You can't buy Valorstones with gold, tokens, or real money — there's no vendor, Auction House listing, or player trade for them. Valorstones are an earned, Warband-wide currency in The War Within, dropped by nearly every activity: dungeons, Delves, world quests, weekly quests, raids, and PvP. To upgrade gear you spend them alongside crests, so the real question is how to farm them fast — not where to buy them.
Quick facts about Valorstones
- Cannot be purchased or traded — no gold, WoW Token, or player-to-player sale exists.
- Warband-wide — shared across every character on your account, so all your alts feed the same pool.
- Used for gear upgrades — spent with crests (Weathered, Carved, Runed, Gilded) at the upgrade NPC in Dornogal.
- Capped — you can only hold a set maximum at once, so spend before you hit the ceiling or you'll waste drops.
- Earned everywhere — the more content you clear each week, the faster they pile up.
Fastest ways to farm Valorstones
- Heroic and Mythic dungeons — reliable chunks per run, plus crests to spend them on.
- Delves — solo or small-group, great Valorstone-per-minute and scalable by tier.
- World quests and weeklies — quick daily income while you're out gathering or leveling.
- Raids and rated PvP — steady returns if that's already your weekly routine.
Why can't I buy Valorstones with gold?
Blizzard designed Valorstones as a play-to-earn upgrade currency, not a tradeable good. There's deliberately no vendor that sells them and no way to mail or auction them to another player. Anything online promising a direct "Valorstone purchase" is either misinformed or a scam — the only legitimate route is playing the content that awards them.
How many Valorstones do I need to upgrade gear?
It depends on the item's track and how many ranks you're pushing. Higher-tier upgrades cost more Valorstones per rank and also demand the matching crest. Because they're capped, most players find crests — not Valorstones — become the real bottleneck, so keep clearing content that drops both together.
Do Valorstones carry over between characters?
Yes. They sit in your Warband currency, shared account-wide. Farm on your main, spend on an alt, or split the total however you like. That makes any character's dungeon or Delve run count toward your whole roster's gearing.
If you'd rather skip the grind, PewPewShop offers coaching and rent-a-pro progression help — a vetted human player can run keys and Delves alongside you, teach efficient routes, and push your gear upgrades while you learn the pace. It's skill-and-progression help by long-record players, so you spend less time farming and more time playing the content you actually enjoy.
