Season 1 is less than a week away and there’s a few notes from Pez clarifying how altar progression will carry over for characters. It is accumulative it appears.
The best advice is to log in with all your characters to make sure everything is lumped together and you get the max benefits.
Eternal Realm = Normal and Hardcore characters that are non-season. Seasonal Realm begins 7/20 w/ Season 1.
Normal characters on the Eternal Realm will have map/altar progression carry over to normal characters in the Seasonal Realm.
HC characters on the Eternal Realm will have map/altar progression carry over to HC characters in the Seasonal Realm.
HC characters must be alive w/ that progression to carry over. Normal / HC only feed into each other. Not both. They are separate buckets.
After the 1.1.0 patch hits or anytime during the season you can log in with your most progressed character in Eternal Realm to carry that map/altar progress into your seasonal character. But what happens if 1 character has 10 altars in Scosglen and another has 5 in Kehjistan?
You can log on both after 1.1.0 hits and you will then have 15 collected altars on your seasonal character as it is additive.
Completing the whole map/altars before 1.1.0 will be a nice boost for those that put in the work.

Its actually quite ridiculous how many times blizzard has to clarify things about season 1 to players. Player smarts just don’t exist anymore i guess…
I dunno, it can be confusing for new players to the series so I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry and avoid a load of complaints about X and Y when the Season launches.
