So I've noticed that when I'm using my brewing stands they'll use up 3 items instead of just 1 when I make three potions like normal. So if I have 64 sugar in the stand and put in 3 potions as normal I'll have 61 leftover afterwards.
That in itself doesn't bother me, I've built a sugar farm that I'll have more than enough for the brewing itself. What does concern me is that Tidal was testing it just now as well and she doesn't have this problem. She'll put in 64 sugar into the stand for 3 potions and will have 63 leftover, the brewing stand only using 1 item to make the three potions.
I'm confused if this is something inherent into the Alchemy skill as you gain levels (Which I checked and I didn't see anything in /alchemy mentioning this), but even so Tidal claimed that it never happened to her at all. So I'm just wondering if this is some kind of bug that it's affecting me and not someone else.
