New Season 28 Feature: Craft-Your-Own-Primal!

[@wudijo]

Love this feature from S27! Which sanctified powers would you like to see come back in the future?

[@Gloryofthereef]

All of them. I was kind of hoping that for this last season, they would just give us every season bonus that has ever existed, all at once. I feel like ethereals and shards would be so fun to build around if we got both at the same time, and having RoRG for free in cube would add to possible build options as well.

[@TimMaddux]

The sanctified strafe was game-changing and a ton of fun but shouldn’t be made permanent, due to how it homogenized builds. What if we got a soul shard power instead, like the on-death explosion?

[@dincan9973]

horses sader for t16. made it so easy and you easily turn your brain off and run on the horsey widepepohappy

[@NhanNguyen-xk]

🤣 the DH strafe power will somewhat come back in the form of strafe/spike trap so if you like DH, you would stop asking Blizz to change it.

[@randomuser0909]

@@Gloryofthereef You do understand we would be doing 150s in like 50 seconds if we had every season at once right?

[@hereticd3]

Can't wait to make Blackthornes!

[@guyy6800]

I was hoping to be able to do more than just one item. I’ve never had a primal drop that I’ve actually equipped

[@digitalstatictv]

Had a primal Karlei's drop once, and was so happy. Reroll a stat, start blasting, find an ancient Karlei's with area damage so is rolled better than the Primal...had to have a few drinks before unequipping it 😭

[@phishmastermike]

I wish we could to. It’s not like most casual find that many primals to make the new primal

[@nes0901]

I agree. They should have made it one weapon, one armor piece and one jewelry item. That would have been a good compromise

[@jamesworkshop9181]

best items are ones that are build specific so you don't need to worry about not having two of them to equip at the same time which you cannot do, most weapons only go with 1 of each class set so work really well. items with unusual magic rolls are good because those aren't just solved by cubing the powers.

[@TimMaddux]

I hadn’t thought of the savings from salvaging a “failed” Lorath primal. Thanks!

[@TrueMeKazik]

I was soo happy when I've read we will be able to craft primals. Then I heard it wont be too OP because you will only be able to equip one, and immediately felt bad for the implementation. I usually play season for 3 to 5 weeks. I only got a primal for my build once and I played last 14 seasons. Last season my RNG was soo bad, I stopped playing the game whatsoever after 2 weeks of not getting my full ancient gear (I only had like 3 or 4). Tried this system on PTR and I still think it sucks. Imagine making a primal with bad stats. All you can now do is salvage it and try next time you get resources. You cant even reroll it in the cube because that will just waste it making it non-ancient. People say, you can't give people way to craft primals and let them equip multiple of those because high end level players would just end up with full primal gear. Soo? Game is build in such a way, they have unfair advantage with paragons, legendary gems and having full ancient gear with good rolls. Why making it easier to gear up for more casual players is a bad thing? Everyday player will gain 10x more than hardcore player anyway.

[@otaviocamanho1135]

I am so glad i struggled with stash size and never got rid of my useless primals

[@MrYoshigu]

lol me too. Saved them for red boarder meme build

[@BobMotster]

The cost is fair. I don't like the fact that we can still equip only one crafted primal. "That'd be too much, too easy!", you'll say, but I don't think so. The players who care a lot about primals in the first place are the diehard min-maxers, those who roll until they get the perfect stats. The rest of the players may be titillated by the idea of crafting multiple primals at first, but at some point they will get bored/distracted or simply satisfied with a couple of nigh-perfect ancients and call it a day. So, in my opinion, there will still be grinding, there will still be a lot of rerolling even if we were allowed to craft primals for all slots.

[@kamilklimowicz6160]

I wish they did a similar thing for ancient items. Maybe allow 2 crafted ancients, that would make getting great rings or amulets easier.

[@sajmon154]

Wth? It is already in game for looooooong time, just go qube and reforge desired item till you get ancient...

[@jfast8256]

I personally hate getting my jewelry spots. 50% of the time I'm using a NQ version that I can't augment because there is literally a 90% chance that your best ring/necklace is not Ancient. In many cases putting an extra +625 main stat on your best ancient/primal ring/necklace isn't worth losing your best normal quality.

[@gotdangedcommiesitellyahwa6298]

@@sajmon154 Yeah, just waste all of your mats, hoping for an ancient. Then you have to hope that ancient has the stats you want. Then you have to hope the numeric value of those stats isn't complete garbage, otherwise it's worthless. Then you have to waste more time grinding more mats, just to start the process all over again. We don't all have 16 hrs/day to play this game.

[@kevorkian25]

will this be the same on nonseason this recipe ??

