With the release of Season 3 in WoW Dragonflight, Flightstones remain one of the most important currencies for players to pursue. In this updated guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about getting and using Flightstones during Season 3, including the best new activities to farm them.
How Flightstones Have Evolved in Season 3
While Flightstones themselves function similarly to prior seasons, a few key things have changed in Season 3 regarding how and where to earn them:
- New zones like Valdrakken and Ohn'ahran Plains have been added, providing additional quests, mobs, and treasures to farm.
- The max ilvl of upgradeable gear has increased, requiring more Flightstones to fully upgrade pieces.
- New mythic+ affixes and higher keystone levels offer greater challenges and rewards.
- New raids such as Castle Nathria are available, with boss drops providing large Flightstone amounts.
- World bosses spawn across zones, offering epic loot and plentiful Flightstones.
So while the basics remain the same, dedicated Farmers will need to broaden their efforts across new lands and raids to optimize Flightstone acquisition this season.
Top Flightstone Farming Activities in Season 3
mythic+ Dungeons
Running mythic+ dungeons at the highest achievable keystone levels remains the most efficient way to farm Flightstones. Completing a +15 or higher each week will net 250-500 Flightstones depending on affixes and time taken. Be sure to use the premade group finder to assemble well-coordinated groups for the best results.
Castle Nathria Raid Bosses
The new Castle Nathria raid offers 10 bosses on normal/heroic difficulties each providing 50-150 Flightstones upon defeat. Finishing on mythic difficulty scales this up substantially, with Sylvanas herself dropping 400 Flightstones. Prioritize full-clears each week for optimal raiding rewards.
Zone Questing
While less rewarding than endgame dungeons/raids, plowing through new zone questlines provides a steady stream of Flightstones. Daily quest hubs in Valdrakken and Ohn'ahran Plains offer 10-30 Flightstones each, building up over time. Be sure to unlock all available quest givers.
Zone Events
Public events like Dreamsurges and Fyrakk assaults now take place across multiple new zones. Participating is easier than ever with increased population levels. Completing the bonus objective often nets 150+ Flightstones as well as epic vendor loot.
Rare Elite Mob Kills
Dotted throughout outdoor areas, elites and rares provide 25-50 Flightstones on defeat alongside useful crafting materials. Use group finder to efficiently assist in their takedowns for maximized rewards.
Additional Flightstone Sources
While not as abundant, the following secondary activities still award Flightstones on various timetables:
- Weekly quests in all zones (50-150 Flightstones)
- World boss loot (150-300 Flightstones)
- Invasion points (25-100 Flightstones)
- Treasure chests (10-50 Flightstones)
- Auction house trading (expensive option)
Through diversified regular farming across these many new and improved sources, dedicated players can easily amass 5,000+ Flightstones each week for extensive gear upgrading in Season 3.
Maximizing Flightstone Efficiency
To get the most out of your time invested, consider these Flightstone optimization tips:
- Prioritize mythic+ and raid clears above all else.
- Complete daily quest hubs in all unlocked zones.
- Specialize gear upgrade paths on weapons and trinkets.
- Move in coordinated raid/dungeon groups when possible.
- Tag elite mob kills while doing other activities.
- Avoid wasteful crafted gear or accessory upgrades.
By focusing efforts into the most rewarding content and minimizing less profitable activities, top-tier Flightstone Farmers will stay consistently cutting-edge as Season 3 progresses.
With new zones, raids, and events added throughout WoW Dragonflight Season 3, Flightstones continue playing a vital role in character advancement. Through diversified and optimized farming across this wide variety of updated content sources, dedicated players can readily amass thousands of Flightstones each week for extensive gear upgrades.
