I have been gone for awhile now… (2 + years) I come back to find out about these Primal Ancients items. Ok, cool. So I’ve solo’ed GR 70 with with a Non-Ladder character, 2 characters I created the same time can get these drops. But now I read that there’s seperate unlocks for Non-Ladder. WHAT THE HELL… What exactly are these unlocks? The patch notes from the Primal release days don’t mention them. Possible Answers are more than welcome here. lol
You just need to finish a GR 70, solo, in time, to unlock primals. Need to do it once ever on non season to unlock them there, then once per season to unlock them for that specific season alone.
As for what a primal is, they’re perfectly rolled ancients basically. Max on all stats/damage. Now if they roll with the stats you want, that’s a different question. Very low roll chance, 1 in 1000 legendaries is the believed chance. They have a red beacon instead of the normal orange, and a special icon on the map.
Ok. So every new season turn, I take my NL chars, and go at GR70 and it’s done again for that season. And that’s it?
Yes. Just need to do it once ever for non season, then once per season to unlock them for every character.
They sound like a HUGE PITA to actually even get one
Gr70 is painfully easy at this point. I’ve done a 105 and I am horribad at this game.
They are. Most are usually junk. Instead concentrate on getting a good Ancient.

No. You only need to do it once on non season for all your non season characters to have them unlocked. For every new season, your seasonal characters will not have them unlocked until you successfully complete a Gr70 during that season with a seasonal character.
I won’t need to worry then. I haven’t played a new season in ages. They’ll have to come up with some seriously awesome stuff to get my interest again… That’ll never happen. lol
Do you have the max stash tabs? This season rewards are 2 pets - Dream of Piers (fiery unicorn) and a treasure goblin (?).
Not really. For the non-seasonal unlock, once it’s done, it’s done. Your characters in non-seasonal will always have access to primals from that point on. Always.
The “each season” unlock only pertains to seasonal (what you call ladder) characters. Those have to unlock it each season as they’re starting fresh even if they are rebirthed.
So don’t fret about the non-seasonal unlock. It’s there forever. Just go about your game and enjoy yourself. If you aren’t interested in seasons, you’re good to go for primals.
However, hardcore and softcore do have separate unlocks. So if your non-seasonal character is softcore and you want primals in hardcore, you need to complete GR 70 in hardcore in under 15 minutes. Once it’s unlocked, it’s permanently unlocked, just like softcore’s primals are.
I have a crab-lookin thing that has teeth lol. It’s cool. I mean seriously awesome as far as gear. or new gems, real stuff. A Better PVP arena maybe. lol
Also note:
- In non-Season, once you unlock Primal items, they’re unlocked for all your non-Season Characters, as others stated. You can check to see if you’ve unlocked Primal items by looking at your Blood Shard Cap. If it’s 1200 or higher they’re unlocked.
- In Seasons, once you successfully complete a Greater Rift 70 or higher Solo, you will get The Primal Soul-o Achievement and a guaranteed Primal drop from the Rift Guardian to confirm unlocking Primal items. Everything you earn in Seasons is transferred to non-Season when the Season ends. You receive Stash Tabs immediately, for both, Season and non-Season.

The stash tab granted by obtaining Conqueror is granted immediately to all game modes, not at the end of the season.

Sorry. You’re correct. I was just trying to keep my comments simple. My point being that: What you earn in Seasons will end up in non-Season.
I’ll edit my previous post for clarification.
