To earn free Legendary Crests in Diablo Immortal without spending real money, focus on three weekly routines: buy the reset stock at the Hilts Trader, complete a four-player Warband raid for an Eternal Legendary Crest voucher, and convert capped Fading Embers from Elder Rifts. Supplementary crests come from milestone progression systems and limited-time in-game events.

Weekly Vendor and Raid Routines

Consistent crest income relies on completing weekly activities before each server reset:

  • The Hilts Trader (Westmarch): The general stock refreshes every week with a guaranteed Legendary Crest priced at 1,600 Hilts. Hilts are earned through daily Codex activities, Battle Pass leveling, and leaderboard standings. Check the trader's limited-time offers tab for occasional discounted crest vouchers.
  • Faction-Specific Vendor Tabs: Your faction standing opens additional purchases. Shadow members who rank up through the Path of Blood and daily assemblies unlock an extra monthly crest purchase in the Shadow inventory. Immortal lieutenants and leaders can buy additional crests with Hilts if their reign maintains a high Dominance rating.
  • Warband Helliquary Raids: Complete a weekly Helliquary raid with at least four active Warband members to unlock a crest voucher at the Crest Merchant, Jondo Mouren. The voucher costs 1,600 Platinum, which free players can generate by claiming the 120-point daily Codex chest (300 Platinum daily) or selling normal gems and skill stones on the Market.

The voucher from Jondo Mouren awards an Eternal Legendary Crest. Unlike standard Legendary Crests, Eternal crests drop unbound Legendary Gems from Elder Rifts, allowing you to sell unwanted or off-meta drops on the Market for Platinum.

Converting Fading Embers at the Jeweler

Running Elder Rifts awards Fading Embers up to two distinct weekly limits: a base solo cap and a bonus party cap earned by running rifts alongside players who insert crests. Group with four players to max out both caps efficiently each week.

Once collected, convert your embers into crafting materials or crests at the Crest Merchant and Apprentice Jeweler:

Saving 320 Fading Embers to craft an Eternal Legendary Crest directly guarantees unbound gem drops, feeding directly back into your Platinum economy.

Account Progression and Event Rewards

Outside of weekly resets, one-time milestones and seasonal systems reward Legendary Crests and targeted crafting currencies:

  • Free Battle Pass Track: Reaching Rank 40 on the free monthly Battle Pass awards one Legendary Crest. Daily Codex activity points easily clear this requirement before the 30-day season ends.
  • Hero's Journey and First-Time Clears: Progressing through Hero's Journey chapters grants crests upon completing specific objective stages. Defeating Helliquary bosses on newly unlocked difficulty tiers also provides first-clear reward chests containing crests.
  • Faction Milestones: Ranking up within the Shadows (advancing from Initiate toward Whisper) unlocks milestone bundles that occasionally include crest vouchers.
  • Rotating Community Events: Limited-time events like Hungering Moon, Survivor's Bane, and Trial of the Hordes feature a Legendary Crest in their primary event shops in exchange for task tokens.
  • Telluric Pearl Crafting: Purchase one Telluric Pearl per week from the Hilts Trader and gather additional pearls from events. Accumulating 40 Telluric Pearls lets you craft a specific 5-star Legendary Gem at the Apprentice Jeweler, providing a targeted alternative to random crest drops.
