I’m kind of angry right now for opening a weekly box and wasting 900 valorstones because i was capped. I have all my heroic gear upgraded to 580, even the junk in my bags that i “might” use. I’m saving crests to upgrade better gear. I have 40 Lamplighter Supply Satchels, multiple renown rewards that i cant turn in and several items that grant 100 valor stones. Its getting ridiculous. Am i just not supposed to open my weekly reward chests til next week?!
If you upgrade a weapon to 593 now, and get a new weapon with better stats later you don’t need crests to upgrade it to 593. Therefor it logically follows that you might as well spend those weathered crests that aren’t going to be useful as soon as season 1 hits and you start getting gear from raid that doesn’t use them to upgrade.
Sometimes it’s better to examine why a guide might say not to do something rather than just mindlessly following it.
can anyone conform that? I don’t want to waste crests upgrading the heroic gear the week when next week the ilevel will go up.
new xpac, same system. You just spend stones and no crests.
incidentally, if you’re using dual 1h or 1h/oh it’s better to upgrade a 2h first to save on crests due to the way weapon upgrading is calculated. also worth noting is that while the crest discount is character-specific, the stone upgrade discount is account wide.
