A surprising discovery on Diablo 4's Season 11 Public Test Realm (PTR) has caught the attention of players worldwide. Testers have found that salvaging Mythic items currently yields four Resplendent Sparks instead of the intended single spark - a bug that could theoretically create infinite Mythic items if it went live.
The current PTR implementation has created what players are calling an "infinite crafting exploit." Here's how it works:
Salvaging one Mythic item returns 4 Resplendent Sparks
Crafting a new Mythic item costs only 2 Resplendent Sparks
This creates a 2:1 return ratio, allowing players to double their Mythic items through repeated salvaging and recrafting
A Reddit user captured video evidence showing the unexpected four-spark return from a single Mythic salvage. Our testing confirmed this behavior on the PTR build.
The discovery sparked immediate debate within the Diablo 4 community:
Supportive Voices:
Players praised the increased flexibility for testing Mythic combinations
Many called it "a great addition" that would reduce the grind for perfect items
Critical Perspectives:
Skeptics warned it would "break the entire loot economy overnight"
Concerns emerged about devaluing Mythic items if the bug reached live servers
Most analysts agree this is probably intentional for PTR testing purposes. The current test environment includes several quality-of-life features:
Hundreds of pre-provided Mythic caches for rapid experimentation
Accelerated drop rates for faster build testing
Intentionally broken mechanics to encourage specific testing scenarios
For players looking to acquire Mythic items without waiting for Season 11, MMOMAX offers safe and reliable access to Diablo 4 items and gear to enhance your gameplay experience today.
While this specific mechanic will almost certainly be fixed before Season 11 launches, it's fascinating to imagine a Diablo 4 where players could snowball their way to perfect Mythic items through clever crafting loops. The brief fantasy of unlimited crafting power serves as an exciting glimpse into what could have been - and a reminder of why careful game balance remains essential for Diablo 4's long-term health.
The PTR continues to serve its purpose perfectly: identifying potentially game-breaking issues before they affect the live server population. As Season 11 development continues, players can expect more surprises and discoveries from the testing realm.
