Hey there!
Just bringing back an idea / proposal from the past by myself and other D3 players. Please, keep it friendly 
This is just a theory discussion, which is NOT to be taken as ‘whining’ , ‘begging’ , ‘critisizing devs’, etc.
First of all let me say that I’m quite familiar with Primal Ancient topics and I have nothing against the current methods of obtaining Primals as I play often enough. I had my fair share of primals that ended up salvaged so I propose something more than just mere 15 Forgotten Souls as a reward.
In other words, I wish to give players who enjoy the game but have limited time to spend a fighting chance to at least feel somewhat well equipped, comfortable with their characters.
Don’t get me wrong, I would personally love something more that I can do with my primals but that doesn’t mean I have anything against the current methods, drop rates, etc.
Let’s get to it.
Some ideas:
- Salvaging Primals Ancients has a % chance to reward Primal Essence
- Primal Essence can be used for Crafting / Kanai recipes
which can include:
- Reforging a Primal without losing it’s “primal” state. ( 1-5 essences
including the usual amount of bounty materials and forgotten souls )
- Reforging a non-primal results in a higher chance of getting the item
you want into it’s primal version.
( primal essence + all bounty mats + forgotten souls )
- A new option to convert Primal Essences into 2-4k of
each crafting material
( not including bounty materials )
- A new option to infuse a potion of choice with a primal essence thus
resulting in the potion gaining 1-2 additional effects from other potions
( making them a bit more relevant in some cases? ) -
Maybe relevant? - > Primal Puzzle Ring / Bovine Bardiche with increased
chance of rewarding a primal. - Odious Collector has a small chance of dropping a Primal Essence.
( as much as other goblins have a chance of dropping a primal )
Please, feel free to share your own ideas and thoughts.
- What do you think will be beneficial and feel more rewarding for the player base?
- Which of these could be implemented and how would they impact the gameplay we know so far?
- Some of you may consider this to be an unnecessary fuss over something that others consider a waste of time to farm but just have a calm head about this.
- Personally, as I wrote above, have no problem with the current methods of obtaining primals. I’d load up a movie, farm bounties for indefinite amount of time and then reforge to my heart’s content.
