In Patch 10.0.7, new 385 item level gear tokens have been added for Cloth, Leather, Mail, and Plate armor types, as well as miscellaneous tokens such as Cloaks, Necklaces, Rings, Trinkets, and Weapons.
These tokens are obtainable from all activities within The Forbidden Reach, even including dropping from non-elite mobs. The tokens are account bound, which means they can be transferred to other characters. This feature provides an excellent opportunity to gear up your main character or alts.
However, clicking on one of the tokens will create a Primal Infused item, these items are soulbound making it unable to be transferred to your other characters. Only the tokens can be traded between characters.
In addition to the Primalist gear tokens, you have the opportunity to obtain an Onyx Annulet, a ring with a 405 item level that can be upgraded to 424 by obtaining Primordial Stones and upgrading them. The ring is similar to the Mechagon Punch Card from Battle for Azeroth.
Further information about the Onyx Annulet ring and Primordial Stones can be found in our Patch 10.0.7 guide on Primordial Stones, Onyx Annulet Ring, and the Zskera Vaults.
Upgrading Primalist Gear to 395/398 Item Level
To enhance the 385 Item Level Primal Infused gear to an item level of 395, you must speak with Researcher Baneflare, who can be found near the Morqut Village flightpath in The Forbidden Reach.
Keep in mind that you will require an Untapped Forbidden Knowledge to upgrade the gear.
It is also possible to increase the item level of your 389 Storm Fury Gear, such as rings, trinkets, and necklaces from Patch 10.0.5, to item level 398.

Final Thoughts
This gear will be a great way for catching your character's item level up whilst exploring the new content in the Forbidden Reach.
It's great that even if you loot tokens that you can't use on your current character, you can send them to your alts, as these tokens are account-bound.
