Week 2 Preparation Guide: Maximizing Gear Progression, Crests & Sparks
Week 2 offers another excellent window to upgrade your gear, cap essential resources, and gather crafting materials like Sparks. Follow this structured checklist to hit every key reward efficiently and stay ahead in progression.
1. Pinnacle Caches via Outdoor Activities
There are 7 Pinnacle Caches available this week. Each one grants:
100 Voidlight Marl
Renown with the event faction
20 Adventurer Crests
The first two caches also reward one Adventurer Gear item each.
Complete these zone activities:
Harandar – Legends of Haranir
Voidstorm – Stormarion Assault
Zul’Aman – Abundance
Eversong – Saltheril’s Soiree
Special Assignment – Tied to World Quests
Silvermoon – Weekly Aiding (this one also gives a Spark – see section below)
Priority tip: Knock out at least the first two activities early for the free Adventurer Gear upgrades.
2. Spark Quests
If you didn’t finish these last week, complete them now:
All Spark Quests tied to the weekly activities.
The Weekly Aiding Quest in Silvermoon (this specifically rewards a Spark, which is required for crafting).
3. Prey Hunts
Four quests are available in both Normal and Hard modes this week. These are among the best sources for direct gear upgrades and crests.
Normal Mode Prey (4 quests):
First 2 quests: Adventurer Gear + 15 Adventurer Crests + 120 Voidlight Marl
Last 2 quests: 15 Adventurer Crests + 120 Voidlight Marl
Hard Mode Prey (4 quests):
First 2 quests: Veteran Gear + 15 Veteran Crests + 120 Voidlight Marl
Last 2 quests: 15 Veteran Crests + 120 Voidlight Marl
Recommended order:
Complete 2 Normal Prey hunts (for Adventurer Gear if you still need pieces).
Complete 2 Hard Mode Prey hunts (for Veteran Gear).
Complete 2 more Hard Mode Prey hunts (purely for Veteran Crests).
4. Random Prey Hunts for Veteran Crests
Once you reach Rank 2 in the Prey system, you unlock random hunts. Each gives a choice of:
15 Veteran Crests
150 Voidlight Marl
Prey Currency
Gold
Pro tip: Always select the Veteran Crests to help cap your weekly limit faster.
5. Renown Farming for Champion Gear
If you haven’t finished this from last week:
Farm Renown with each of the four factions to unlock the Champion Gear rewards at each milestone.
6. Mythic Dungeons for Veteran Gear
Eight Mythic 0 dungeons are available again this week. Run all 8 Mythic 0 dungeons — each boss has a chance to drop Veteran Gear.
7. Gear Fillers & Crest Capping
If any slots are still below Adventurer or Veteran level after the above activities:
Run Heroic Dungeons
Kill Rares
Complete Delves
These are quick and reliable sources of Adventurer Gear to fill gaps.
Final mandatory step: Cap your Adventurer Crests before the week ends.
Complete this list in any order that fits your playstyle, but prioritize the Pinnacle Caches and Prey hunts early for the biggest immediate upgrades. Following this guide will leave you fully geared, crested, and ready for the rest of the week! If anything changes with hotfixes or new info drops, double-check in-game, but this covers every reward listed for Week 2. Happy hunting!
