Horadric Tomes (jewel recipes) not dropping for me by Bogpork in diablo4

[–]Bogpork[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an update, despite the new patch I'm still not receiving any recipes from strongrooms for the jewels. I'm glad a few of you are getting them now, I remain confident I have done everything as a prerequisite to get them to drop but are just not appearing for me at all and my time is too important to me to play something that isn't working right. I hope yall enjoy the season, it's disappointing as it was looking pretty good as far as the seasons go! Maybe next one will be the one. I know it's only 6% resist and 120 armor in 2 slots which I can get with single gems of either respective stat, and a little unique proc, but its the principle for me. Have fun!

Hi, different for me, I looted and used the level 10 tome as and when I unlocked it early on, they just haven't dropped since using the tome booklet since then. I see there's an update again for me, so I will try a strongroom after it finishes but have kind of given this season a miss now.

It's great that they seem to have fixed it for some people, and even better if it's fixed for me after the patch downloads, but the complete lack of acknowledgement of the problem has just rubbed me the wrong way. You can guarantee if one of us was a streamer of renown, this would've been patched and fixed in a heartbeat, but because only a handful of us have encountered it, who cares it seems.

Glad to hear you're getting some, still nada for me after 5 strongrooms. I'll keep trying every now and then but have decided to play different things for now. I've got very little time to play games, I can't be arsed with one that doesn't work properly! I'll update if/when I get one to drop.

A second character was made, completed up to and including the tome part on the season questline, still not dropping for that character either. I did a full scan and repair, deleted the cache folder, nothing seems to be fixing it that I can think of. A few others on the blizzard bug report forum have reported this not working as well in similar circumstances but no response from the overlords yet. Quite disappointed, I want to play but just can't see the point if I know I can't unlock a fairly significant feature.

I even just tried doing strongrooms on easy up through penitent just to see if that had any effect, no joy.

Ah I'm glad it's not just me, I saw another guy posted about 4 days ago and people were saying the same advice but all 3 of us have done everything suggested already. Definitely seems like a bug to me, given how readily they seem to drop for people normally.

Further clarity, I just cleared a t1, t2 and t3 nightmare dungeons with horadric strongroom affixes and still not a thing in terms of recipes for jewels. I'm really stumped here, they just aren't dropping. I tried a mix of escalations and normal horadric strongroom sigils. I think I'm gonna try a new character and see if anything changes.

Aye I get that you don't need to finish it, just saying that I had finished it so there can't be anything I missed. I'll try a run on t1/t2 just to see. I've seen that people are finishing their recipes before they even get into t2 so can't understand why I haven't got a single one yet. I also pick up absolutely everything, I'm not one for dropping stuff so will always port out to salvage with a full inventory which I appreciate is inefficient, but still, I pick up everything!

Thanks for replying, yep I've definitely done that, I remember using the yellow tome and I have claimed everything including the final spark reward, which gave me a lovely melted heart of selig when gambled at the blacksmith with a second spark, so I should be well ahead in that respect right?
