And the Valor Stones, the next time you try to upgrade it, it will be much discounted. It'll be a lot cheaper and easier to upgrade the second piece of gear. And if you're running lots of content, at the beginning here, it's going to be challenging. You'll be spending a lot of Valor Stones.

But as you move on, as you get higher up in level and you're doing lots of content or higher up in gear level, you're going to find eventually that you're going to stay Valor Stone capped. Um, at least if you're doing consistently doing lots of content, some people have a little bit more trouble because they're, they're not playing as often, which is a thing. Sure.

And so maybe you want to be a little bit careful, but don't worry about those crests, those crests on each gear piece, each gear slot that you spend those harbinger crests on. You'll never have to spend those crests again to get gear to that same level. Um, There's more to be said about item upgrading and how it works and the different tracks.

try to save those crests do not worry about it just get your item level up right now that's really the focus right now don't even worry about it get your item level up and the reason because you want your item level to be up if you're trying to do higher level gear like mythic zeros next week or even to get into normal raids the reason is because um maybe There's a couple of reasons.

First, the secondary stats are important to fine-tune your gear later. But at the beginning, every item level increase equates to your primary stat increasing and your stamina increasing, which means you'll have more health. So you'll be able to stay alive longer and you'll be able to get more of your primary stat, whether that's strength or agility or something like that.

All of that always increases with item level regardless. So that's why they say get your item level up. Item level is more important than anything else. Secondary stats can be tweaked later as you find better side upgrades. The other reason to go ahead and start upgrading your gear and getting your item level as high as you can...

is because there are certain things like, like, like world crest, when you do world quests, and item gear drop, drop from world quests, the, the, the item level of the gear that drops from world quests for you is going to be determined by your current item level. So you'll eventually hit breakpoints, like you might be seeing item level 560 gear dropping from world quests.

And then eventually you'll hit a certain average item level on your character that will unlock a breakpoint where now item level 568 items are going to start dropping from world quests. And the only way to hit those breakpoints and unlock, so to speak, the higher item level gear dropping... on world quests is by increasing your average item level.

So in the beginning here, at least for the first few weeks, as you're trying to get into raid and dungeon content, mythics and raids, what you got to do is get your item level up and don't hesitate.
