Blizzard has acknowledged a rare but frustrating bug affecting the Great Vault in The War Within patch 11.1.5. Some players have reported receiving duplicate item rewards across multiple Vault slots—a situation that’s especially disheartening for high-end players who’ve completed numerous activities to maximize their weekly loot.
Great Vault duplicate bug
According to an official blue post, the issue stems from a glitch in the reward generation logic, where players could, for example, receive the same trinket in two different slots, even after completing a wide variety of content. The good news? A fix has already been developed by Blizzard.
“We’ve developed a fix for this issue that we will implement with scheduled realm restarts tomorrow morning at 7 AM (PDT),”
“When realms come back online, we expect the Vault to generate offerings with more variety, as intended.”

Unfortunately, the fix won’t be retroactive. If you’ve already opened your Vault this week and rolled a duplicate reward, you’re out of luck—Blizzard has made it clear that Customer Support cannot reroll or modify any Vault contents that have already been generated.
This glitch is especially impactful in Patch 11.1.5, where players are diving back into Mythic+ dungeons and new raid content, hoping for key loot upgrades. The Great Vault is supposed to offer tailored, varied options as a reward for a week of progression—but this bug has undermined that promise for some.

If you’re among the unlucky players affected, you’ll need to wait until the next reset for normal functionality to resume. The fix will go live with tomorrow’s realm restarts on Thursday at 7 AM (PDT). We’ll continue to monitor this situation and update this story as more details emerge.
Note
Hold off on claiming your Great Vault rewards for now—doing so could negatively impact your progression long-term. It’s best to wait until Thursday at 7 AM (PDT), after the scheduled fix is implemented.
