Veteran Insignia is the third tier of insignia in Windrose. It drops from elite Blackbeard-aligned enemies at high-difficulty locations and yields a large reputation boost per turn-in.
How to Acquire

Turn-In Value
Veteran Insignias are one of the largest single-item reputation boosts in the game short of a full quest completion. A single Veteran Insignia can move the bar more than a dozen Newhand Insignias combined. This makes them too valuable to turn in casually; most players hold Veteran Insignias until they are within reach of a rank threshold, then burn one to cross it in a single turn-in.
