About the Blackened Crest...

Okay, I've been looking everywhere, I've followed every lead, Still nothing, I haven't even seen this shield on a player yet. I've spoken to game masters, They all swear it is in-game, but cant give any information as to where or how rare. Its reached the point where I don't want to look anymore for a treasure that is impossible to find. So, Three rings, Sega, Nick, Whoever runs this joint, Just show me the shield, Some kind of proof its in the game so I can go on with my life because I have officially drove myself nuts going on this endless hunt.
To the players..
As I rage on, you may have noticed I want proof of this shield's existence. So, Here is my challenge for you: Show me the shield, and get 1k cr completely free. All you have to do, should you be a lucky owner of this shield, is show me it in-game, be it bound or unbound, there's ways to show it off. So, show me the shield, get 1k cr free. simple task, free money. My in-game name is Kuger.
Back to the game masters...
Is there any way of making this shield easier to get? I am all for rarity and the fact this shield is so rare makes me want it even more, but making it so impossible that it hasn't even been seen on a player is a bit too far. Is there a way to make this easier? Or maybe a trinket that increases drop rate? Something to even slightly increase our chances of finding this shield or some kind of hint or riddle to know where to start looking, It would be appreciated and I know for a fact I'm not the only one upset over the impossibility of this shield.
I thank you for your time game masters, and I thank any players who can show me this shield to prove it is possible.

I understand it is suppose to come from chests, and I did see that forum post. But I've never been able to contact that user who claimed to own it. So, I decided to make my own hunt to find a user who has it

Well its easy money for just showing me the shield on your back, Nothing requires me to give anyone anything, I am simply offering a small sum of crowns to only look at a shield which I think is a pretty fair deal.
Probably most people who got a Blackened Crest made it into a Crest of Almire.
Somebody already made a contest that somebody shows him the blackened crest.
Somebody did, and is now a proud owner of 5k CE.
It only comes from chests though.
You're wrong. I'm the somebody who made the contest, and I never confirmed he had it. If I had confirmed it, I would've updated the post or at least made mention of it.
The wiki editor who added that it drops from chest is either a moron to take forum posts to be 100% truthful and accurate, or he personally checked and made sure Vishnalo had it. But I doubt the latter is the case.
Oh sorry, didn't knew he ever proved that.
I have some info on the matter, however I can't disclose it here. It's nothing too new or exciting though.
I think you friended me the other day to make some Duke runs, whisp me if you want some info.
One way or the other, you have to be extremely lucky to get one, which has been proven by how rare they are, so don't even bother.

If I show you the shield 10 times, do I get 10k cr?

Well seeing how I doubt anyone will even claim it, proving the shield is impossible, then sure I guess I can give 10k to the first to show me it..
