Rather it was just made BOA.
That would have been a simpler solution and not required a third-party to facilitate the transfer.

I would like to say this is awesome, but the main thing we all need more than this is the Primal Focus/Infusion and concentrated things for the 395-405 and 408-418 item level gear.
It sucks going from a tank that gets invited all the time and very easily to a pure DPS alt that cannot tank or heal, getting declined both literally and figuratively 370+ times because certain dungeons still have gear pieces you’d like to get to upgrade, too. We need the primal things to be BoA moreso than the chaos things to be BoA, or the crafted gear needs to be looked at again and re-done.
Seeing as how the droprates for a person to get the gear they need from keys is very low, I mean it’s a 20% chance to even get a drop and then even lower for it to be the exact item(s) you need, it’s very terrible trying to gear up pure DPS toons, especially coming from either a tank or a healer or in some cases both.

Any specific reason for the pointless 25% tax? This is even more expensive than shadowlands. For an “alt friendly” expac this seems extremely not “Alt friendly”. Just sayin’

But I can’t play the character I want, at the level I want, without gear that is now being short-changed to get. I already “earned” that currency, which was very hard to acquire in any significant amount to begin with, and is also gated with a now incredibly-hard-to-acquire Spark. Y’all still haven’t learned how to make your game feel fun and rewarding. Everything has to come with punishment. These decisions are meant to curb the most excessive play, but they fall hardest on those with the least time.

And additionally, I’m required to waste precious minutes of my rare play time (as a parent) by visiting a specific vendor and mailing items around.
PLEASE, in an upcoming patch, make 90+% of all currencies account-wide, in an actually-account-wide currency tab. It would save development time! Win-win!
My guess is this also had to do with items being tradeable (or through the crafting order system) to allow others to craft them. Currencies don’t work that way, although I’m sure they could be updated to, which may be worth it or not depending on how currencies vs items and the crafting system is coded.

This is great news thank you. Does blizzard have an update or hot fix planned for the love is in the air event for the mount drops?

Thank you for the very timely response and adjustments within the game keep up the good work!!
I’ll counter by saying the best way for this game to be “alt friendly” is to forgo the “tax” and let us gear our alts so that we CAN play them.
At the very least, losing 25% is not a good conversion rate by any stretch of the imagination.
Also this:
Is pretty much spot on.
Might want to run this one back up the chain, Kaivax. I think Primals should just be BOA and be available to alts instead of this weird vendor/exchange rate thing.

You can earn primal chaos on your alts.
There’s no reason there can’t be multiple uses for the various types of players.
Especially druids when they play kitty, boomie, guardian, and resto.
I love this change but could we please also have the same option for Artisan’s Mettle?

Please add Primal Chaos to normal and heroic dungeons. If not, you are 100% rewarding M+ and Heroic raiders only! The rest of us that only do queued content are left blowing in the wind! Theres no other way to get Primal Chaos except farming dirt piled and packs, that RARELY have a Primal Chaos in them.
Looks like just another reward for the players participating in the E-Sport part of the game, this will give them a HUGE had up with their alts, allowing them to run even more characters through your E-Sport content.
So this benefits not the players that spend hours a day PLAYING in the game, but it rewards the ones playing just 2-3 parts of the game that can be spammed non stop.
There should have been a change to help the world players get a head start in gearing their alts, you know, the ones that will have to grind the renown over and over again.
you can already spend them on potions.
artisan’s mettle can already be shared with alts - what exactly do you want to do with the mettle?
if they did this you would only get one a dungeon anyway. This does nothing for me since I don’t do dungeon content, however, if people are happy with one guaranteed I don’t care if they do this.

This expansion should be alt friendly like making all other systems such as rep/renown account wide as well so others can play their alts without having to start over on like their rep grinds or renown grinds when they haven’t unlocked any other the lvl 10 or 20 catch up mechanics. Make this game alt friendly finally, like people have been trying to get you to hear feedback from on these forums for years now.

Wow, weekly balance changes, a ret rework mid xpac, and now this change too. Is blizz…listening for a change? Crazy, keep it up.
Why is there no catalyst charge catch-up for our alts in Dragonflight? Be consistent with making this expansion alt friendly.

You realize for many casual players the rep and renown IS the endgame right?
That casual world content.
If they make that all account wide then they may as well make gear account wide for the people who focus on end game.
Or just make it so you can be all classes on 1 character.

Solid change, good job Blizz.
There is one, the charges you get on any character are also put on any current or future alts to a max of 6. And 6 is plenty to get 5 piece bonus. And then you gain more as you go and you still need to acquire the gear to convert in the first place.
