This one can be very problematic. If you put all your Hardened Steel Bars on the base and not take out the excesses they will be wasted.
How to replicate:
- Go to any operational Leyshrine
- Have at least more than 10 Hardened Steel Bars handy
- Try to craft Focus Altar without putting in yet the bars - can’t.
- Put all the Hardened Steel Bars in the Base.
- Craft Focus Altar
- If you don’t take out the excess, they will be gone forever.
Doesn’t make the issue less annoying, but I think that’s an old bug.
it wasn’t like this before, probably brought back
Very possible. Here’s an old report about the issue:
The thread (i. e. Stelagel) says the surplus materials drop in a bag beside the altar.
