Farming Crests as of 11.0.7
As of next week:
• More crests drop from M+ inc untimed
• Cost of crafting crests goes from 90 to 60
• Cost of upgrade bags goes from 90 to 45
This means that currently 216 weathered makes 1 gilded, and with the cap (that was just removed) this was not an effective way to farm gilded crests.
However with the removal of the cap, and the better exchange rate (27 weathered makes 1 gilded, and 9 for runed-gilded and 3 for carved-gilded), which means farming gilded crests through other crests will be a very lucrative option.
So what will be the best way to farm them?
• LFR/Normal/HC raid?
• Flying around collecting orbs
• Mythic+?
• Some other source that now comes very efficient?
Oh and as a reminder **DO NOT TRADE IN CRESTS THIS WEEK, WAIT UNTIL IMPROVEMENTS NEXT REST**.

Second Edit : some people are calling me a liar for getting 20 weathered / minute from orb collecting. Just turn WM on, fly around for 10 minutes and you'll find the good places, then come back here and tell me you weren't getting 20/min. What is wrong with people insisting on an internet stranger providing advice as "this must be a lie" without even trying it.
