Another fresh Diablo 4 Season 12 complaint is starting to make the rounds, and this one hits a pretty painful part of the endgame loop: crafted Mythic gear. A new post on Blizzard’s official Diablo IV bug-report forum says crafted Mythic Uniques can come out as non-Ancestral, with the player claiming two crafted Shroud of False Death items both showed as item level 800, one-Greater-Affix Mythic Uniques, but not as Ancestral Mythic Unique items.
That would already be frustrating on its own, but the report adds a second problem: the player says those crafted items also did not grant credit for the Season Journey Rank 6 objective “Fabled Power.” In other words, the complaint is not just about item labeling or rarity presentation. It is also about progression potentially failing to recognize the crafted Mythic correctly.
What the current report actually says
The Blizzard forum post is very specific. The player says they crafted two copies of Shroud of False Death, and both were produced as Mythic Uniques that were still iLVL 800 and 1-star GA, but not flagged as Ancestral Mythic Unique. The same post says that because of that, the player was not getting credit for the Season Journey Rank 6 task.
That is the key reason this story is worth watching. If the issue is real and not just a weird tooltip quirk, then it potentially affects both gearing and seasonal progression at the same time. A player can spend rare materials crafting a top-tier item and still end up stuck on a Season Journey requirement that should, at least from their perspective, already be complete.
Why this matters even if the report count is still small
Right now, this does not look like a massive confirmed community-wide outbreak. In the public sources reviewed here, the strongest evidence is still a fresh single bug-report thread on Blizzard’s forum, not a giant pile of identical reports. The Diablo IV forum index does, however, show the thread as a current active bug report posted on March 22, 2026, which is enough to treat it as a real fresh player complaint worth tracking.
And because it involves crafted Mythic Uniques, even a smaller report can get attention quickly. Mythic crafting sits at the high-value end of Diablo 4 item progression, so players are naturally going to pay attention when someone says a crafted Mythic may not count the way it should. That last sentence is an inference based on the item’s role in Diablo 4 progression, not an official Blizzard statement.
The Season Journey angle is what makes this sting
The “non-Ancestral” wording is eye-catching, but the real sting may be the Fabled Power part. If a crafted Mythic fails to count for a Season Journey step, that changes the story from “weird item state” to “possible progress blocker.” Based on the current report, that appears to be exactly what the player is alleging.
That also makes this a cleaner article angle than a generic “players are unhappy” piece. There is a specific item, a specific crafting result, and a specific seasonal task that allegedly fails afterward. For Diablo 4 bug coverage, that level of detail usually makes a report more readable and more useful to other players trying to figure out whether the same thing just happened to them. This is an editorial inference based on the available report.
No public Blizzard fix is visible yet
In the sources reviewed here, there is no visible Blizzard reply in the thread and no indication on the forum index that the issue has already been officially resolved. The post appears as a current bug report, but not one with a public fix note attached.
That means the safest framing right now is straightforward: a Diablo 4 player has publicly reported that crafted Mythic Uniques can come out non-Ancestral and may fail to grant Season Journey credit, but Blizzard has not publicly confirmed the cause in the source reviewed here.
One to watch, not one to overstate
This is exactly the kind of Season 12 story that deserves attention without fake certainty. The report is fresh, specific, and tied to a high-value system, but it is still early. So for now, this should be treated as a player-reported issue, not a confirmed systemic Blizzard-documented bug hitting everyone.
Still, if more players begin reporting the same crafted Mythic behavior, or if Blizzard acknowledges it in a follow-up reply or patch note, this could turn into a much bigger endgame problem very quickly. And for anyone sitting on materials and planning a big Mythic craft, that is enough to make the current report hard to ignore.
