Diablo 4: “I lack motivation” – You can save your “destroyed” items, but according to fans, it leads to even more frustration

With Vessel of Hatred, Diablo 4 has once again tinkered with crafting and items. With one change, you can now counteract a few unfortunate attempts that could make a strong item practically useless. The idea is good, but players are still annoyed: Harden is still the biggest problem in the game.

What is meant by “destroyed” items?

• Since Season 4, you can harden and complete your items in Diablo 4 – that is, influence which secondary values the item has through crafting.
• To get the most out of it, high-tier players want to strengthen and continually improve the right values. However, this is tied to luck.
• If that doesn’t work and the wrong values are strengthened, the item is considered “bricked” or “destroyed” by the players: It offers no improvement for the current build.

This is how you can save your items: With Vessel of Hatred, you can earn a “Scroll of Restoration” by completing the new co-op dungeon in the endgame. This scroll resets the otherwise limited hardening attempts.

This scroll is a consumable item. You can only use it once per item and it is consumed in the process. So you double your chances for the right rolls for your items.

Although the idea was initially well received, the scroll now causes additional frustration. Because if you get unlucky twice, players lose the motivation.

“Why is that only once per item?”

A user shares on Reddit his opinion about the scroll. He writes: Harden is still the biggest problem in the game. While trying to harden a strong item with a large affix, he “bricked” it.

To save the item, he then used a scroll – only to be unlucky again in hardening. The user writes: “I was looking forward to playing later. Now I don’t even have the motivation to log in.”

Thousands of fans agree with this opinion, and hundreds comment. Players discuss why there is even such a limitation on hardening and why it can’t be completely lifted. RNG has no place in crafting anyway.

Many agree that there should be some limitations – otherwise, there is no motivation to further farm. However, the current solution is more likely to irritate them.
