In case this happens, players should take the duplicate to the nearest Occultist and extract the Aspect for future use. The power will be stored in a dedicated inventory tab. Extracted Aspects can also be Diablo 4 Items stored in the Stash.

If a duplicate item rolls with an inferior version of an Aspect, then players should take it to the Blacksmith instead for salvaging. This is one of the ways to obtain Coiling Wards, Abstruse Sigils, and Baleful Fragments, all of which are used to upgrade legendary gear or imprint Aspects onto rare gear.

Unique affixes cannot be salvaged, which sort of complicates things. There will be times when a Unique will drop with a stronger Unique power but with weaker stat affix rolls. In this case, players will just have to gauge which of the two is more important and bite the bullet. Uniques can still be salvaged, though.

Diablo 4 is set to debut its first season on July 20, and to better prepare the community, Blizzard has revealed the different Malignant Heart types and where to farm them. Despite having a tremendously successful launch, Diablo 4 has caught its fair share of criticism, and players are hoping the developers address some of its major issues as soon as possible. Season of the Malignant in Diablo 4 not only represents the first step towards that goal, but it is also an extension of the base game itself.

For Diablo 4 players, it's back to square one in Season of the Malignant. They'll start with an empty stash, no currency, with only their knowledge to guide them, as they attempt to climb the endgame in Diablo 4 yet again. Though the accompanying patch is also bringing new Legendary Aspects and Uniques, the featured stars of the season are its Malignant Hearts. Comparable to Legendary Gems from Diablo 3, Malignant Hearts will give characters powerful bonuses when slotted into a piece of jewelry (provided the socket color matches).

The official Diablo account on Twitter posted the four types of Malignant Hearts, confirming their number, as well as where to find each type. The total amount of Malignant Hearts coming in Season of the Malignant is 32, and given that there are four types, it can be presumed that there are eight Malignant Hearts per type. The first category coming to Diablo 4 is Vicious Hearts, providing potent Offensive bonuses. Conversely, Brutal Hearts provide a Defensive bonus, while Devious Hearts deal in Utility powers. The final type is called a Wrathful Heart, and the developers have previously explained them as more powerful and rarer than the other three.

Though Blizzard has stated that players will be able to target-farm Malignant Hearts in Season 4, it seems that they will need to look for specific Malignant Monsters as well. Some fans have expressed concern that the Malignant Hearts in Diablo 4 are layered in too much RNG compared to Legendary Gems, as the grind also entails looking for Infested rolls on best-in-slot jewelry while making sure that the new socket is in the correct color.

Curiously, the infographic released by Blizzard reveals that players will also be able to craft Malignant Hearts via Cormond's wagon. One of the biggest criticisms of Diablo 4 has been its lack of crafting at launch, especially coming off the heels of Diablo 3's Blacksmith. The seasonal storytelling of Diablo 4 will also kick off on July 20, and fans will either have to skip the campaign or fully complete it in order to enjoy the next chapter in the world of Sanctuary.

Diablo 4 players have discovered a new bug affecting progress in the Helltides. Since its launch, Diablo 4 has faced its fair share of struggles with bugs. While some Diablo 4 bugs have resulted in unusual situations, other bugs have produced circumstances able to impact players' gameplay negatively.

In the first few days after launch, Diablo 4 disabled a bugged sidequest preventing players from getting 100% in Scosglen, the home of the Druids. In this area, players must find a bandit named Darcel and recover a stolen item, but the bug caused multiple copies of the character to appear. A few days after, another bug appeared, this time preventing the Druid from receiving Unique items, something Diablo 4 fixed not long after. Recently another bug that appeared kept Diablo 4 players from destroying a barrier required to complete one of the game's quests.

This time, Diablo 4 players found a D4 materials bug when entering the Cellar inside a Helltide that removes all Abberant Cinders from the inventory. Helltides are Diablo 4 events that provide an extra challenge by putting random regions under strong demonic influence for approximately one hour. Reddit user the_plumbus_among_us shared a video demonstrating the bug, with their Cinders dropping from 302 to zero in moments. In the comments of the_plumbus_among_us' post, one user revealed that they lost around 350 Abberant Cinders in a few seconds when entering the bugged Cellar. During Helltides, Lilith's demons get stronger and can drop Abberant Cinders when defeated. Using several Abberant Cinders, Diablo 4 players open chests that reward them with rare items.
