Did you know, that the first guaranteed primal drop (the one you get when you do your first GR70+ solo in the season) is account bound?
(For those who did not know - yes, you may do a solo GR in a party, it’s that you start the GR and everyone else cancels)
Aren’t you only allowed to trade items with people that are in a party with you when you get it?
I could be mis-remembering, as I haven’t played D3 with another person in literally years. But, if I’m not mistaken, this means the primal isn’t “account bound” so much as it is YOU are not in a GROUP when it drops.
A fun curiosity but surely nothing more than that. Who would give up their first seasonal primal unless they’re cookie botting for someone else?
In which case, as the primal dropped whilst you were solo, that’s why it’s non-tradeable, not because it’s your first one of the season.
Loot can only be traded between heroes that were in the same party, and in the same game instance, at the time the item(s) dropped, for up to two hours in-game time from the time it dropped.
If the others cancel the GR invite, they’ll still be in the game, and in the party, just not in the GR instance.
I guess question is if they other drops from the rift can be shared, or if it’s only the primal.
Which means any gear that drops in the GR instance can only be shared with players who were in the GR instance when it dropped, i.e. not the three players that are in the open-world / not in the GR.
Nope. Only the guaranteed primal is restricted, other regular loot is not.

And yes, it’s just a “fun fact”, not that it matters much.
I guess it’s to prevent farming primals with alts?
This is probably the reason and it make sense.
Although in practice it wouldn’t be worthwhile as you would need dozens if not hundreds of alt accounts to get a few worthwhile Primals.
that is my suspicion. And I suspect that the primal that drops from that GR clear can be shared with your party.
OK…so doing a GR solo, whilst your party members cancel the GR invite allows you to share everything other than the guaranteed primal with your party members…
I guess…and now only if Blizzard got off its lazy behind and applied the same logic to the botters/cheaters that are rampant in the game…
I cannot remember exactly, but I’m pretty sure I could share primals dropped in a solo-in-a-party GR, just not the guaranteed primal.
You see, I’m doing quite a lot of powerleveling, and sometimes it happens when someone asks for a pl, I’m in the process of doing a GR. Before I kill the RG I invite the one who asked for it, wait until he joins the game, then kill the RG and usually share all the loot (yes, including primals, when I have double primal drop unlocked already).
I was referring to the guaranteed primal. I should have been more clearer in my original post!
Yes this true, but you really can keep a item for ever too. Say you get a item and other player is like a friend. He leaves the game before you can give it to them.
You put it on another character that you not using. Then don’t use that character till they play again. The time never runs out. As long you don’t use that character.
Yeah you get a guaranteed primal, but it will be something that your character can’t use too. I have got many times that primal was not for a DH. It was for another character other then the DH.
