How to Farm Crests Efficiently in Midnight (2026 Guide)

Mythic Store / Blog / How to Farm Crests Efficiently in Midnight (2026 Guide) March 31st, 2026 By Luna

If you’re stuck upgrading your gear in World of Warcraft: Midnight, you’re probably missing one thing — Crests.

These are the core upgrade currency in Midnight, and if you don’t farm them efficiently, your gear progression slows down hard.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

  • how Crests work
  • where to farm them fastest
  • and how to avoid wasting them

TL;DR — Crest Farming Strategy

  • Run content that matches your gear tier
  • Focus on Mythic+ for consistent Crest income
  • Do Delves + Prey for easy weekly Crests
  • Always combine Crest farming with Great Vault progress
  • Don’t waste Crests on bad items

How Crests Work in Midnight

Crests replaced older upgrade systems and are now tied directly to content difficulty.

Each gear tier has its own Crest type:

Gear TierCrest TypeSource
AdventurerLow-tier CrestsWorld content
VeteranMid-tier CrestsDelves, low Mythic
ChampionHigh-tier CrestsMythic+, raids
Hero / MythEndgame CrestsHigh Mythic+, Heroic/Mythic raids

? Simple rule:
You get Crests from the same content that drops your gear


Best Ways to Farm Crests Fast

1. Mythic+ Dungeons (Best Overall)

This is your main Crest farm.

Why it’s the best:

  • Repeatable (no weekly lockout)
  • Scales with difficulty
  • Gives highest Crest per hour

Strategy:

  • Spam keys you can clear fast (not barely survive)
  • Target +6 to +10 range for best efficiency
  • Combine with Great Vault progress

Speed > difficulty


2. Delves (Best Solo Method)

Delves are insanely good for casual Crest farming.

Focus on:

  • Bountiful Delves
  • Tier 5–8+ runs
  • Opening Bountiful Coffers

Why:

  • Fast runs (10–15 min)
  • Easy scaling
  • Counts for Great Vault (World row)

Perfect if you don’t want to rely on groups


3. Prey Hunts (Easy Weekly Boost)

Prey is low-effort, high-value.

What you get:

  • Crests
  • Gear
  • Vault progress

Best approach:

  • Do 4–8 per week
  • Combine with Delves

Think of it as “free progression”


4. Raids (Weekly Crest Source)

Raids are not farmable like Mythic+, but still important.

Why run raids:

  • High-tier Crests
  • Tier set pieces
  • Vault rewards

Do at least Normal or Heroic weekly


Fastest Crest Farming Route (Optimal Routine)

If you want maximum efficiency:

Daily:

  • 1–2 Mythic+ runs
  • 1–2 Delves

Weekly:

  • 4–8 Prey Hunts
  • 1 Raid clear
  • Fill Great Vault (at least 4–6 slots)

This gives constant Crest income + upgrades


Common Crest Farming Mistakes

Farming content too hard

If runs are slow → you lose efficiency

Farm what you can clear fast


Upgrading bad gear

Don’t waste Crests on:

  • temporary items
  • wrong stats
  • low-impact slots

Ignoring Vault

Vault = free higher-tier gear

Always fill it


Pro Tips (Big Value)

  • Upgrade weapons & trinkets first
  • Save high-tier Crests for BiS items
  • Mix PvE sources (don’t rely on one activity)
  • Use Delves early → Mythic+ later

Final Thoughts

Crest farming in Midnight is actually simple:

Do repeatable content
Don’t overpush difficulty
Focus on efficiency

If you follow that, you’ll gear up way faster than most players.
