Radiant Jewelbinder 6 Thalassian Token of Merit Socket

Crafting

Sparks and Dawncrests continue to be used in Midnight Season 1 to craft and recraft gear. Unlike in past seasons, 2-4x  [Spark of Radiance] are used directly instead of having to combine fractured sparks. Players can still only obtain one spark (vs one spark fragment) each week. Additionally, there are no enchanted crests, as regular crests are used directly. Crests are capped at 100 per week per type.

To craft at specified upgrade tracks, the following resources are required:

The item levels at all possible crafting qualities are shown below, colored to match the standard upgrade track item level.

Crafted item levels
Quality Adventurer Veteran Spark Hero Myth
Tier 1 220 A1 233 V1 246 C1 259 H1 272 M1
Tier 2 224 A2 237 V2 250 C2 263 H2 276 M2
Tier 3 227 A3 240 V3 253 C3 266 H3 279 M3
Tier 4 230 A4 243 V4 256 C4 269 H4 282 M4
Tier 5 233 A5 246 V5 259 C5 272 H5 285 M5

Item upgrade tracks

The universal upgrade system continues. In contrast to past expansions, there is no [Flightstones] or [Valorstones] equivalent in Midnight, just crests. Trade Dawncrests to upgrade gear from all PvE sources outside of crafting by speaking with Cuzolth and Vaskarn at ... in Silvermoon.

Normal dungeons and non-bountiful delves drop ilvl 217 gear that is not on the upgrade track. Timewalking dungeons drop adventurer gear. Loot from bountiful delves requires a [Restored Coffer Key] from world content. After earning the associated feat of strength by having all equipment slots above the item level required for that crest, players can trade crests up in a 3-to-1 ratio to the next higher crest. For example, 30 Veteran crests turn in to 10 Champion crests once all equipped items are at least ilvl 250 (Veteran 6/Champion 2).

Reaching the maximum upgrade track of Veteran or higher gear will convert it to the next track's appearance. Items in a track will only ever use that type of crests to upgrade gear. Upgrade costs are non-cumulative, so it will take 150 crests to upgrade from 1/6 to 6/6. There is a cap of 100 crests per type per week.
