Crafting material calculation error

I have over 100.000 of white, blue, and yellow crafting materials.
When i craft anything that uses those materials it will only use 15 of each that i have over 100k of, or as the game counts 100k = * .

The game says it will cost 990, or more, of each material, but it only uses 15 maybe 20 of each!

I don’t use much of it and it’s WAY too many in my inventory, i want to sell off at least 90k of them, to get rid of the clutter. Or at the very least for the game to consume what it should, please ?

Hi:

Not sure what you’re writing about… crafting mats are held in a special inventory shared by all heroes of that mode and do not consume any space in your hero inventory or in the stash. AFAIK, there is no limit to how many you can hold of each type.

When you craft, your number of mats over 999 is shown with a *, it’s normal.

yep, i was an idiot here, did not do my due diligence, sorry.

and that was not the question, but still i was an idiot here, embarrassing :exploding_head:

Hi again,

Then you need to be more specific…

  • what item are you trying to craft ?
  • how many ?

Would you post a before and after screenshot showing that an incorrect number of crafting materials was consumed.

I tried to replicate the issue (as I understand it from your original post) even if I do not have 100k each of Reusable Parts, Arcane Dust and Veiled Crystals. I crafted 35 Captain Crimson Silk Girdle; the cost should have been:

Item Cost per Total Cost
Reusable Parts 30 1,050
Arcane Dust 30 1,050
Veiled Crystal 50 1,750
Arreat War Tapestry 1 35
Corrupted Angel Flesh 1 35
Gold 72,000 2,520,000

I took a screenshot before and after, uploaded them to imgur, and… voilà:
(open screenshots in another tab to enlarge)

I did the math… and the results came out exactly as expected. So… I’m not seeing the bug.

Just for further clarification: Nothing costs 990 of anything to craft in D3.

You’re looking at the number of Mats you have, not how much it costs.

For example, if you wanted to craft a Level 70 Rare Belt, it would cost you 990/15 Reusable Parts. The 990 is how many you have. The 15 is how many it costs.

(I’m sure you’ve figured this out by now).

You’re not an idiot, just someone with a question.
