Requirements

RequiresThe Better Part of Valorstones

Read from the quest filters in the current retail client build.

Description

Wonderful. Valorstones are capable of upgrading lower-level equipment on their own. That being said, Valorstones can only do so much. More powerful equipment will also require Ethereal Crests to upgrade to their full potential. These crests are rewarded through many different activities. Ethereal Crests have four tiers, and more dangerous tasks reward you with higher-tier crests. Bring me fifteen Weathered Ethereal Crests, and we can help you upgrade some gear further.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the quest's prerequisites.

The Better Part of ValorstonesLevel 80
It's been many months since we arrived in Dornogal and there's still more to learn of Valorstones. It turns out they can be found beyond Azeroth! This discovery opens up entirely new avenues of research. With new research comes a need for new supplies.

After this quest

Taken from a quest that requires this one.

Crest TransmutationLevel 80
My friend, these Crests are magnificent. It looks like they can be transmuted into different tiers! If you find yourself no longer in need of a lower-tier Crest, then I can transmute them to be more powerful. I can also transmute Crests into a weaker tier. Let's practice the transmutation process.
