[not a bug] Flaming Grinder buff not working?

I have the buff and can see the timer but I'm still expending energy to grind, and it won't let me grind if I don't have the energy to do it.

  • I've had this problem recently too and I think it was some sort of silent change to flaming grinder. It seems you're charged the energy cost of everything you grind after the grinder buff expires. I get that they wanted to stop people from grinding 1300 ore with one drink but I still want to be able to grind that much ore and it's very cumbersome to have to split that into 5 sessions of drink/grind/drink/grind. Wouldn't be a problem if you could stack drink durations

  • This is not a bug, but actually a fix to a bug. For details read this.

  • I disagree - drinking a flaming humbaba then wasting the whole thing trying to figure out how much I can crush with it is quite definitely a bug.

  • The duration is a bit short since you'll likely have to rummage for another bag to actually do the grinding...

  • I have heard that 200 ore chunks is pretty much the maximum amount of ore you can crush on one flaming humbaba now. Even then you'll probably die a lot if you don't have the energy. 175 would probably be the safer choice. As for me, I'll do all my grinding with no-no from now on.

  • I think there should be an option on the grinder like crush and drink a flaming. you can really loose most of the effect bu entering the number to crush / lag

  • As described this IS a bug.  I've seen the same and reported it.

    I ordered a big grind just after drinking a Humbaba, fully expecting to use some energy after the buff expired and accepting a risk of death.  No energy was deducted, no grinding was done, and I lost all benefit of the Humbaba.

  • No-no is more effective for grinding a large amount of ore now, IMO
