    Salvage Scrap-o-Matic 1000 (Tradewinds Market) or Shred-Master Mk1 (Terrace of Crafters), Boralus (Alliance) or Dazar'alor (Horde) Feed the scrapper any Battle for Azeroth gear, up to nine pieces at a time; quality makes no difference, so the cheapest route is crafting piles of Tidespray Linen Bracers (Tailoring) or Coarse Leather or Shimmerscale Armguards (Leatherworking) and scrapping them. BfA trinkets, other than crafted ones, always give one. about one for every six pieces scrapped.

    Craft Transmute: Expulsom Alchemists with Kul Tiran or Zandalari Alchemy 110 can make five a day; the transmute has its own cooldown, apart from older ones. From 10 × Akunda's Bite, 10 × Winter's Kiss, 3 × Anchor Weed (Alchemy). 5 a day.

    Get Profession world quests, Kul Tiras and Zandalar Some profession world quests reward it, and any world quest that rewards a trinket is worth doing, since the trinket scraps into one.

    Binds when picked up: it cannot be mailed, so send the crafted gear to the character who needs the Expulsom and scrap it there.

    Mark of Honor

    Buy Orboreal Distinguishment from Purveyor Zo'kuul, Oribos The quickest way: earn honor in battlegrounds or arenas, then trade 2,000 honor for a box of five marks. The guide's twelve take three boxes. 5 marks per 2,000 honor.

    Get Battleground win crates, Battlegrounds Most crates of battlefield goods handed out for winning a battleground hold a mark, so the same wins that earn the honor pay a little extra.

    Binds to the Warband, so marks earned on an alt can be sent over. Only the BfA Enchanting guide's Expulsom route uses them, 12 in all, to buy the rank 2 and 3 Sorcerous Scepter formulas; its normal route needs none.
