[Crafting] Preserve your materials!

[battletoads]

Hello, MMOwned. I have lurked for a while but now I think it's about time I contribute something.

I discovered a bug where you could preserve any materials used when crafting something. I am still working on a way to reliably reproduce it, but here it goes:

1) Begin crafting.
2) Open your bags, move the materials around to different slots quickly.

It's that simple! It works sometimes, no it's not a visual bug, I really could save one or two items for my next craft. I suggest you practice with Frostweave bandages. Hopefully someone down the line will make some sort of auto bag shuffler to aid with this.

I hope it works for everyone else, and enjoy.

Couldn't seem to get it to work. Wasn't much of a waste though, I was making bolts of frostweave anyways.

Only works client side... for a few seconds. After the connection makes contact with the server again, you'll notice your mats are used/accounted for.

didn't work fer me

Confirmed 100% not working. Using the genie mod to reorganize the bag while doing an alchemy cast, and the supplies where still spent!

This would be the same as duplicating an item, which have been "prooven" impossile countless times.

Does not work

certain inventory slots get locked when crafting, to the point you cannot rearrange stacks while crafting. Some mods may ignore this and display a change, but as soon as it updates with the server it will be corrected.
But the game itself does not allow you to rearrange materials which are currently being used in the craft which the craft is "casting", and IIRC the target location of the crafted item also is locked.

just tried, didn't work.

[battletoads]

Alright, well I have nothing to argue if it wasn't working for you, but I swear on my life I made 2 heavy bandages when I only have 2 frostweave cloths in my bags. Maybe it was lag?

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

For enchanter who want to test this, don't waste your mats, just try turning Large Prismatic Shard <> Small Prismatic Shard back and forth, this bug doesn't work for me though.
