Undying Hatred Unique Jewel Permanently Deleted After Fourth Desecrate Attempt

My Undying Hatred unique jewel vanished completely after the fourth “Desecrate” crafting attempt — no warning, no error, just gone.

Details:

Character: [Sister of Perpetual Desync]

League: [Rise of the Abyssal]

Location: [Shrine Hideout]

Timestamp: [6:05pm + EST]

Steps to Reproduce:

Obtain an Undying Hatred unique jewel.

Place it in inventory (not socketed).

Use the “Desecrate” crafting interaction (the one that normally modifies jewels) — works fine for the first three attempts.

On the fourth attempt, the jewel is instantly destroyed instead of being modified.

Expected Result: Either the jewel should be modified (if intended) or the game should block the action with a “Cannot modify unique jewels” message.

Actual Result: The jewel is deleted from the game without warning.

Notes:

This seems to happen because the crafting method is designed for rare jewels, but the game still allows it to be applied to unique.

No rollback or stash recovery occurred — the jewel is permanently gone.

Player Impact: This isn’t just a minor inconvenience — Undying Hatred is a chase unique that can take hours, days, or even weeks to acquire. Losing it instantly to an undocumented interaction feels punishing and undermines player trust in the crafting system. If this bug isn’t fixed, it could lead to more high-value item losses, frustration, and players avoiding certain crafting mechanics entirely.

Request: Please confirm if this is intended behavior or a bug. If it’s a bug, consider restoring lost jewels and adding a safeguard to prevent this interaction.

Wish I had read this 5 minutes ago, same thing just happened to me. I take it there has been no response from the Dev team?

Undying Hate now has a keyworded description for Unstable Desecration, clarifying that Preserved Cranium currency items have an increasing chance to destroy the item.

Their response was to explain what this word means. It isn't a bug.
