I know it’s going to fall on deaf ears as no devs actually read these forums. But if somehow someone does, I’d like to propose another option at the crest convertor.
You see, our crest cap is 180. Our valorstone cap is 2000. You earn 10 weathered crests per heroic dungeon, and 40-60 valorstones (10 per boss, 20 bonus for finishing dungeon/final boss, but dawnbreaker first boss has no loot.) To cap crests it takes 18 heroic dungeons. To cap valorstones it takes anywhere from 50 to 33. A nice 40 makes sense for me to use number wise though.
These costs are reflected in upgrading gear. My gear costs 15 crests to upgrade, one and a half runs of heroic dungeons, or two upgrades per three dungeons. My gear also costs 150 valorstones to upgrade, three heroic dungeon runs. It feels bad that I literally am saving up crests because I am valorstone poor.
So my proposal is to just add another conversion mechanic to the guy next to the item upgrades. Even if its just 1:1, let me convert 15 weathered crests into 15 valorstones.
Would this be a bad conversion on paper? Yeah, of course. But i am nearly capped on weathered crests (165) and meanwhile am sitting at 45 valorstones. With there being nothing else to use weathered crests on, I may as well take such a bad conversion to speed up the process.

This is the same nonsense that happened in DF. Everybody capped on crests while having zero flightstones.
Good to see nothings changed at Blizz.

Go to the enchanting vendor and buy the item that lets you craft up to 590 gear. Costs 15 crests. Way better than turning them into valorstones, especially since you can farm an unlimited number of valorstones but you can only farm so many crests.

I didn’t even know this was a thing! Thanks.
Though I’ve got basically infinite crests as is, unless there’s a weekly limit i also haven’t heard of. As a tank, my heroic dungeon queues range between 8 and 15… seconds.

It’s 30 crests for a 590 crafted item and zero flightstones, as opposed to 60 crests for 593 from upgrades (45 for 590) and flightstones.
I still spent flightstones + crests on my weapon just for that smidge extra ilvl, and I’ll spend them on my helm too since it’s the rep one and goes to 606. Other items all crafted.

Crests have a seasonal limit. It raises by 90 a week. Once you hit the cap no more will drop, even if you spend them. This does not include crests you get as a reward from things like renown. They are not unlimited like Valorstones which you can farm endlessly as long as you’re below the 2k cap
Is the item you buy to have this crafted:
And then you can craft higher ilvl gear using that
