Gear upgrade system (pawb.social)

Ok let me begin by saying I'm an extreme casual. I only get to play 1-2 hours maybe 4-5 days a week. Because of my limited time I don't do any modern expansion dungeons or raids.

I heard about this gear upgrade system. I see where everyone is talking about upgrading veteran and above, but I don't see any information on upgrading adventure. Does anyone have any good info on where I can get that level of gear and what I need to do to upgrade it?

Explorer (the lowest level) and adventurer (the next lowest level) gear can come from world quests, rares, and other outdoor activities. These same activities can give you whelping and drake crest fragments, which you can then turn into the associated crests to use to upgrade your gear. You'll also need flightstones, which are earned by doing just above anything (including the activities that reward the gear).

Wowhead has an item upgrade article that goes into more detail, but my strategy boils down to world quests and rares in Zaralek Cavern, the Researchers Under Fire event once a week, the Fyrakk assault event once a week, and Soridormi's time rift events as often as I can catch them. The events in particular will award veteran (and sometimes champion) level gear, and as long as I head to the upgrade vendor whenever I'm capped on flightstones, I can get characters outfitted in upgraded veteran gear - with some champion pieces mixed in - without too much trouble.
