Primal Ancient Legendary items are the most powerful items in Diablo 3, and with Season 28 on the horizon, players will be excited to know there will be additional ways to acquire them. In this guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know about how to craft Primal Ancient Legendary items in Diablo 3 Season 28.
How to Craft Primal Ancient Legendary Items
To craft Primal Ancient Legendary items in Diablo 3 Season 28, you can place a Legendary item inside Kanai’s Cube and transmute it using the Curiosity of Lorath Nahr recipe. The resulting item will be a Primal Ancient Legendary version of the item you transmuted.
Salvaging a Primal Ancient Legendary item at the Blacksmith now gives players 55 Primordial Ashes. Using those Primordial Ashes, players can visit Kanai’s Cube and use the Curiosity of Lorath Nahr (Upgrade Legendary Item) recipe, which costs 1 Legendary item and 100 Primordial Ashes, to transmute an item into a Primal Ancient Legendary.
While this may seem somewhat overpowered at first glance, players can only equip one crafted Primal Ancient Legendary item. Attempting to equip multiple will get you a message that says, “You cannot equip more than one of this item.” You can equip more Primals if you find them, though.
Moreover, with the new Altar of Rites system in Season 28, Diablo 3 players can also get double the primal item drops. If you visit the Altar, the bottom-most Seal reads, “When a primal item drops, a second random primal item drops as well.”
Previously, Season 27 introduced Angelic items into Diablo 3, which was an easy way to Sanctify items, effectively making them Primal Ancient Legendary items, and it seems this new update is a way to keep that system in the game.
Any Diablo 3 player will tell you that collecting Primals is a grind, so the ability to craft them and have two Primals drop at once when you get lucky enough to find one is a game-changer. Granted, you’ll still need to find some early on, but at least you can re-craft the Primals to be perfect.
