In this part of the video, Lazy Beast provides a detailed guide on gearing up in Dragonflight Season Two under patch 10.1, focusing on the new gear upgrade system. He explains that the highest item level gear in this patch will primarily come from Mythic raids, with certain rare bosses dropping items at slightly higher levels. For example, a cape from Mythic difficulty’s final boss, Commander Sakareth, drops at item level 457. He also outlines the item level ranges for gear from different raid difficulties: Mythic (441-450), Heroic (408-444), and Normal (424-431), and mentions that gear from Normal raids can be upgraded to remain relevant as players progress.
He then touches upon adjustments in the great Vault system, noting that the number of required boss kills for unlocking raid slot sections has increased due to more bosses being present in the new raid tier. Additionally, players can now receive loot from all previous bosses in their Vault, even if they only kill the last boss on a particular difficulty.
Finally, Lazy Beast mentions new tier sets and bonuses for all classes and elaborates that items from the Vault, rated PvP, and Mythic Plus can include tier pieces. He promises to dive deeper into how the new upgrade system works for gear obtained from various in-game sources.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains changes to the gear upgrade system, focusing on the introduction of two new currencies: flight stones and crests. Flight stones are simple to obtain from any game activity and have a cap of 2,000 that can be held at one time, but can be spent and re-earned without a time limit. Crests are more complex, coming in four types corresponding to gear levels and required in addition to flight stones for gear upgrades. The crests needed for upgrades depend on the current item level and desired tier. Crests are initially capped at 10 per type per week, although this cap will increase over time. The system provides clear guidance on what is needed for upgrades and where to obtain the necessary crests.
