Blizzard on Account-Wide Primal Chaos

Posted 2023/02/02 at 12:07 PM by Squishei

We’ve heard and agree with feedback that players have amassed surplus Primal Chaos on their mains while their alts need all the Primal Chaos they can get. With a hotfix that went live about 12 hours ago, we’ve added a method for transferring Primal Chaos to other characters on your account.

Rabul of the Artisan’s Consortium now sells a Satchel of Coalescing Chaos that binds to your Blizzard Account. This item costs 80 Primal Chaos and provides 60 Primal Chaos to the character who uses it.

As you can see, some Primal Chaos will be lost in the transaction. This is because we want to make sure that while this is a great way for a main to help an alt, the best way to gear up a character should generally be via actually playing that character.Nonetheless, this should provide an additional use for your Primal Chaos, as well as a good way to get some powerful gear to your alts quickly.

Comment by QuackthyrNow just uncap valor, thanks.Comment by Delphina79Great addition!Comment by HeyHrothmarNow do the same for a 10:1 Primal Infusion trade, my main has so many that are dead-in-the-water and I'd happily trade them to an alt at a tremendous loss just to get them out of my bank since they don't sell for any value and are entirely useless once you've outgeared them.Comment by drypulsealways has to be a tax, eh blizz?Comment by NyriphWhat about the 80+ of the primal infusions and concentrated xDComment by NyloafThe tax is a bit much in my opinion, but the option is nonetheless appreciated and well-needed. As someone else has commented, however, uncapping valor would be an even more welcome change.Comment by Artek88nothing shocky its the same operation like in bfa or sl...Comment by lierox90the best way to gear up a character should generally be via actually playing that character.Comment by Oldburyso I have no issue with the "tax" on the primal chaos, but their reason does not hold water - even with the tax, it's still far quicker to accrue Primal Chaos on a geared character and trade it over to a lower alt, than to just play the alt itself.

Nonetheless, this came just intime for my Monk that's just hit max level and can now burn 5 sparks on a few easy 392 pieces to get off the ground - and I think a "finite" number of easy 392s is a good level of acceptable gear-boost for an alt.Comment by Rellyne"BuT ThEy NeEd tO EaRN iT!1!"

Now the infusions. Wonder why Blizzard always had this problem.

You look at the rewards from maxing out the 4 reputations and it makes no sense to receive primal infusions as a reward at that point (aside from people that exploited or the ones that only do WQs maybe?). If they were Bind on Account so you could send to an alt it would make sense and be a really nice reward for that achievement (since it's a reward for maxing the reputation).Comment by percelthe best way to gear up a character should generally be via actually playing that character.Comment by TOMRUSThis is bad. Not only they take away massive chunk of your reagents you worked hard to get for no reason, do it in very convoluted way, but also Depleted Primal Chaos alone is not enough, make Primal Infusion and Concentrated Primal Infusion (and base items Primal Focus, Concentrated Primal Focus) account wide via hotfix, because Depleted Primal Chaos is useless without having infusions account wide.

Depleted Primal Chaos should have just been made account wide so you can send it directly you your alts at 1:1 ratio without this convoluted vendor exchange with massive tax, same for infusions...

Where is all this alt friendliness you promised? I don't see it yet...Comment by FrawtariusUNCAP VALORComment by BlunderbusPrimal Chaos should be account wide, full stop. This taxation is silly.Comment by Blaque1Hey, dont uncap valor, but let us send like up to x2 primal infusions per week to alt, let the vendor have 2 available per week, that way gearing your alt by actually playing it is still valid.Comment by SkappzWhat about the unneeded Infusions / matrixes on main characters. Half baked fix.Comment by Setsuna665if they want the best way to gear up to be us playing then they really need to increase drops. i almost never get gear from keys and sofar this week im at 2 full clears and 0 loot. i would love to just play my characters and gear up but for at the very least season 1 it seems like im going to have to craft my gearComment by Rhozrgtthe best way to gear up a character should generally be via actually playing that character.Comment by SapoQLxdHey, dont uncap valor, but let us send like up to x2 primal infusions per week to alt, let the vendor have 2 available per week, that way gearing your alt by actually playing it is still valid.Comment by MaxmoefoeDear Blizzard, the best way to gear a character is not playing it but actually getting loots, not only every wednesday, but at least in every 3 dungeon. Playing a character without loot through 10-12 dungeon is really demoralising. I play less, if i am not getting rewarded, i play more if i can actually measure my progress mid week too, let that sink in.....
