TheWoWDBWhy doesn't the quest tell you to just get 40 crests? You have to upgrade your gear twice.

If your quest doesn't complete, try upgrading a blue item (usually starting at ilvl 220) with Adventurer Dawncrest twice.
The Champion Dawncrest used for better gear will NOT count towards this quest.
I upgraded twice and it didnt complete the quest.

Description
Using what I've learned from Silvermoon's artisans, Cuzolth and I can infuse your gear with additional power! Powerful equipment requires Dawncrests to upgrade it to its full potential. These crests are rewarded through many different activities. Dawncrests have five tiers, and more dangerous tasks reward you with higher-tier crests. Adventurer Dawncrests are the lowest tier, but still quite powerful! Bring me thirty Adventurer Dawncrests and we can help you upgrade your 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.
- Adventuring Gear
<name>, you're just in time! I was exchanging research notes with the artisans here in Silvermoon all day. Did you know they can infuse weapons and armor with the power of the dawn itself? Fascinating! I've been itching to put some of these new techniques to the test.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Crest Transmutation
Did you know that crests can be transmuted into different tiers? If you find yourself with crests that are too powerful for the gear you've acquired, I can help you transmute those crests into lower tiers that you can use.
