Encountered this bug, but couldn't log the bug within the game so posting here.

My new mage crystalised a spell and created the sap crystals to go with it. Alll went fine, however later on I found that I was unable to create sap crystals or crystalise spells. Sometimes it would appear to work but on clicking 'take all' the crystal would not appear in the inventory, on some occasions crystalising a spell simply cast the spell at the nearest individual.

Did some playing around and discovered the following:

On first logging on you can create crystals, also if you managed to create crystals last time you logged on but they did not appear in the inventory then although they still do not appear they will turn up as soon as you create another crystal.

The trigger for crystals not working was always the point at which i first quartered a beast i had killed, even if i did not actually take anything off it.


workaround is therefore to log off, log on and create a lot of sap crystals, or don't loot.

not a happy camper.

ps is there no way of switching characters without quiting the game alltogether - ie exit to character choosing screen.

It also seems to work if you craft items then the crystals appear when you open up a trade menu with an NPC

And no, you have to log off to switch characters

This is a bug that has been known and unfixed for a long time.

The bug is triggered if you quarter anything, as you said. After that, you can't make crystals, they become invisible.

There are 2 states to the bug. State 1 is when you have only tried to make a few crystals, but they didn't appear in your inventory. In this state you can attempt to make further crystals, but nothing comes of them. State 1 turns into State 2 after a while, after you have made too many of these "invisible" crystals. Some kind of buffer seems to fill up, and trying to make more crystals cause an error message: "Bag Full" to come up, even if your bag is not full.

In State 1 you are still able to craft, but in State 2 attempting to craft causes the error message: "Craft System Failure, pleasure report this sentence...".

To fix yourself and enable making crystals, what you do depends on the State. In State 1, you can simply craft something, anything. Once you complete the craft, you are able to make crystals and they appear in your bag fine. In State 2, you have to be more tricky as crafting itself doesn't work anymore. What you do is you start crafting something, but you do NOT let it finish. As your character is crafting and the bar is filling up in the top left, you have to click the "Drop All" button on the "Crafting..." window that is on the screen (but empty). Timing is important, but it's not difficult to do.

I am not aware that logging out and in again would fix this bug. When I tried, it never did. Unfortunately, for now, the only way to get around the bug is if you are able to craft. Without crafting, no crystals

Also note that this is triggered by foraging, too, not only quartering.

Similar happened to me tonight, trying to make spells for enchanting my swords. I noticed that whilst trying to crystallise my spell that it wasnt appearing in inventory. However relogging did fix it.

furthermore, i have tested this with quartering and foraging, i can crystallise spells and they do show after doing either, however it seems more likely that time spent ingame is more to blame for the crystals not showing ingame.

When i find i cannot see the spells i crystallised, relogging does not make them show in my inventory, crafting also does not. I will try the breaking craft ie drop all suggestion, but my packs show to be full as it is, possibly some of it is invis items, i will not know for sure untill i empty them.
