Season 3 of Dragonflight is here, offering new challenges for World of Warcraft players. As you take on the latest Mythic+ dungeons and the new Amirdrassil raid, gearing up for the endgame becomes a top priority. However, with changes to the upgrade system turning crests into currency, it's important to understand the new crafting materials.

New Currency: Dreaming Crests
In Season 3, Dreaming Crests are the main currency and crafting material. Like Season 2, crafting the best gear involves Enchanted Crests made by Enchanters through the work order system. The twist this season is the addition of Nascent Crests, a new material needed for crafting each level of Enchanted Crest.

Getting Nascent Crests:
Nascent Crests might sound complicated, but it's pretty simple. These crucial materials can be bought from vendors in Valdrakken and other Dragonflight zones. For example, to craft the highest level Enchanted Aspect's Dreaming Crest, you'll need Nascent Crests from the Valdrakken Enchanting vendor Andoris (30.7 60.9), and it'll cost you 60 Aspect's Dreaming Crest currency.

Crafting Process:
Crafting with Nascent and Enchanted Crests is fairly simple. To craft a specific piece of gear, tag your preferred enchanter and open a work order for an Enchanted Aspect's Dreaming Crest. Combine the resulting Enchanted Crest to craft your desired endgame item or choose to place a work order for someone else to make it.
