Corrupted Dreadwing

Sold by Dawn-Seeker Krisek, the Order of the Awakened's quartermaster in Tanaan Jungle, for 150,000 Apexis Crystals at Friendly with the Order. He stands in the faction's Tanaan base, Lion's Watch for the Alliance and Vol'mar for the Horde, and the base is only there once the garrison's shipyard quests have taken the character into Tanaan.

Guide Wowhead: 6.2 Tanaan Jungle Guide

• Draenor garrison founded and raised to tier 3 (the last upgrade costs 2,000 Garrison Resources and 5,000 gold) · about 4 h over 10 days
• The Tanaan base set up: Garrison Campaign: War Council starts by itself in a tier 3 garrison and leads through building the level 1 Shipyard to The Invasion of Tanaan, Obstacle Course, In, Through, and Beyond! and The Assault Base, which raises Lion's Watch or Vol'mar; The Battle for the West and Commander in the Field! then open the command table's daily quests · about 2 h
• Friendly with the Order of the Awakened: Krisek's quest Unknowable Power (one Fel-Corrupted Apexis Fragment, from any treasure or rare of Tanaan) gives 1,500 reputation, and its daily follow-up Unseen Influence (ten fragments) 1,500 each time · about 1 h over 2 days
• 150,000 Apexis Crystals: the daily round in Tanaan pays at least 11,000: Unseen Influence 1,500, the command table's assault daily 2,000, its two follow-up dailies 1,000 and 500, the six other bonus-objective areas 5,200 between them, and the garrison's town hall daily 800 · about 20 h over 2 weeks

In all: about 27 h of play, spread over 2 weeks, 5,000 gold, starting from nothing.

/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight line and 30 seconds for a portal. A star marks a portal that needs a quest or other unlock done first.

The journal's cost of 150,000 is Apexis Crystals: Wowhead's sold-by list has Krisek (npc 95424) alone, at 150,000 of that currency and open to both factions. The wiki agrees, and a 2015 comment (+110) says the price does not fall with higher standing.

His two positions are Wowhead's tooltip for him; which is which rests on Wowhead's guide ('Vol'mar for the Horde to the north, Lion's Watch for the Alliance to the south') and on wow.gg, which gives the same two points by faction. The wiki places him at 'Lion's Watch/Vol'mar' without coordinates.

Once the base stands, portals by the flight masters of Stormshield and Warspear lead to it (Wowhead's guide). On the wiki the Alliance's War Council follows My Very Own Castle, the tier 3 quest, and The Assault Base is what phases a character into Lion's Watch; the quests are level 40 now, where the guide still says level 100. The guide also notes that on the test realm Tanaan could be entered from north-eastern Talador without the quests, with the hub, its vendors and the dailies then missing.

Reputation: the wiki gives no starting standing for the Order; a Medallion of the Legion adds 1,000 (wiki).

Apexis Crystals have had no cap since patch 6.2 (wiki), and each of Krisek's two quests pays 1,500 of them as well. The 14 days are a player's round from 2015, kept up to 2021; nobody has posted a rate since, and the item's comments of 2024 to 2026 are about display bugs, not the farming. Whether Apexis Crystals can be moved between characters was not found.

Other sources players and the wiki name:

• the garrison's assault dailies and Scouting Missives, at 800 to 1,000 each
• the work orders of a Mage Tower or Spirit Lodge, at about 900 to 1,000 a day (comments of 2015)
• follower missions, doubled by the follower Solar Priest Vayx (1,000 crystals from Krisek at Honored)
• the creatures of the bonus areas, at 1 to 3 crystals each (more with the buff of a Tanaan quest, by the same comment)
• Supreme Lord Kazzak, for 1,000 (2018 comment)
• on Blizzard's forum (2022), the sabers down the path from the totem vendor in Tanaan and the Pit in northern Gorgrond

wow.gg's guide (2026) reckons 10,000 to 20,000 crystals a day and 8 to 15 days, in line with the comment; it is not linked because Wowhead's covers the same ground from better evidence. Wowhead's Tanaan guide is from 2015 (last updated 2017): its quest chain, map and daily sums still describe the zone, its gear advice does not.

Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
