What are Resonance Crystals used for?
Resonance Crystals are a key currency in Khaz Algar and reminiscent of the Dragon Isles Supplies. They drop from almost everything and can be used to buy a wide range of items, including mounts like Smoldering Cinderbee or Shackled Shadow, pets, cosmetics, toys, and recipes. Plus, early Veteran gear (Renown 6-8) like the Noncandescent Smithing Hood costs 2,600 Resonance Crystals, with prices for later Champion one (Renown 16-19) rising to 3,900.
You can earn Resonance Crystals in all three new zones: the Isle of Dorn, the Ringing Deeps, and Hallowfall. Since these Crystals are transferable within your Warband, you can collect them with your alts and send them to your main character to save up for those expensive rewards. As you can see, this currency is precious, so it’s worth knowing where and how you can get it in The War Within.
Where to spend Resonance Crystals
You can spend Resonance Crystals at the following vendors scattered all over Khaz Algar:
- Auditor Balwurz: Dornogal at [39.1, 24.2]
- Waxmonger Squick: The Ringing Deeps at [47.3, 32.9]
- Auralia Steelstrike: Hallowfall at [42.35, 55] or [41.2, 53]
How to farm Resonance Crystals in The War Within
Below, we’ve compiled a diverse array of methods to farm Resonance Crystals in The War Within. Once new methods appear, we’ll continuously update this article.
Skyriding Races
In Khaz Algar, there are 4 locations, each with 6 races. You can partake in each race on three different courses: Normal, Reverse, and Advanced. You can earn Bronze, Silver, or Gold rewards for each race.
The first time you earn a Gold reward on any difficulty, you’ll receive 95x Resonance Crystals. If you complete all races on all difficulties, you can gather 6,840x Resonance Crystals.
Additionally, Resonance Crystals can be shared within your Warband, allowing you to complete the race with multiple alts and then transfer everything to your main character to purchase the necessary items or rewards. Here are the coordinates for your convenience:

Delves
Delves are a great way to gather this currency. As you progress and reach specific milestones, you’ll earn different rewards, including a chance at 5,000x Resonance Crystals.
Once you complete a Delve, you’ll receive Expeditory Spoils based on your tier — the higher the tier, the better the rewards, including more Resonance Crystals and experience. As you explore Delves, you’ll also come across treasure chests that frequently contain Resonance Crystals, so careful exploration is worthwhile.
Also worth noting is that completing Delves earns you a currency called Undercoins. These can be used to buy items like the Delver’s Pouch of Resonance Crystals, which costs 2,000 Undercoins and gives you 250x Resonance Crystals. If you don’t need Undercoins for other purposes, trade them for Resonance Crystals with Sir Finley Mrrgglton at the Delver’s Headquarters in Dornogal, located at [47.6, 43.6].
One-time Renown rewards
You can earn a significant amount of Resonance Crystals by progressing through specific Renown levels with three factions in The War Within: the Council of Dornogal, the Assembly of the Deeps, and the Hallowfall Arathi. As you advance in reputation with these factions, you’ll unlock the following rewards:
- The Assembly of the Deeps. Speak with Waxmonger Squick in Gundargaz to reclaim the rewards:
- Level 6: Pouch of Resonance Crystals
- Level 8: Singed Resonance Crystal Pouch
- Level 10: Handful of Humming Shinies
- Level 12: Singed Resonance Crystal Satchel
- Level 14: Satchel of Resonance Crystals
- Level 18: Resonance Crystals
- Level 20: Resonance Crystals
- Level 22: Resonance Crystals
- Level 24: Big Pile of Humming Shinies
- Hallowfall Arathi. Find Auralia Steelstrike in Hallowfall to acquire the rewards:
- Level 4: Pouch of Resonance Crystals
- Level 8: Resonance Crystals
- Level 12: Satchel of Resonance Crystals
- level 16: Satchel of Resonance Crystals
- Level 19: Trove of Resonance Crystals
- Level 23: Trove of Resonance Crystals
- The Council of Darnogal. Interact with Auditor Balwurz to obtain these rewards:
- Level 3: Pouch of Resonance Crystals
- Level 5: Pouch of Resonance Crystals
- Level 8: Pouch of Resonance Crystals
- Level 12: Satchel of Resonance Crystals
- Level 17: Satchel of Resonance Crystals
- Level 18: Trove of Resonance Crystals
- Level 20: Trove of Resonance Crystals
- Level 24: Trove of Resonance Crystals
These rewards are shared across all characters in your Warband and your account, so you can’t repeatedly earn them by leveling alts. However, it’s still a valuable way to gather currency while building reputation with these factions.
