Missing Item from Inventory?

[TimberWolf-1533]

Well, this is disconcerting. There have been a few posts about the Staff of Herding disappearing after crafting:

Staff of Herding Bug Season 28

I farmed all of the mats for the Staff of Herding and the recipe. When I crafted the staff, my mats were used but I did not recieve the Staff of Herding.

Staff of Herding vanishing

Crafted the Staff of Herding in act 4, It consumed the required materials and then never put the item in my inventory. I have tried relogging to see if it will how up that way and still no Staff of Herding.

Staff of Herding disappeared after crafted

Hello! Just farmed the staff of herding materials for a good 4-5hrs this morning, gathered them all up, was very excited to complete my altar upon crafting it and when I crafted it, it completely disappeared. Not in my inventory, not in stash, not equipped, not on the ground… very disappointed. Please assist in any way possible! Thank you.

And one that vanished after opening Whimsyshire:

Staff of Herding is only ONE USE?

Since when? Did this change? I’ve had one in my stash for ages on non-seasonal. I got on this season, and used it once before I sacrificed it … and it’s totally gone out of my inventory… Is this a bug? Is this intended? If it was one time use, I’d never have wasted it on that stupid gem run. Is it possible to get it back at this point?

Now the components are vanishing?
