All currencies and crafting materials in Diablo Immortal

As is the norm with most free-to-play games, Diablo Immortal offers a wide range of currencies and crafting materials you can loot as you battle through hordes of monsters and clear out dungeons. While most of these can be earned without spending a cent, there are a few that require the swipe of a card in order to obtain. Every currency and material has specific uses, and this delineation allows you to upgrade your character in different ways to suit your interests. Currencies and crafting materials are deeply tied to your progression. Therefore, it's important to know how many currencies there are, how to obtain them, what their rarity is, and how to use them.

All currencies and what they do in Diablo Immortal

• Gold - This is the most commonly found currency in the game, and can be farmed easily by killing monsters, completing bounties, clearing out dungeons, and completing weekly immortal rewards. Gold can be spent to upgrade your gear at the Blacksmith and to start your own Clan. It can also be traded with Yakin, the Rarities and Antiquities vendor in Rakkis Plaza to purchase weapons and armor.
• Hilts - Hilts are non-farmable items, which means they can only be earned by completing bounties, exploration events, battlegrounds, as well as weekly immortal rewards. You can only spend Hilts at one place, and that is with Lieutenant Fizriah, the Hilts merchant at Rakkis Plaza. You can buy items in exchange for Hilts, such as Crests, Gems, and Reforge Stones.
• Platinum - Platinum is a semi-premium currency in Diablo Immortal. It is a non-farmable item, and owing to its scarcity, players should be careful where they spend it on. It can be acquired by completing Daily Quests, by selling unwanted items to Dya in the Marketplace in Westmarch, or by purchasing them with Eternal Orbs. Platinum can be used to purchase and craft Legendary Crests, to buy Echo Crystals, and to obtain items from the Marketplace.
• Eternal Orbs - This is the most premium currency in the game and can only be purchased with real money. It can be spent to buy a number of items, like Legendary Crests, Reforge Stones, Platinum, and Dawning Echo.

You can also purchase them from the Smithing Materials vendor.
• Reforge Stone - Reforge Stones are items used to change any one of the bonus attributes that are unlocked when your item is Rank 6 or more.

• Gem Fragment - A key component required to upgrade the rank of Legendary Gems, obtained by dismantling spare Legendary Gems at the Apprentice Jeweler.
• Crests - Perhaps the most important material in the game, Crests are modifiers that can be placed in the Elder Rift to guarantee valuable rewards. There are two types of Crests—Rare Crests and Legendary Crests. Rare Crests can be obtained from the Hilts trader, the Battle Pass, and by visiting the Elder Rift. Legendary Crests can be obtained by purchasing them from the in-game shop using Eternal Orbs or by visiting the Hilts trader.
