Title. I might just be seriously stupid, but as a ftp doing this event, I'm forced to use the artisan patches to skip some ingredients. However, the first time I clicked skip (for a single ingredient) I noticed that it completely drained me of artisan patches. I thought it was a weird coincidence that I had the exact amount of patches in my bank needed to fully complete that ingredient, but I brushed it off. I just went to the artisan again, this time with 2k patches in my bank. I skip an ingredient that says it "costs 80 patches to skip remainder of this ingredient", go to skip the next ingredient and it says I have zero patches. WTF is happening? Again I might just be doing something wrong (!?!?) but the 2k patches are definitely gone and I didn't even finish the d*mn item to level him up. LMK if u know what is happening plzzzz :(

EDIT: So I just tried it again, got 200 patches quick, skipped something that said it would cost 180 and this time it actually worked as expected, i had 20 remaining....

I'm really at a loss for what happened the first two times, just because there's no way 1) I coincidentally had the exact amount of patches twice, and 2) I used 2k+ patches the second time without even finishing two ingredients for the first mystery box. Like even if I accidentally finished more ingredients without noticing, that's more than the sum of all required patches to make the flippin box! They only took a few hours to grind but damn, I would really appreciate any tip if anyone knows anything so I don't waste thousands of patches. thx

Hey.

Were you pressing the skip all button? The patch skip cost that shows on the right-hand panel is the cost to skip only the selected ingredient. If you press the skip all button it will attempt to skip as many of the ingredients in the recipe as you have the tokens for. In the case of the instance where the correct number of patches were removed from you, this might be due to you only having enough patches for that specific ingredient and none of the others.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you were experiencing something different. :)

Mod Camel, The same thing happens to me. I press “Skip All” And it will use every single patch (more than is required) on the patch slot. Also just lost 1751 trying to skip acadia logs. Please fix this.

I’ve lost thousands of patches like this.

To skip just a single ingredient you should use the skip button on the right-hand side of the interface and not the skip-all button. I have put in a feedback job for confirmation button to be added when pressing skip-all to hopefully remove this issue in the future :)

I have use the single ingredient skip it did the same thing. The first time it happened I used skip all and lost over 3k patches at level two trying to make a mystery box. I used the skip button on the right hand side after that with no problems until this morning where it use 1751 patches on x60 acadia logs for the crystal hammer recipe.

I have also submitted a bug report ingame.

edit: It was yew logs apparently not acadia logs.

Thanks for posting a bug report. Hopefully this can provide us a bit more information and better track the issue you are experiencing :)
