Is Primal weapons being unattainable really true classic?

IMHO no, not at all. I remember almost everyone's twink on my server having primal weapons (it's why they later added a level requirement for them).

Discuss ITT: were Primal weapons really rare and prestigious or is this hearsay

There's no way, it was a very slow grind for Primals. We were the 2nd guild on the server to get enough ST keys on Live, which meant that the Sleeper was immediately released before we got any chance at dragons. Losing out on dragons was a huge blow to gearing up, it adds weeks and weeks of what should be an easy source of upgrades for NToV.

Now, once they revamped ST and you had Ancients to kill, yes, people had their primals. But from Velious until ~month or three into Luclin, they were very rare and bagged only once into NToV+.

Luclin launching shortly afterwards made these items significantly less impactful in the traditional timeline of the game.

It took a while for Luclin itemization to get there, it was weeks before Ssra Temple even had drops.
