Flightstones

Flightstones are used alongside Crests to upgrade Dragonflight Season 3 gear of all types. Flightstones come from looting outdoor treasures, world quests, weekly events, dungeons, raids, and PvP.

Collect 2,000 to earn the Stones Can't Fly! achievement.

There are six gear upgrade tracks in Season 3:

Veteran-track gear can also rarely come from open-world content: typically Fyrakk Assaults and weekly wrapper quests (like A Worthy Ally: Loamm Niffen and Fighting is Its Own Reward). The Zaqali Elders world boss will drop gear on the Champion track. The end-of-run chest in Mythic+ will drop gear at the specified track. Completing Mythic+ keys will also add loot to the weekly Great Vault. Complete enough keys of the specified level to be able to select loot on that upgrade track.

Upgradeable gear will only ever be created in the rank 1–4 band of an upgrade track. So, an item level 437 piece that drops will always be Adventurer 4/8, never Explorer 8/8.

Flightstones have no weekly cap, so they can be ground out indefinitely up to the overall holding cap.

To upgrade to the listed item level from one row above, the Flightstone and Crest cost in the higher item level row must be paid. For example, to upgrade from Champion 1 (454) to Champion 2 (457), the cost is 145 Flightstones and 15x Drake's Dreaming Crest. Upgrades are cumulative, so to upgrade from Champion 1 to Champion 8 would cost 1,115 Flightstones, 45x Drake's Dreaming Crest, and 60x Wyrm's Dreaming Crest.

Should players attempt to upgrade a lower item level piece in a slot that they already have a higher item level in, no Crests will be required. For example, players who have looted or upgraded to an item level 463 helm will see helms of all lower item levels cost no crests and 50% of the Flightstones. The Flightstone discount (but not the Crest discount) is account-wide. For rings, trinkets, and one-handed weapons, since two of each can be equipped, the lower item level piece determines the discount limit.

Players can acquire 90 crests of each type per week in Season 3, which is enough to afford six upgrades of each crest type per week (was 10 upgrades worth in Season 2). If players have hit their weekly cap of the specified crest type, the game will award crests of the next lower crest type. The holding cap increases by 90 each week.

Crest sources are not chance-based. That is — if players complete a task they will receive the crests deterministically.

Enchanters can use crests to craft an Enchanted Dreaming Crest, which is used to set the item level range of crafted gear. Said crafted gear will then be upgraded using Recrafting, not Flightstones.

Once a player has purchased or equipped all possible upgrades with a type of crest, they can visit Vaskarn in Amirdrassil to exchange those crests for higher level crests. That upgrade is tied to achievements, requiring a specified item level in each slot:

• Dreaming of Drakes (450)
• Dreaming of Wyrms (463)
• Dreaming of the Aspects (476)

In Dragonflight Season 3, crest and crest fragment items were removed, and crests were converted to currencies to save some inventory space. The same four classifications were used as in season 2, and the crest currency dropped at the same rate as crest fragments did.

• Whelpling's Dreaming Crest (ilvl 441–450)
• Acquired from the open world, small treasures, (non-elite) rares
• Amirdrassil raid finder (10 per boss, wing bosses drop 15)
• Mythic+ 2–5 (5 for completing a key, 12 if on time)
• Drake's Dreaming Crest (ilvl 454–463)
• Open world rare elites, weekly quests, Fyrakk Assaults, Paragon bags
• Amirdrassil normal (10 per boss, wing bosses drop 15)
• Mythic+ 6–10 (5 for completing a key, 12 if on time)
• Wyrm's Dreaming Crest (ilvl 467–476)
• Amirdrassil heroic (10 per boss, wing bosses drop 15)
• Mythic+ 11–15 (5 for completing a key, 12 if on time)
• Aspect's Dreaming Crest (ilvl 480–489)
• Amirdrassil mythic (10 per boss, wing bosses drop 15)
• Mythic+ 16+ (5 for completing a key, 12 if on time)

• Mythic+ 11–15 (5 fragments for completing a key, 12 if on time)
• Aspect's Shadowflame Crest (ilvl 441–447)
• Aberrus mythic (10 per boss, wing bosses drop 15)
• Mythic+ 16+ (5 fragments for completing a key, 12 if on time)
