Crafting Endgame Items with Nascent and Enchanted Crests in Season 3
Dragonflight Season Three begins today, and as players begin to tackle the new Mythic+ dungeon rotation and Amirdrassil raid, many will be looking to craft endgame gear. With the changes to the upgrade system turning crests into currency however, there are also a few changes to crafting reagents you may need to be aware of.
Dreaming Crests are the new rank of currency and crafted material in Season 3.
Like Season 2, each piece of crafted gear requires an Enchanted Crest made by Enchanters through the work order system, however because your own crests are now a currency which cannot be transferred to other players, there's now a Nascent Crest reagent needed to craft each level of enchanted crest. While this may sound more complicated, it's quite simple in practice and the Nascent Crests are simply sold by vendors in Valdrakken and other Dragonflight zones.
For example, crafting the highest level level Enchanted Aspect's Dreaming Crest requires five reagents:
- Chromatic Dust, Vibrant Shard, Resonant Crystal, and Dracothyst can all be bought and sold on the auction house.
- Nascent Aspect's Dreaming Crest can be purchased from the Valdrakken Enchanting vendor Andoris for 60 of your own Aspect's Dreaming Crest currency.
From there, it works exactly like crafting in Season 2. Tag your favorite enchanter and open a work order for a Enchanted Aspect's Dreaming Crest, then combine the resulting Enchanted Aspect's Dreaming Crest to craft your desired piece of gear or create a work order to have it made for you!
Predictably, each of the three levels of Enchanted Crest have a similarly associated Nascent Crest, all purchased from the same Enchanting Supplies vendor.