[@keithwilson4082]

this recipe is available in non lader as well at least it was during the PTR .

[@TrupimOkiemTV]

It sounds fun and will be awesome (I did my testing and can't wait to start playing Marauder and GoD), but I wish they made soul shards permament feature. I miss soul shards.

[@SozoKratos]

Great change - probably my #1 ("why is this a thing") is primails in previous seasons. I'd say 90% of the time I get a primal drop its useless. At least this will no longer be a major issue anymore. Just in time for Diablo 4...

[@derfman1963]

This feature is exactly what I said would be the only way to bring the angelic crucible feature to non-seasonal. I have a feeling that this is a test run for a permanent feature. In fact, I believe many of the altars features are going to be permanently implemented. Such as picking up globes, pets picking up and scraping normal, magic and rare items, etc. If it is a quality-of-life upgrade I believe it's has a chance of becoming a permanent feature.

[@CoDwithSwords]

It would be cool to see the whole seasonal altar become part of the base game, then just cycle the previous seasonal features. I'd return for quite a few of those seasons even after D4 drops (assuming D4 is good lmao)

[@BobMotster]

Here's hoping those features remain for good. I'd personally be playing Diablo 3 for a couple more years if that happened.

[@Death_Networks]

Can you re-roll these "primals"? Or do you need new legendries to upgrade

[@AnnThracks1]

You salvage a bad primal and redo the cube recipe. You'll need an additional primal for mats for every attempt.

[@davenullneun7595]

Yes u need a new legendary item

[@OrestisM82]

question : u can have a primal crafted and other one droped or u can equip no matter what one?

[@Stauernfischer]

1 crafted, dropped primals have no limit on wearing

[@mattm8870]

dropped primal work as normal with no limit the crafted one has an unique equip tag.

[@nightwing6602]

Hey you should really make a video on something I discovered with primals while having the entire alter done I was doing bounties and I opened up one of my bounty bags and a primal dropped but only one now I have everything done with the alter so I was searching and searching and couldn’t find the second one so apperently primals drop only one in the bounty bags not two

[@iMANTlS]

Hoped this was much earlier rather than grinding with sometimes hopeless RNG

[@justice_1337]

I assumed this feature would launch game wide instead of just season.

[@DETERMINOLOGY]

Def, Looking forward to season 28

[@JLawL]

Having just one Primal craftable really sucks. I was excited about this but not anymore. I've played 24 of the 27 seasons. I'm over para 11k on non season, and I still have not been able to get a character with even half of the primals I'd want. Should have just made the cost of a primal scale exponentially. 100 for your first, 200 for your second, 400, 1600, etc. At least then you've got a chance to actually fill the slots you will statistically never get.

[@shanehare5954]

I spent more mats rerolling Krysbyn's sentence in season 27 and still never got a perfect one

[@mitsos512]

Wait, does it mean this is only a season feature? I thought this will be also in non season available

[@Vertigo2688]

Sadly it's expensive as fuck, unless they boost the Primal gear drop rate...

[@_reddruid_]

How is it possible that you have so many production materials?

[@billywilds1779]

Quivers have to many options for re-rolling. Need to reduce to it's top 5 primary uses.

[@ramb0101]

As a crusader main, I do hope these s27 powers come back in some shape. I just can't see myself manually casting FotH ever again...

[@llVIU]

does it seem to you like blizzard gives a shit? You wanna know what they really care about? Ask the ceo that gave himself a 200mil usd bonus. Imagine even 1% of that money being put into diablo 3.

[@aaronspiteri6708]

Could you primal a puzzle ring and get an ancient vault?

[@hadzien]

yes

[@markgartner9844]

My understanding, however, is a primal puzzle ring is no different than an ancient puzzle ring. I think Raxx tested it some time ago.

[@lNe11yl]

does it worth it though? Maybe if you already crafted your 'go for' item and then you have those free primal ashes

[@aohjii]

@@lNe11yl ancient puzzle is way beter than regular puzzle so yues its worth

[@sirmoke9646]

You need to have an ancient puzzle ring for step 20 on the altar. They aren't that common so a lot of people will need to craft a primal ring.

[@simonkonicek1300]

Will this item converst in normal svr as primal? Also i would much rather 10x more price than only 1 item.

[@jrae_0]

I kind of wish it required an ancient item, vs just a legendary.

[@homh9903]

so you can't do this with all you gear?

[@robertlefeaux]

I don't get the "one to one" thing. 100 to craft, 55 for disenchanting is two for one with an extra freebie every ten times. Unless I'm missing something?

[@wudijo]

find two -> 110 craft -> 10 salvage -> 65 find one -> 120 craft -> 20 salvage -> 75 find one -> 130 ...

