After choosing three Crests, you can additionally add seven more Crests to further modify the Elder Rift and reap even more rewards. When adding the additional seven, Crests will auto-fill in the following order: Legendary Crests, Eternal Legendary Crests, and finally Rare Crests. If you have over 100 Rare Crests you can optionally add an additional 90 to run 100 Rare Crests at a time.
