The Sign of Apexis Bonus Event is back, and from now through January 18, everyone will receive bonus Apexis Crystals from eligible creatures. If you want Apexis in excess, make sure you pick up the event-only quest The Time to Strike and you’ll get big piles of Apexis Crystals, Garrison Resources, and Oil when you complete five Apexis objectives.

Spending Apexis Crystals on gear upgrades can be a great way to improve your overall item level. Visit Ravenspeaker Thelnaas in Tanaan Jungle to buy armor for 5,000 Crystals apiece, a weapon for 10,000 Crystals, and Empowered Apexis Fragments for 20,000 Crystals. Empowered Apexis Fragments are Battle.net Account-bound, and they upgrade your Baleful gear from ilvl 650 to ilvl 695.

Don’t forget these other collectibles, which you can pick up from Dawn-Seeker Krisek if your standing with the Order of the Awakened is high enough:

• Reins of the Corrupted Dreadwing mount (150,000 Apexis Crystals; requires Friendly)
• Rukhmar's Sacred Memory toy (50,000 Apexis Crystals; Revered)
• Blazing Firehawk pet (2,000 Apexis Crystals; Exalted)
• Solar Priest Vayx follower (1,000 Apexis Crystals; Honored)

Apexis Crystals can also be used to purchase other special goods around Draenor, if you know where to look.

What’s the next item you’re going to purchase with your Apexis windfall?
