    Don’t spend on bosses because I dont want to have wasted a consumable in case I die and have to retry the boss.

    I wish crafting an item made it a refillable instead of a consumable. I feel like the cracked pots in Elden Ring were going in the right direction as “refillable containers” at least

      The funny thing about this in Elden Ring (since you mentioned it), I never learned to use consumables besides the flasks. I’ve seen speedrunners make great use of some of the greases for example, but every time I use something I end up dying anyway. Really hurts because some of the consumables have limited crafting materials (St. Trina lily for sleep pots iirc?).

      I ended up beating the base game without them.

      By the time you get to the bosses, the shitty potions don’t heal enough anyway.

      I appreciate the RPG’s that let you craft better potions from the shit ones, but I still never use them.
