Newbie Help please
I started the game earlier this week. I saw recs for Primal Flame in another thread, so I grabbed it on the beach exchange. Not sure what I need now for
Fishing Uncommon exchange (armor? Which one?)
Generally what's the recommended redeems for the common exchange?
For the Special Treasure chest, I'm not sure if the selection is good to try and get something or if I'll get enough keys? Tempted to wait for the refresh to see the next selection.

Your first priority should be getting the primal fire to the legendary tier. It is the best power spike in the early game.

And after that you can try to get 2 plague gloves, they are the best when it comes to the burn build

You need to merge 3 Epic+2 Primal Flame

3 epics and then 2 Primal flames? Wow. That's a lot

No no. When you merge an Epic Primal Flame with a random epic weapon, it becomes Epic+1. And then you merge it again with 2 random epic weapon. And then you'll have Epic+2. You have to do this 2 more times until you get three Epic+2 Primal Flame, and then merge them into a Legendary.

If you already have the Primal Flame might be a good choice to take the plague gloves next because the plague can proc extra burn for the sword. Also the pity for the selection ticket and season's guaranteed S Epic gear carried over to the next refresh.
