An Elden Ring fan discovered an ingenious way to craft more pot items after playing the game for more than 1200 hours. Many fans have spent countless hours trying to discover every nook and cranny that the game has to after. To this day, Elden Ring still has many secrets to discover, and that has still increased with the introduction of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC expansion.

With how open-ended the game is, it’s no secret that fans have been sharing their own discoveries of secrets, tips, and tricks with each other. The Elden Ring community has found many shortcuts and strategies to make traversing the land and defeating enemies much easier. One such case is when an Elden Ring fan discovered a very simple trick to defeat Malenia. In fact, many of the techniques being shared by players are rooted in simplicity. Take one player who recently found a way to craft and store more pot items.

Players Can Craft More Pots and Perfumes Using This New Trick

Reddit user ReasonableTreeStump realized that they could store fire pots and other similar items in the storage, which meant that they could reuse the empty pots to create more consumables for other uses. This effectively saves time when crafting, as players can just make items they need as they please. This strategy also works for Elden Ring‘s perfumes. The comments section unified in agreement to say that this was a new discovery for a majority of players. Considering the game has been out since 2022, it took a long time for this exploit to be found.

As Elden Ring‘s Cracked Pots are a limited resource, this effectively turns ReasonableTreeStump’s discovery into a very valuable exploit that can easily help players conquer many of the game’s bosses. Many of the craftable Pot throwables are essential in defeating the stronger enemies in-game, and with this mechanic, allows fans to store the items when not in use instead of needing to dispose of excess pots.

While crafting in Elden Ring is a main mechanic, not many players really utilize it to its full potential. Apart from the creation of regular-use items, some players easily forget that there are many other craftable damage-dealing weapons as well. This is probably the reason why ReasonableTreeStump’s discovery feels brand new. Some people from the comments section have shared that they avoided using the pots in the inventory or didn’t bother crafting at all. With how other item stacks behave differently, it’s possible this is the reason why other players never noticed this exploit.
