How to Obtain Nascent Runed Harbinger Crests in WoW: The War Within

Crafting higher level gear in WoW: The War Within requires certain enchanted items, one of the ingredients for which are Nascent Runed Harbinger Crests. Here’s how to obtain them and what to use them for.

How to get Nascent Runed Harbinger Crests in WoW: The War Within

Before you can look at getting a Nascent Crest, you’ll need to gather 45 normal Runed Harbinger Crests. Crests in WoW: The War Within are essentially a series of currencies earned from various content at different difficulties. Runed Harbinger Crests are currently the 3rd tier and are earned from content like the Heroic difficulty of the Nerub-ar Palace Raid or Mythic Keystone Dungeons of levels +4 to +8.

Once you’ve gathered enough Crests, you simply need to find the Enchanting Supplies NPC called Llande in Dornogal to exchange those 45 crests for a Nascent Runed Harbinger Crest. Llande is located right next to the Enchanting trainer and station in the southern Forgegrounds, and if you need to exchange some of your crests for a different tier you can do so at Vaskarn just north of the bank, next to the item upgrade NPC. You can find a map of Llande’s and Vaskarn’s locations below:

What are Nascent Runed Harbinger Crests Used for in WoW: The War Within?

As mentioned before, Nascent Runed Harbinger Crests are used as part of crafting higher level equipment in WoW: The War Within, specifically item level 606-619 gear. But first you’ll need them made into Enchanted Runed Harbinger Crests. You’ll need to either have the Enchanting Profession learned and levelled up with the recipe known (it drops from a variety of content from the expansion), or find someone else who can do it for you. The Crafting Order system makes this easier, as all you need to do is put up the reagents and provide a commission and other players will be able to see and fulfill your order. You can then use the Enchanted crest as a reagent when crafting the piece of gear that you want (or as part of another Crafting Order!).
