Wisps misinderstanding in community. Mistake on poe website?

Hi,
I have a question abou what wisps type gives what exaclty and is there a mistake on offical path of exile website? I found this info in accouncment:
“ Primal Wisps grant an item rarity bonus to inhabited monsters, Wild Wisps grant an item quantity bonus, and Vivid Wisps cause them to drop currency items. If a monster gets all three types, they'll drop more items of a higher rarity and a lot of currency.”

In other resources information in different:
* Vivid (Yellow) Wisps grant an item quantity bonus.
* Wild (Purple) Wisps grant an item rarity bonus.
* Primal (Blue) Wisps cause them to drop currency items.

So is there a miskate on path of exile website, or other resources are incorrect?
I am now watching poe stream and community have different understanding. Can we get an official reply about this? And should information on poe official website needs to be changed?

Thank you.

Need GGG to clarify. When you mouse over the blue primal wisp in the league mechanic it reads quoted below. Does this mean that the monsters inside the league mechanic drop currency and when you leave it empowers the monsters in the map with the same or different affect?

"Monsters with Primal Wisps are more powerful and have a chance to drop additional Currency Items"

Yeap, need to clarify. For some reson, people thinks that Blue wisps are for currency. About 7 people wrote me this when i was on stream. I dont understand what is the truth anymore, info is different among people and resources.

it does say in game that (primal)blue is for currency, i think the league trailer is outdated and they possibly changed it

maybe this can be explained, from the q&a:

(During the Path of Exile: Affliction Content Reveal it was mentioned that Vivid Wisps were associated with the Primal Huntress and Primal Wisps with the Warden of Eaves, however this has since changed to the above)


is it possible that changed the bonus associated as well

It sure looks like they basically led the entire community astray on league start. I should have hovered my mouse over the wisps apparently, but I assumed they did what they said they did. That explains why I dropped a mirror in a predominantly yellow wisp maps and just shit loads of uniques in purple wisp maps.
