With the start of Season 2, it is a good moment to highlight "breakpoints" that exist in the system and how you can benefit from them.
Upgrade Track Sources and Max Item Levels
The first thing you'll notice when obtaining gear in Season 2 is that each item now belongs to something called "Upgrade Track". This track is a limitation on how high you can upgrade a given item. There are five different upgrade tracks:
Explorer - Upgradable up to 398
Adventurer - Upgradable up to 411
Veteran - Upgradable up to 424
Keystone +2 to +8 End of Dungeon Loot
LFR Raid Items
Champion - Upgradable up to 437
Keystone +9 to +16 End of Dungeon Loot
Normal Raid Items
Hero - Upgradable up to 441
Keystone +17 to +20 End of Dungeon Loot
Heroic Raid Items
Explorer and Adventurer are tracks for open-world items, while the others come mostly from group PvE content like Raids or Mythic+. Mythic Raid items can't be upgraded.
Obtaining Shadowflame Crests
Once you have obtained the items you want to upgrade, it is time to upgrade them. For that, you will need to spend Flightstones, which are farmable and obtained by virtually anything, world quests, rares, Mythic+, and raid bosses, all of which give Flightstones. However, you will also need to spend Crests, which have a weekly cap.
You may obtain 150 Fragments of a given crest every week and 15 fragments will turn into a Shadowflame Crest. Below you can see a breakdown of the source of each crest.

For farming crests in Mythic+ and Raids, they reward the following number of fragments:
Full Raid Clear: 100 Fragments
First seven bosses = 10 Fragments each
Last two bosses = 15 Fragments each
Mythic+
Timing the key = 12 Fragments
Not timing the key = 5 Fragments
What to Farm?
The short version of it is that you should aim to
farm your 150 Wyrm and Aspect Fragments
every week at least during the start of the Season, as those will be the hardest to come by, but once you have a good backlog or have most of your gear upgraded, due to discounts, even if you get better pieces, you won't need to spend crests again, as the upgrade will be free.
For items in Mythic+, ideally, you should always aim to do
at least +17 keys
, as those will be on the Hero track and can reach the maximum upgradable ilvl of 441. However, if finding groups for 17s is proving too hard for one reason or another,
farming +9 to +16
keys already drop items on the Champion track, which can be upgraded all the way to 437, which, while lower than the Hero track, is only 4 ilvls lower. A positive is due to how discounts work, upgrading items on lower tracks isn't a waste, as it considers item level and not track progress.
For raid items, both Normal and Heroic raid items are very similar, with Normal items belonging to the Champion track, thus upgradable up to 437, while Heroic items belong to the Hero track, thus, upgradable to 441. The upgrade system also means that loot from any boss on Normal or Heroic can reach the same final item level, with ones from the latter bosses just being cheaper to upgrade due to the higher start base ilvl. Mythic items are still better overall, but cannot be upgraded.
