Despite investing thousands of hours in games like Elden Ring, made by none other than Hidetaka Miyazaki, there will always be little details that players will miss out on and won’t discover for a long time.
While most of these bits do not really impact the gameplay and have no major effect on how the player perceives a game, a mechanic discovered recently might just be a game-changer many gamers have been looking for.
Reusable Pots – Elden Ring Keeps Surprising Fans Even After 2 Years of Release
FromSoftware has always been a master at keeping many things subtle in its games, an art it has perfected ever since the release of Demon’s Souls back in 2009.
Coming back to the present, a user on Elden Ring’s Reddit forum has revealed that after having more than 1200 hours of gameplay, they are just figuring out that the game allows for the storage of already crafted pots, giving back empty ones instead to be used for another recipe.
I have 1267 Hours In Elden Ring. I just realized you can store fire pots etc in storage and reuse the empty pots for something else…WTF

What makes knowing this information better is how the recent Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for the game brings with it new types of pots and unique status effects to afflict on the enemies, with the recipes for the same being shared in an abundance of cookbooks Hidetaka Miyazaki has scattered across the Realm of Shadow for some reason.
Is Elden Ring Finally Getting Called Out for Its Lack of Communication?
While there remains no doubt that Hidetaka Miyazaki’s latest IP is in a league of its own, as proven by the recent release of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, the game still has a few underlying issues no player has ever dared to talk about, not until recently.
The director of the early God of War games, David Jaffe, pointed out in one of his live-streams last month how FromSoftware misses out when it comes to communication of the game with the players, often landing the gamers into trouble with a boss because they have no idea which particular item to make use of and where to find it.
This issue is further highlighted by the above-mentioned Reddit post, with fans straight-out wondering if the studio introduced a new mechanic to the game after finding out how they can be more efficient with their inventory and resources.
