‘Infinite Stock Glitch’: Diablo 4 Season 14 Players Discover Kabashan Merchant Bug Printing Unlimited Legendary Runes and Horadric Seals
UNLIMITED RUNES, GEMS & HORADRIC SEALS: NEW MERCHANT BUG IS PRINTING ENDGAME MATERIALS IN DIABLO 4! 🔥💎
Found yourself broke on high-tier Legendary Runes or Gems? Theorycrafters have uncovered a massive inventory quantity exploit inside Kurast Undercity’s hidden Kabashan Merchant that lets you buy the exact same item infinitely!
By specing into the “Bobo Day” and “Gutterflame” War Plan nodes to spawn Portal Pranksters, players are finding bugged merchant slots with a “Stock: 2” count—allowing them to buy endless copies of Horadric Seals and Mythic Runes until their gold runs out…
Learn how to unlock the Kabashan Merchant and trigger the bugged stock count before Blizzard deploys an immediate hotfix 👇
In the high-demand economy of Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred Season 14, acquiring high-tier Legendary Runes, Flawless Gems, and Horadric Seals usually demands endless dungeon farming, boss rotations, or expensive trade forum purchases.
However, a newly discovered merchant inventory exploit inside the Kurast Undercity has drastically altered the farming landscape. Revealed by content creator DcSK, the bug involves the hidden Kabashan Merchant. Under specific War Plan conditions, the merchant’s shop listings can glitch, displaying items with a fixed stock count of “2” that never decreases upon purchase—allowing players to buy identical high-value runes, gems, and seals infinitely as long as their gold reserves hold out.
The discovery has triggered widespread discussion across r/diablo4, trade Discord servers, and YouTube, with players rushing to stock up on crafting materials before Blizzard Entertainment deploys a background hotfix.
Unlocking the Kabashan Merchant: War Plan Requirements
Unlike standard town vendors, the Kabashan Merchant does not spawn passively in Kurast Undercity. Accessing the vendor requires specific pathing within the Kurast Undercity War Plan Activity Skill Tree:
The “Bobo Day” Node (Mandatory): This essential node causes the Kabashan Merchant to spawn in the final boss chamber upon completing a run—provided the player encounters and slays a Portal Prankster during the descent.
The “Gutterflame” Node (Prankster Maximizer): To maximize spawn rates for Portal Pranksters, players spec into Gutterflame. This perk gives every activated beacon inside the Undercity a percentage chance to summon a Portal Prankster.
The Speed-Run Strategy: Once a single Portal Prankster is slain, the spawn condition for the Kabashan Merchant is locked. Players can bypass all remaining beacons, tribute offerings, and mob density, rushing straight to the final district boss to clear the room and open the merchant’s inventory.
The “Stock Quantity 2” Exploit: How It Works
Under normal gameplay conditions, items listed in the Kabashan Merchant’s inventory carry a stock quantity of “1.” Purchasing a single-stock item immediately removes it from the shop window.
The exploit occurs due to a stock-tracking logic error when an item generates with a baseline quantity of “2”:
Infinite Repurchase Loop: When a player purchases an item showing a stock count of “2” (whether it is a Legendary Rune, high-tier Gem, or Horadric Seal), the game fails to decrement the stock counter. The listing remains fixed at “2” indefinitely.
Gold-Only Bottleneck: As long as the player possesses sufficient Gold, they can click and purchase the exact same item hundreds of times in a single session without the item vanishing from the shop screen.
Rerolling Inventory Pools: The merchant offers one free inventory reroll per run. Subsequent rerolls require Forgotten Souls. If the initial or free-reroll shop listings do not display high-value items with the glitched “Stock: 2” property, players simply exit the instance and start a new Undercity run.
“When an item appears with a stock quantity of two, buying it doesn’t reduce its stock,” DcSK explained during his technical demonstration. “You can keep purchasing the exact same legendary rune or gem repeatedly until you run out of gold or decide to stop. It’s essentially an infinite stock glitch.”
Market Impact and Material Duping Concerns
The ability to repeatedly buy high-tier materials from a single vendor visit is already having noticeable ripple effects across the seasonal economy:
Rune and Crafting Inflation: Players who land glitched listings for top-tier crafting runes or Horadric Seals can instantly satisfy their seasonal crafting needs or flip duplicate runes on trade forums to recover spent Gold.
Gold Drain Necessity: Because every purchase costs standard vendor gold, the exploit acts as a massive sink for raw gold supplies—driving up demand for gold-generating setups like the Golden Horde War Plan node on Corrupted Reaper boss runs.
Hotfix Imminent: Because the exploit explicitly bypasses material scarcity mechanics through inventory state bugs, theorycrafters expect Blizzard’s live-ops team to deploy a server-side hotfix shorting vendor stock logic.
Community Reaction: A Split Among Farmers
The reveal of the Kabashan Merchant bug has drawn mixed responses across the Diablo IV community.
Casual Relief: Players struggling with rare rune drop rates have welcomed the exploit as a temporary shortcut to complete build-defining runewords. “Farming high-tier runes through normal drop rates can take weeks,” noted one user on Reddit. “Being able to buy 20 copies of a core rune off a bugged merchant in 5 minutes is a game-changer.”
Exploit Caution: Veteran crafters and trade moderators have cautioned players against excessive material flipping, warning that rapid market flooding could draw account actions or trade rollbacks if automated anti-cheat systems flag abnormal vendor transaction volumes.
Final Outlook
As Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred Season 14 progresses toward upcoming August PTR testing and September BlizzCon announcements, the Kabashan Merchant bug represents one of the most direct material shortcuts discovered this season.
Players seeking to utilize the “Stock: 2” repurchase loop are advised to spec into the Kurast Undercity War Plan tree and test vendor listings immediately before Blizzard patches the stock-decrementing logic.
