A new Season of Discovery questline has been discovered and reported to us by Wowhead user Geartrix, allowing Goblin and Gnomish Engineers to learn recipes from the other specialization! Goblin and Gnomish Engineers have traditionally been blocked from learning recipes associated with the other Specialization once locked in. This, however, looks to have changed in Phase 3 with the implementation of Engineering Exchange Ticket. After leveling Engineering to 225 and unlocking a Specialization, players will have access to a new quest (Gnomish Solutions/Goblin Solutions) offered by Fizzbizz Coppercoil in the Shimmering Flats in Thousand Needles. For Gnomish Engineers, this quest requires two Gnomish Harm Prevention Belt, while Goblins need to provide 5 Goblin Land Mine. Turning in this quest gives you another — this time to kill Thunderstomp Stegodon in Un'goro Crater for a Thunderstomp Stegodon Horn (Require Gnomish Problems/Require Goblin Problems). Next, you'll need to complete the quest Watering Down the Competition by heading to Hearthglen and finding a Box of Scarlet Dye upstairs in one of the houses next to the bed. Return to the Shimmering Flats once more, and after a few more quests such as Victory Lap for the Gnomes!, you'll be directed to speak with Maximillian «The Greaser» — who will offer the quest Hush Money, which can be completed weekly for an Engineering Exchange Ticket. It appears that it will take eight weeks to earn all available recipes for each Specialization.Maximillian «The Greaser» will then offer you recipes for the opposite specialization — take a look!

For players who have entered the Public Test Realm for Patch 1.4.0, an issue has been discovered that causes the Codex of Power to be reset, removing any progress made by players. After boosting a character to level 100 via the NPC in Kyovashad, the Codex of Power upgrade process will reset to zero.

Before boosting a character to level 100 vs after boosting a character to level 100. The only way to work around this currently if you wish to have numerous characters is to make all of your alt characters and boost them to level 100 before you start to upgrade Aspects in the Codex of Power. This will prevent a new character from accidentally removing all your progress as you battle your way through the Diablo 4 PTR.
