Old news...and do GR70, not 77. Thanks for sparing us the waste of time.

[@shadowfox87]

It's not about just getting any primal but getting the one you want for that specific item. The best way is to upgrade rare as it is the cheapest compared to reforging legendary. In that sense, all you need is death breaths. If you simply do bounties or regular rifts at at least T16, you pick up at least a 100 death breaths per hour, which is enough for 4 upgrades.

[@libraryofpangea7018]

There is a trade off however- as while it may be more expensive, it is also better targeted for that specific piece of gear. I usually make my first build of the season a gold/ craft farmer & stock pile a surplus before rolling into my main builds, for me personally I've found reforging to be faster for the specific peices I want. Because I can do it while im resource farming

[@NekotaStr]

So basically u say: How to farm primal ancients (how to play the game normally, just do speed rifts) ... bro, u changed my life. thank you so much!

My first primal that dropped(Which wasn't the guaranteed one at 70 solo) came from ACT 4(High Heavens). I was killing an elite and accidentally hit a vase at the back, the primal shoulders dropped from there, a vase...haha.

[@yyin3061]

Do I must play season 16 greater rifts in order to get more primals ?

[@Nihiliste-]

Solid stuff dude

[@stompingpeak2043]

I get more primals from regular rifts than speed gr90. You just have to open all chests and kill all valuable enemies. Having a build that also smashes wreckable objects can also give you extra drops. I've got 2 from gr and 9 from regular rifts and this was the same last season as well.

[@BillCarter2k19]

Me too. In the past 3 days, I've done 90 GR80s, got no primals... Ive done 30 rifts, i got 5 of them.

[@Lewdacris916]

yeah i gotten most of my primals from regular torment 13 rifts

[@SpocksBro]

All that matters is to maximize item drop rolls per time unit. Since everything can drop anything. I would say taking your time to open a chest lessens your rolls per time unit on average compared to just killing shit as fast as you can. Though one would have to consider drop rates as well to be really sure. Those depend on chest as well as mob type (normal, elite, champions etc.).

[@stompingpeak2043]

[@frottery]

how to farm primals: maximize legendaries per hour, 1 out of 400 of them will be primal. The fastest legendary / hour is 4 player regular rifting for most people, speed GR doesn't net you death's breaths which can be used to upgrade yellows to legendaries, each reg rift is 1-2 extra legendaries and more blood shards. At some point, speed 90 > reg rifts with a coordinated team. if you're pugging grifts you're probably not minmaxed with buffs so will be doing each grift in 4 mins.

[@leeman27534]

eh, you've got to do rifts anyway for Grifts.

[@qcydios]

I've never gotten more blood shards from regular rifts as opposed to greater rifts

[@leeman27534]

@@qcydiosplus, regular rifts caps out at t13. grifts keep scaling up. though, admittedly, for some things, like certain weapon archetypes, specific offhands, etc, upgrading a rare to legendary is probably a good way to go, like, its shit for rings, but for something where there's only like 7-8 legendaries anyway, pretty solid.

[@jaywoo8]

this is not up to date with current builds. speed 100s are very realistic now. I myself with impale can do a 100 in under 3 minutes. Take this advice for its two cents.

it sucks getting primals that are useless to you or just trash primals in general... Not being able to trade stuff is annoying.

[@samuell1894]

Quick question , does playing with higher rift increase the chance ?

[@ludwigroos777]

it does not theoretically increase chance ... you're capped at 1 in 400 or whatever the drop rate is (not guaranteed) the difference being that more legendaries drop therefore it statistically increases your chance of getting it ... Therefore 4 legendaries drops at 2 min per rift = 100 rifts before a single drop of primal ancient which isn't guaranteed but at a higher tier rift more legendary drops = higher chance 9 legendaries at 2 min a rift = 44 rifts before primal ... however again ... not guaranteed ... and the reason why i say that is because you could be statistically unlucky having to farm around 1200 legendaries before having gotten a primal ancient

[@AbleAnderson]

“Everyone can do a gr 100 now” Damn I must suck. I finally did a gr 70 with this demon hunter. At gr 75 I get one shotted by everything. I use build guides.

Mitherium - there is no way you are paragon level 52 at rift 79 you are so full of shit. Doing a single run at lvl 40-50 gives you like 3 paragon levels. Not to mention at paragon level 52 you would be a fresh lvl 70 with no gear meaning you’re lucky be be able to complete a level 30 GR.

[@Lewdacris916]

The original design for primals was to have them roll higher stats than ancients, this concept was nixed and the developers decided for them to have "perfect rolls" IE max ancient stats. I think this decision was a massive blunder, this would of given high paragon players incentive to grind for gear. Since they roll the same as ancient legendaries, they are not always better, which again is stupid considering how rare they are. Also if you reforge a primal it may downgrade to an ancient, which is pretty lame, i think they should only be able to roll primal in kanai cube.

[@brianerlandson7951]

Question, if you augment a weapon with a lvl 33 gem and get say 195 INT, can you augment again with a 40 gem and have the two stack?

[@andristefanus]

i think i can clear GR 70 just fine with my archon, so no sweat

[@12deathguard]

Does it has to be a GR 70 solo specifically? I level gems at GR 80 most of the time solo.

[@bigdaddyden76]

Gr 70 is to unlock the chance of primals dropping, after that they can drop on any difficulty.

[@maxpowers5055]

How much does the primal drop rate go up per 1gr level?

[@leeman27534]

it doesn't. its just a straight up 1 in 400 ish for every legendary. and legendaries increase around 1 in every ten grifts, so if you're at like 70 getting ten or something, you've got something like 2.5%. at gr80 if you're now getting 11, its 2.75%

[@jpw5f]

For me and many other players, I don't want any old primal, especially for seasons. I want a very specific primal (starting with a a specific MH Weapon, with proper rolls). I'd say reforging legendary is best for this - internet says primal ancient is about 1/400 given a specific item drop, this would mean you would need to do up to 125 full act bounty clears to get a primal. Seems like a lot, but a good team could do this in a few days. I would think it is a much more efficient way to get the actual primal you need/want. If you play all the other classes and don't care about seasons, then yeah this is probably ok, but i think most people are season players.

[@Bakron97]

i am willing to bet your odds are still better doing this tbh. Atleast till you narrow down the items you need to be primal. Because doing this method you have a chance to hit ANY of your needed gear as a primal and your net legs per hour is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY higher. i am positive if someone did the math your odds would be far greater unless like i said you are down to 1-2 primals needed

[@DmaaaaaxC]

Depends on the class and weapon. For a DH that needs the impale dagger, it is easier to make several yellow daggers and just roll a primal ancient. The DH can only make 2 legendary daggers.

[@brotherben6715]

Primal is just something to make you keep playing, honestly primals can be worse than well rolled ancients and if you have a well rolled ancient thats at 95-97% of the possible power of a primal ancient, then why even bother to keep going for the primal ?

[@divegabe]

I want the primal, 125 full act bounties on the other hand is just not worth it. However I think you're right, this is the fastest way for a specific primal item.

[@enzochannel3775]