[@robertlefeaux]

@@wudijo oh, ok. I thought you meant disenchanting so I was trying to picture an infinite loop. I actually got my first primal drop minutes after posting that and it clicked that you meant 1 drop (with maxed altar) effectively gives one reroll.

[@20the20]

@@robertlefeaux 1 drop would be two rerolls with maxed altar

[@RichyDH]

Cool feature,but the rng god usually hates me when it comes to dropping primals in the first place -- any tips ?

[@panztramwaju]

Primals spawn after soloing 70 GR. Most often they drop primals on "regular" Nephalem rifts torment XVI (boss, chests)

[@abryan34]

The number of drops per Gr doesn't improve past Gr90. You get the most items per hour blasting 90's. It's only worth increasing gr for more xp if the kill time stays the same.

[@lNe11yl]

yeaaa, freed of finding karini finally

[@jammin_maestro]

I'm gonna be looking forward to finding trash primals next season

[@turtlemaster9000]

I honestly don't see the appeal of these crafted primals, they're just straight up shittier versions of sanctifications. And are also a lot harder to acquire since you need to salvage two primals to craft one. These special primals are also very likely going to be season-only so they won't get trannsferred to non-season. Overall not impressed at all.

[@Caracal-lm6es]

Dawn. If you are playing DH 😁

[@thejoyfuldragon887]

Considering this is essentially a pitty mechanic since it only improves your worst piece of gear I think it having a low cost like this is fine, personally.

[@chrisanderson6930]

i feel like its a load of crap that you cant do it with follower items, given d3s propensity of giving you primal follower items in the past. lol.

[@aero5047]

they're defo doing a full send before d4. i like this

[@NickkTran]

lol it only took them 10 years

[@xNFR]

kinda useless if you can only equip one

[@JoseFrituz]

i know some noobs desiring to have all primal items with primordial asehes when they bareley can get a primal by thelsemvels bcause they only play a few mins at day and then whining about the game is too hard and they want all primals witht the cube 🤣🤣🤣

[@llVIU]

stop calling it a primal. It's a nerf shit tier crucible, vastly harder to make and no mega power. If I can't take it to non season and can't wear it with other crafted fake primal, then it's not a primal. Not a primal. It's a letdown. Now imagine you craft a fake primal weapon, then a REAL primal weapon drops... what do you do? Drop the fake primal, put the real primal weapon... and then craft a fake primal ring or amulet. That's what we did in season 27, dh impale... craft a REAL primal dagger, and use a crucible on quiver.

[@sajmon154]

Wow go touch the grass and try to be less dumb.

[@finneas9894]

I dont get how you are malding so hard about this? Can anyone explain lol?

[@turtlemaster9000]

@@finneas9894 I don't know but he is right 100%. These crafted primals are straight up crappier versions of crucibles. They have no special powers and are a lot more difficult to get. They are also seperate from normal primals meaning they are a seasonal exclusive items that are very unlikely to be transferable to non-season. Overall I'm not impressed whatsoever.

[@finneas9894]

@@turtlemaster9000 we dont need crucible effects they are so unnecessary. We are already going to be the most powerful we have ever been in a d3 season.

[@CamAlert2]

This is still better than not being able to have some use out of primals instead of just salvaging them because 90% of them are useless and meme. The fact you'll be able to turn any legendary item into a primal is, by itself, a very good mechanic. You can take advantage of this by upgrading 2 of the same legendary items, then salvaging away the one you don't want from the 2 you crafted, eventually make a second copy of that primal, compare the stats, and so on and so on until you get that one god tier primal you want, or something close to what you want. And the altar power that lets you get 2 primals every time one drops makes this easier to do.

[@ondrejbase706]

Bounties are officially dead now :D

[@Dad_of_War]

how do you figure? you're still going to need mats and rrog

[@BartSimpsonKB]

notification gang

[@MrChromatickey]

instead of one crafted primal item one at a time, why not have as many as we can. but when you recyle a useless primal item we can get 1 (one) premordial ash rather than 50/55. and to make an unlimited roll feature we can use 80 on a legendary item, and if we want to use on a primal item to make it with an unlimited rolling feature we can spend 20 (for example). in season 27 i have had like 80 or so primals and i am happy to sacrifice all of it to a primal with godly features. don't make it limited. make it very expensive.

[@punkypinko2965]

Wish they never added primals. It's just another pointless grind ... enough!

[@llVIU]

you can't blame blizzard, they only had 6 months to analyze crucible powers, how they worked when implemented and tested by thousands of players and see what we like and don't like... better go with the safer option and just remove the entire content of crucibles that they worked on. In fact why not remove all legendary powers too... don't wanna risk it, better safe than sorry.
