Do Not Downgrade Crests at the Crest NPC - Giving Unusable Crests

The War Within brings changes throughout Azeroth, and Professions are no different! With the traditional new expansion Profession update, Gathering and Crafting Professions are seeing new recipes, new Knowledge Point trees, and fun new interactions for players to explore within the crafting systems.

The ring is created using Lifeless Stone Ring, which casts Infuse Memories. This spell requires three reagents:
