In this segment of the video, the speaker explains the upgrade system in Val Dracken for gear. Flight stones and crests are used for upgrades, with flight stones being earned from various endgame activities and crests obtained from specific higher-tier content. There are different types of crests, each acquired from different activities or bosses. The upgrade system has catch-up mechanics based on your highest gear level for each slot. This means if you upgrade lower-level gear than your best, it will cost fewer crests and flight stones. The reduced cost carries over to alts, making it easier to upgrade multiple characters. The segment also touches on gearing options, highlighting the Last Harah weekly quest in Val Dracken as a source of upgrade materials and item level 493 gear.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the weekly Quest in Gearing Adventures, which guides players towards world content that helps gear up further. World events drop rewards, mainly item level 480 gear. Events are grouped into Dragon Isles, Zarc Caverns, and Madra’s Hill. The Awakened rotation determines the content each week, and completing the Last Harrah Quest provides higher item level rewards. World bosses tied to the Awakened rotation also drop high-level gear, up to item level 499. Players can earn caches of storms for more gear but must be careful as they are unique items. Crafted gear is another powerful option, where using the Season 4 crafting spark can boost gear up to item level 525. Splintered Sparks of Awakening are needed for crafting, obtainable from weekly quests and end-game content like Mythic plus dungeons or Awaken raid bosses.

Raid rewards in Season 4 increase in item level when awakened, with raids dropping gear ranging from item level 480 to 528 on different difficulties. Tier set tokens and the Omni token, which can be traded for a tier set piece, can be obtained from raid bosses. Kill counts in raids also contribute to filling the weekly Vault for additional rewards.

The advice is to hold on to the Mark of Mastery token to finish up the tier set bonus. The speaker encourages viewers to share their gearing strategies in the comments and thanks supporters.
