Enchanted Harbinger Crests are one of the best ways to get some amazing high-level gear in WoW The War Within, and there are many ways to get them.
Although you can still get great gear from Delves and Raids, don’t ignore Enchanted Harbinger Crests since they can come in handy. So, here’s our full guide to help you get free Enchanted Harbinger Crests in The War Within.
How Enchanted Harbinger Crests work in WoW The War Within
Enchanted Harbinger Crests work similarly to Enchanted Dreaming Crests in the previous expansion. As the name says, Enchanted Harbinger Crests are mostly crafted by Enchanters.
While Enchanting isn’t currently the best profession, Enchanters can use Enchanted Harbinger Crests to upgrade crafted gear. So, if one of your main professions is Enchanting, then you’re in luck, but if you’re not an Enchanter, you can always get your upgraded gear through Crafting Orders.
Like with regular Harbinger Crests, there are three different types of Enchanted Harbinger Crests that are used for different item levels:
- Enchanted Weathered Harbinger Crest – 577 to 590 item level
- Enchanted Runed Harbinger Crest – 606 to 619 item level
- Enchanted Gilded Harbinger Crest – 623 to 636 item level
How to get Enchanted Harbinger Crests in WoW The War Within
The most common way to obtain more Enchanted Harbinger Crests is through the Enchanting profession. This means you have to be an Enchanter yourself or have a friend or a guild member who specializes in that profession.
Additionally, you can always rely on the Crafting Orders in Dornogal where you can find the Crafting Orders NPC Clerk Gretal, at coordinates 58.0, 56.5.
There is one more and easy way to get a free Enchanted Runed Harbinger Crest: Through a new story-mode Raid. If you haven’t had a chance to raid the Nerub-ar Palace yet, you can do it now, even in story mode with a bunch of NPCs.
Essentially, you have to complete a small questline to get the last quest called To Kill A Queen. This quest sends you to the Nerub-ar Palace, where you only fight the last boss of the raid with NPCs. Once you defeat her, you’re rewarded with an Enchanted Runed Harbinger Crest that you can use to get an upgraded Set Item Level of 606-619.
How to craft all Enchanted Harbinger Crests in WoW The War Within
Since there are three types of Enchanted Harbinger Crests that are used for different item-level upgrades, logically they all require different materials. Whether you’re an Enchanter yourself or you use Crafting Orders, you still need to have the following materials:
Enchanted Weathered Harbinger Crest
- One Nascent Weathered Harbinger Crest
- 30 Storm Dust
- Five Gleaming Shard
Enchanted Runed Harbinger Crest
- One Nascent Runed Harbinger Crest

Enchanted Gilded Harbinger Crest

You can get most of these items by either farming or buying them at the Auction House. As for all types of Nascent Harbinger Crests, you get them by exchanging normal Harbinger Crests at Enchanting supplies vendors anywhere in Khaz Algar.
