Rob has been playing Blizzard games since 2005, especially the Warcraft & Diablo series. Determination, efficiency and reliability represent this EU-Player both ingame and in real life. He has been a long term non-seasonal player from the origins of Diablo 3. His current focus has shifted to seasonal gameplay, pushing the group leaderboard ranks early in the season. While Rob has an arsenal of experience with all classes, you'll usually find him leaping into battle with his beloved Barbarian or pushing the current META to new heights! 
General

Obtaining Hilts
There are many ways to get Hilts in Diablo Immortal:
- Challenge Rifts
- Group Leaderboards
- Solo Leaderboards

- Shadows
- Raiding the Vault

- Daily Quests
- Immortals
- Defending the Vault
- Rite of Exile
- Crown Contribution
- Weekly Participation
- Daily Quests
- Cycle Turns Chest reward
- Battlepass

The best way to get Hilts is to always complete daily and weekly objectives, as well as pushing all the Challenge Rift Leaderboards. These reward by far the highest amount of Hilts in the entire game!

Hilts are spent at the Hilts Trader, which is located in the top right corner in Westmarch.
There are 3 different tabs to choose rewards from:

| Charm | 100 | 20 per week |
2. Immortals
These are exclusive rewards for Immortals for the contributions they have made in protecting Sanctuary. Some items are only unlocked for purchase when Immortal Dominance reaches a specific rank.
| Item | Hilts cost | Purchase Limit | Dominance Rank to unlock |

| Item | Hilts cost |
| Choice of Gems | 200 |
| Reforge Stone | 200 |
| 10x Scrap Material | 20 |
| 1x Enchanted Dust | 15 |
| Charm | 100 |
Strategy
Check the Hilts Trader frequently to avoid missing out on sales in the "Limited Time" tab. Generally, you should always buy up all crafting materials as well as your choice of gems to get higher ranks. Normal Reforge Stones can be skipped in the later phases of the game, as they become less useful compared to the family specific Reforge Stones. Here is an overview of some strategies used in the Alpha:
- Buying the Legendary Crests is invaluable. It could be a 5-star Gem that completely changes your build and getting those Crests is extremely rare. Get these every time.
- Buying Enchanted Dust lets you upgrade your gear at the Blacksmith faster, giving you more of the best stats in the game, Combat Rating.
- Choice of Gems is another great way to spend Hilts. The typical top 2 choices are Tourmaline (for more damage) and Sapphire (for more Armor Penetration = Critical Hit Damage). Remember that Armor Penetration has diminishing returns at high levels, while pure damage does not. So you can never go wrong with buying Tourmalines.
Summary
- Maximize your Hilts by doing Challenge Rifts and Daily / Weekly Faction quests.
- Check the Hilts Trader often for new Limited Time sales.
- Spend your Hilts on Legendary Crest, Gems (Tourmaline and Sapphire) and upgrading materials.
- Take your powered up character into Battlegrounds and show 'em who's boss!
More Information is soon to come as Diablo Immortal development continues. Stay tuned!
