Heirlooms
Heirlooms are four of the currencies in Darkest Dungeon. They consist of Crests, Portraits, Deeds and Busts, and are primarily used to upgrade buildings in town.
In dungeons, Crests stack to 12, Busts and Deeds stack to 6, and Portraits stack to 3.
In town, heirlooms can be exchanged for heirlooms of other types. Comet Shards from the Color of Madness DLC can also be exchanged:
| Busts | Portraits | Deeds | Crests | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Busts | --- | 3:1 | 3:2 | 2:3 |
| Portraits | 2:3 | --- | 2:3 | 1:3 |
| Deeds | 3:2 | 3:1 | --- | 2:3 |
| Crests | 3:1 | 6:1 | 3:1 | --- |

*The heirloom being traded is on the left hand side; the heirloom being received is on the top. Note that some value is lost in each exchange.
Exchanging:
common (Crests) to uncommon (Busts/Deeds) or uncommon to rare (Portraits) has a ratio of 3:1
common to rare has a ratio of 6:1
rare to uncommon or uncommon to common has a ratio of 2:3
rare to common has a ratio of 1:3
Exchanging Busts to Deeds (or Deeds to Busts) has a ratio of 3:2
