that. It's adventurer level one gear and you want to upgrade it all the way to level eight.

adventurer eight that's going to increase its item level from 571 all the way up to 593 and it's going to cost you a certain number of harbinger crests to do it so let's say you do that let's say you collect your harbinger crests you collect your valor stones and you get a helmet you're running heroics and a nice helmet with uh you know it's got some good secondary stats but it's you had a crappy helmet before so you just want any helmet you can get
