Diablo 4 Urn of Bargaining Bug: Increased Vendor & Repair Costs

Attention all Diablo 4 players! There's a bug that will make you spend a lot more Gold at Vendors, including crafting and re-rolling affixes when you choose the Urn of Bargaining in the Season Blessings tab...

This article explains what the Urn of Bargaining bug in Diablo 4 does and how you can save a lot of Gold by not selecting it.

Diablo 4 Urn of Bargaining Season Blessings Bug

Using Smoldering Ashes earned via the Diablo 4 Season 1 Battle Pass, players can select which Season Blessings to upgrade. There are five Season Blessings in total, in the form of Urns. Unfortunately, the Urn of Bargaining (Boost to the amount of Gold earned from Vendor sales) seems to be bugged.

As reported by WoWHead and first spotted by Twitch streamer DatMods, the Urn of Bargaining bug in Diablo 4 Season 1 also unintentionally increases the Gold cost for a variety of Vendor functions, from repairing at the Blacksmith to re-rolling item Affixes and more! Check out the example/proof below.

It is important to note that Blizzard did not fix this Season Blessing bug in Diablo 4's latest update (patch 1.1.0c). We believe this should be fixed via a server-side hotfix soon or, at the very least, in update 1.1.1, expected to release in early August.

When Blizzard fixes this bug, we will update our article to let you know it is now safe to once again spend Smoldering Ashes on the Urn of Bargaining. For now, stay clear and rather select one of the other Season Blessings or lose quite a bit of Gold...the choice is yours.