Paragon Chests
Once you fully max out your reputation bar with the Council of Dornogal, the Assembly of the Deeps, and the Hallowfall Arathi factions, you’ll receive special Paragon Chests:
Each Trove can hold over 1,000x Resonance Crystals. As you build your reputation, you’ll earn a new Paragon Chest every time you complete the bar, making this an excellent way to collect more of this valuable currency.
Completing quests
You can earn Resonance Crystals by completing certain main and side quests in faction-specific zones. This applies not just to your main character but also to your alternate characters. While your alts won’t gain extra reputation, they can still collect Resonance Crystals from these quests.
Additionally, you can gather more Resonance Crystals by completing daily and world quests in the Isle of Dorn, Ringing Deeps, and Hallowfall. Most of these quests reward you with Crystals, so doing them regularly will help you quickly accumulate more currency in no time.
Worldsoul quests
Each week, you can take on the Worldsoul quest, which only needs to be completed by one of your characters. Completing it rewards you with an Algari Adventurer’s Cache containing gold, gear, 900x Resonance Crystals, and other currencies.
The best part is you get to choose how to complete the quest each week. For example, you can do a world quest, try Snuffing, or partake in the Awakening the Machine event. Each option gives you Resonance Crystals and other valuable items, offering another way to collect this vital currency.
Defeating rares
Defeating rares in the Ringing Deeps, Hallowfall, and the Isle of Dorn is another good option to earn some Resonance Crystals while exploring Khaz Algar. The best part is that this is one of the “endless” farming methods presented here, meaning you can do it as much time as you want. To help you locate these rares easily, we recommend you use special addons like HandyNotes and RareScanner.
Flying through shiny orbs
Another way to collect this currency is by flying into small, shiny orbs. Each time you do, you’ll receive 1x Resonance Crystal. While it’s not the most efficient method, it’s a handy option if you come across one. This process is similar to flying through bronze orbs in WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria, which you may already be familiar with.
Snuffling
Additionally, you can try Snuffling, a new system linked to the Assembly of the Deeps, which becomes available when you reach Renown 2 with this faction.
You’ll be able to collect Disturbed Earth from the ground, and each time you gather these treasures in the three main zones — Isle of Dorn, Hallowfall, and Ringing Deeps — you’ll receive Resonance Crystals. This is an activity you can do endlessly, so if you’re eager to farm this new currency, this is the way to do it.
Weekly Dungeon quest
Every week, you can pick up a weekly dungeon quest from Biergoth in Dornogal at [46.4, 48.2]. Finishing one of these for the first time gives you 1,500 reputation points with a faction you choose. Once you repeat it with your Warband alts, you’ll earn 225x Resonance Crystals.
Exchanging currencies
If you have extra Kej currency, you can exchange it with a Nerubian vendor named Ka’muko, who becomes available at Renown 2 with the Severed Threads. Initially, the exchange rate isn’t fair enough, like 200x Kej for 100x Resonance Crystals. As you progress, the rate improves to 100x Kej for 400x Resonance Crystals. Eventually, you can trade the two currencies at a one-to-one ratio, allowing you to exchange them without any loss.
