Diablo 4 Season 5 bug let players keep Tempering Manuals \u2014 so devs made it a feature Diablo 4Diablo 4 players found their Tempering Manuals from Season 4 thanks to a bug. Blizzard decided to \u201clet it slide,\u201d but warned players not to expect this in the future. Tempering was introduced with the major itemization update in Patch 1.4.0 at the start of Diablo 4 Season 4. This system lets players use Tempering Manuals to learn recipes until the end of the season in the Seasonal Realm. However, as Season 5 started on August 6, players were shocked to find that their Season 4 Tempering Manuals had not been erased, despite being told otherwise. This unexpected carryover meant that players retained their learned recipes, giving them a substantial advantage early in the new season. On Reddit, one player noted, \u201cIt seems tempering manuals from Season 4 have carried over to Season 5. I already have legendary manuals in everything on my level 19 character. Is this intended?\u201d The community echoed this sentiment, with many expressing surprise and curiosity about whether this was an intentional change. Adam Fletcher, Diablo 4\u2019s Global Community Development Director, addressed the Tempering Manual situation on X. He confirmed that the carryover of tempering recipes was not part of the original design. \u201cWe are aware of the reports that new seasonal characters are having their tempering recipes carried over from their last season\u2019s seasonal character. This isn\u2019t the original design or intention, so I wouldn\u2019t expect this for future seasons, but we are letting this one slide for Season 5.\u201d One player humorously commented, \u201cWhen Blizzard does an oopsie, it\u2019s almost never in your favor. Imma take it and run.\u201d Another lamented, \u201crip to everyone that didn\u2019t touch S4,\u201d expressing regret for those who missed out on the unexpected advantage. Season 5, which players believe \u201cfinishes\u201d Diablo 4, adds a ton of new content \u2013 some by mistake and some by design. It also brings back five iconic bosses from Diablo 2, adding a nostalgic touch for long-time fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
