    NPC spoiled the 4.3 trial!

    So I won't spoil what the trial is myself but it was spoiled for me due to an NPC so this is a word of warning if you don't want the same to happen to you.

    I generally check quality of life stuff first in a new patch and this time I wanted to check to see what the new Doyen's Clan Marks could get me and if I should farm some. So I went to Eschina (Primal Gear Exchange) and in her categories blatantly showed who the boss of the trial was.

    I'm a little mad because it denies me my reaction to figuring it out in the story.

    To be completely fair, you had to know it would have been listed under every other primal weapon. This and any others really are doing it to themselves at that point.

    For me it wasn't even the vendor. The crafting list spoiled it because it had the Wind-up [PRIMAL NAME] and the description was pretty spoilery too lol

    Frankly, it wouldn't have bothered me if they didn't make such a big deal about trying to keep it secret. They got people's hopes up yet left multiple ways to spoil the secret in game. If they weren't going to fix the loose ends, they should have just not said anything and not hype up the "secret".

    This is why I minimized discord, turned off the chat for potential spoilers there and started doing msq on a job of choice sap. Your own fault for visiting the vendor that offers primal weapons.

    All things considered, if youve been paying attention to the story (and I do mean pay attention, every single detail, from the items in scenes to the theme of the expansion), the primal boss wasnt really a surprise.


    Granted, I also avoided the reach like the plague during my msq playthrough. Kinda knew the npc would have the name of the primal boss, because all of the primal boss names are plainly listed in that menu.

    It just depends on who is wielding what.

    Then just do it before checking all the names of everything else like gear and MB items gee. You spoiled yourself

    Imo, the primal's name isn't a spoiler. Who BECAME the primal is much more important
