A frustrating Diablo 4 glyph upgrade not appearing bug is preventing players from gaining precious XP for their glyphs after completing a Nightmare Dungeon. Normally, after using a Nightmare Sigil to make a specific dungeon more difficult and then completing it, a podium with a bubble around it appears that grants extra experience points to your glyph of choice. This is vital for increasing the strength of glyphs on the paragon board, especially for endgame builds like the Ice Shards Sorcerer and the Storm Wolf Druid. Here are solutions you can try to fix the glyph upgrade not spawning glitch in Diablo 4.
How to fix Diablo 4 glyph upgrade not appearing bug
To fix the Diablo 4 glyph upgrade not appearing bug, you need to make sure you don’t use a specific skill when killing the final dungeon boss, notably the Barrage skill for the Rogue class.
Users who have tried testing and troubleshooting this glitch report both on the Diablo 4 Reddit and the official Blizzard forums for the game report that the Rogue’s Barrage skill is causing the glyph upgrade podium to go missing. This bug has also happened with different skills for other classes, but at the moment it’s unclear which skills might trigger it.
So if you are experiencing this problem, we recommend figuring out which skill you activated to kill a Nightmare Dungeon boss and seeing if there’s a pattern with the glyph upgrade not activating. As a temporary fix, you can begin using skills that don’t seem to cause the bug, or change your build altogether. It’s certainly a lot of work to make an entirely different build for farming purposes, but it may be worth the time.
Unfortunately, this particular issue has not been addressed by Blizzard, despite the fact that players have reported the problem close to the game’s release date of June 6. We hope that the developer will provide a hotfix or patch soon.
