Hey there, World of Warcraft fans. I wanted to get on here real quick and give a public service announcement, and that public service announcement is... Do not wait to upgrade your items in The War Within. Start upgrading them now. Go ahead and upgrade your gear with Valor Stones and Harbinger Crests. Don't wait. Don't hoard them. Upgrade them now. Okay, what am I talking about and how can I justify what I'm saying? Okay, so for those of you who do not know, as you do content in the War Within, as you do content in World of Warcraft at the end game, you will collect a currency called Valor Stones. And you will also, towards the end, collect an additional currency called Harbinger Crests. Now, they'll be named different things because there's four different types of Harbinger Crests. We've got gilded harbinger crests, runed harbinger crests, stuff like that. I think there are four different kinds. I just can't remember the names of all of them. What are they? Weathered, carved, runed, and gilded harbinger crests. Now, these items are used to upgrade your gear.

um, as you, there's a, there are, there are NPCs in the main city, um, Dornigal, and they upgrade your gear with their, it's called Kzalth and Vaskarn. They're, Kuzalth is in the crafting section near the auction house, and they do item upgrades. And next to Kuzalth is Vaskarn. They are Drakthir, and Vaskarn does Crest Exchanges. um anyway you can talk to kazalth to upgrade your items what that means is you're going to start to see that you're going to notice you're going to start noticing that you get items that have um have an upgrade track on them it'll say explorer one out of eight or adventurer two slash eight and those are because those pieces of gear belong to an upgrade track now Anybody who played through Dragonflight and was upgrading gear, you're familiar with this system.
Bobby Frankenberger 2:32
It's the same system, but this is a public service announcement here for people who maybe didn't experience this in Dragonflight, maybe never understood how it worked in Dragonflight if they did see it, or who are coming back to World of Warcraft or playing for the first time and have no idea what this is. system is all about now you're going to know what it's about and now you're going to know how it works now what you do is you go to these vent these uh kazalth in dornigal and you say hey i want to upgrade some gear you got so he has a little window that pops up and you drop your piece of gear that that has a explorer or adventurer eventually veteran and champion and hero and myth all these high level higher level

Upgrade tracks. You'll drop one of those pieces of gear into the window where the little green plus sign is. And then there will be a drop-down window that says different amounts that you can upgrade. And the currency for upgrading that gear is some amount of valor stones if it's a lower level piece of gear. Or as it gets higher up in gear, you will also have to spend not just valor stones, but you will need to spend... um, you'll need to spend these harbinger crests as well. 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,
Bobby Frankenberger 4:11
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?
