You all know that next Season will arrive with Altar. If you want to unlock it right away in non-Season or PTR, remember to stock up some Ancient Puzzle Ring, Staff of Herding, Rank 125 Whispers and hold onto salvaging a few trash Primals to unlock potion powers.
I bet you are all stocked on Ramaladni’s already, and PTR bags from Djank will have them so that’s unnecessary to mention. You can have Dungeon Set pages easily at any time since I reckon you have a all five Sets for one class stocked already somewhere. You can grab a Petrified Scream at any time and crafting an Ancient Hellfire Amulet or Reaper’s Wraps are just a matter of time.
I sure hope we don’t need a staff of herding to unlock the altar every single season. I’ve got a couple in my non-seasonal stash, but having to do it every time would be really stupid.
They need to change up the unlock materials from time to time. PTR doesn’t start until the 5th, do we even know what you’ll need this time?
I really wish we had some official confirmation as to whether unlocking the altar in seasonal will transfer the unlock to non-season. (ie. unlocking the altar in S30, when the season ends the altar in non-season would be unlocked).
Additionally, confirmation if the non-season altar will remain unlocked after future seasons end. (ie. S31 ends and off-season altar gets reset to needing to be fully unlocked again).
It would be most helpful if the PTR included a simulated season end, so we can see how it affects the altar’s non-season state.
Yeah, I’ll wait for that. Do the altar in S30 and then finish it off (SoH and primals) in NS for completionism.
I have mats for two SoH in NS, no need to sacrifice my original Infernal Staff from vanilla.
Unless there is a juicy award for finishing the altar again I won’t do that in season.
Confirmation would be nice, but I can also just wait to the end of Season 30 and find out. I basically don’t play nonseasonal anyway, except for occasionally chasing the odd achievement.
Anything extracted in a Seasonal Kanai’s Cube transfers over to your non-Season Kanai’s Cube at the end of a Season. When the next Season starts you will have to find Kanai’s Cube again and extract Legendary Powers.
There’s virtually no chance of this. The altar is shared across the game mode; it’s not character specific, So if:
The altar is unlocked in NS
But it’s locked in season when it ends
I can’t see the locked season altar transferring to, thus reseting, the NS altar.
If it did, it would take the altar away from all the NS chars who had nothing to do with the season.
As for an unlocked seasonal altar transferring to and unlocking NS, who knows. I suspect no since, again, it’s a game mode thing, not a character thing.
Thx. I will likely leave the altar alone in NS and see what happens after the end of S30. I do have the mats to unlock in NS, but would rather not waste them if the unlock transfers over.
