Tome Drop Conflicts & Bugs in Diablo 4 Season 9 – How to Fix Missing Horadric Tomes

If you're grinding Strongrooms in Diablo 4 Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim and wondering why you're not getting Horadric Tomes, you're not alone.

Despite meeting all the requirements—Torment I+ difficulty, Rank 10 Horadric Knowledge, and completing Strongrooms—players are reporting missing Tomes and Arcana from chests that should be dropping them.

Here’s what’s happening, what may be causing it, and how you can avoid wasting valuable runs.


๐Ÿงฉ Common Tome Drop Issues Reported by the Community

  • Tomes not appearing despite full Strongroom clears

  • Missing Arcana even after repeated dungeon completions

  • Loot filters hiding Tome drops

  • Inventory bugs preventing items from being collected

“I've completed a dozen Strongrooms and still no Tome credit. This must be bugged.” – Reddit user
“The Tome dropped but didn’t show up until I checked filters.” – Discord community feedback


✅ How to Fix & Prevent Missing Tomes

Tome Drop Conflicts & Bugs in Diablo 4 Season 9
1. Check Your Loot Filters

Tomes may be filtered out by custom loot settings—especially if you're hiding Common/Normal rarity drops.
๐Ÿ›  Temporarily disable filters during Strongroom runs to avoid this issue.

2. Always Open the Final Strongroom Chest

Even if you’ve maxed out Attunement, you must open the chest manually. Exiting too quickly or skipping loot interactions can block credit.

3. Fully Clear the Room

Incomplete Attunement sequences or ignored shrine trials may prevent Tome eligibility from triggering.

4. Watch Your Inventory Space

If your inventory is full, Tomes may not appear or get skipped silently. Always keep 3–4 slots free before the final chest.


๐Ÿงญ What Blizzard & the Community Are Saying

  • Blizzard acknowledged intermittent drop bugs in recent forums and hotfix notes (source: forums.battle.net).

  • Maxroll and Icy Veins recommend doing Strongroom dungeons with full Attunement on Torment I+ as the most reliable method post-Rank 10.

  • Players on Reddit confirm workarounds by looting carefully and disabling filters.
