Not understanding the crest discount mechanism

Hi to all I need help in understanding exactly how the crest discount works (I’m talking about the mechanism that allows you to sometimes pay 10 of a given crest to upgrade an item one slot up instead of 15) and coukdn’t find a definite answer I. The net.

  1. Is it character based or works for all rerolls ?
  2. Is. It indeed based on the achievement for all slots at a given Ilvl and if yes what are the actual lvls in question ?
  3. How is it most efficient to use it in view of the above ?

Thanks in advance.

Achievements for having the ilvl track in all slots gives you access to exchange those crests for the next track.

E.g. “Runed of the Undermine”, ‘outgrow the use of Runed Crests’ allows you to exchange runed crests for Gilded crests.

As for discount the discount applies to everything right up to the highest ilvl item currently available for that slot, only costing you valorstones.

E.g. You have a 662 2h weapon, any 1h + off hand or 2h weapon you find after will have the discount to upgrade to 662. To get 665 you’ll need crests.

As to being “efficient” just upgrade everything even if it’s not BiS… replacements will get the discount to only spend valorstones which is easy to get.

Thanks Beerewolf. Actually the discount I was thinking about is the one that allows you to pay 10 crests instead of 15 for a slot where that character doesn’t have a piece of higher I’ll. Do you know how that works ?

You need a character to have all gear slots at the ilevel a crest can upgrade your gear to.

E.g Runed Crests can upgrade your gear to 658, so when you have a character with at least 658 ilevel in all slots, you then only have to pay 10 Crests to upgrade gear to 658 on all your other characters.

Thanks Gloober. Very clear.
