How to Get Battle of the North Crest
You can get the crest from hitting and winning against level 6-10 pict camps. You will have to have build the Round Tower before the crests will drop.
There are two ways to increase the drop rate of crests in Battle of the North:
1. Upgrade your Round Tower
2. Hit higher level camps.
It should be noted that after you hit the camp, you will need to let the enemy troops regen before you hit it again. Hitting a not 100% defended camp will lower your crest dropping chance. It typically takes 1 hour for the camp to fully regen after being attacked.
