Using Legendary Crests in Diablo Immortal

Diablo Immortal Get your first taste at Elder Rift’s dungeons and some bonus goodies from the Crest Merchant. But now you’re hungry for more, and that’s how Diablo Immortal gets you.

This guide will show you how Legendary Crests and Elder Rifts work. It also explains how to obtain more.

Getting Started

You’ll fight a few medium-sized bad guys on your way to Level 20. The story will end naturally and Deckard Cain, our friend from high school will get you to the meeting Jondo MourenThe Crest Merchant. Jondo will show you how to access Elder Rifts. They are basically on-demand dungeons where you can grind for loot and XP. Legendary Gems can also been obtained. These Gems are then able to be inserted into your armor, giving you major buffs. Jondo also gives you a Legendary Crest as a gift to show you what great loot is like.

The price you must pay

You’re going to need to learn a few new in-game currencies to get the best loot out of your Rift runs, so let’s go over those now.

Crests: You’ll place crests in up to three slots at the start of a run. If you’re playing with others, they can also plug in Crests, for up to 10 total in a run. You can make a Rift run without them, but using Crests increase the quality of the loot you’ll collect. Legendary and Rare varieties of Crests exist, while Legendary will guarantee you a Legendary Gem at each end. Even if you don’t have a Legendary Crest you will still be able to gain runes that can be used to craft Crests. You’ll also get one Rare Crest per day from the Crest Merchant just by logging in.

Platinum: Platinum is currency that you’ll gain just by playing daily activities. If you’re grinding away anyway, keep an eye on this — you’ll eventually be able to trade it for Crests. Selling items can help you gain platinum. DyaIn the Places to Buy.

Hilts: Another currency that you’ll gain while running Rifts. You can also use them to buy Legendary Crests from the Hilt Trader. Just be aware- he’ll only stock one Crest per month, so when it’s gone, it’s gone for 30 days.

However, it is possible to skip the queue and purchase a lot of Crests or Orbs or Platinum with real human cash. You can be sure that the Crest Merchant will gladly accept your cash and send you to Legendary Gems. Be aware that all currencies have their exact amounts. Simply a little short of what you’d need — kind of like the hot dog v. bun conundrum.

For as low as $99, you can purchase a Legendary Crest 160 orbsFor 1,600 orbs you will need 10, and 60 for $0.99. So you’re looking at $3 per orb. The $5 pack of orbs isn’t quite enough for 2 Crests, and the $10 pack isn’t quite enough for 4. To hit a balanced number, you have to buy a bundle of 1,600 orbs (1,500 plus a bonus 150) for $25 — that’ll get you 10 Crests with a whole 50 orbs left over.

As someone who had a really rough weekend with Simpsons Tapped Out many years ago, we’d advise caution!
