Firebrand should tell you don't have enough stamina BEFORE

[vatas]

I just made firebrand up to 95% and THEN game tells I didn't have enough stamina.

[Oddity]

yeah, firebrands are dumb

+1 this would be a small but convenient change.

But what if you regain stamina during the crafting by drinking etc.

Why are you still using firebrands at this point? You can use pyrite sparks for one-time lighting, and lanterns (fueled by tallow candles) or torches for repeated lighting.

Well its not like you would carry pyrite spark with you always, and sometimes there are no fire sources around.

Some of us start new, random characters in the world on a regular basis and run into these noob traps. Bug is still a bug no matter when in the world it is.

Could be a bit difficult to calculate stamina regeneration etc. and the fact that you could drink during crafting.
Maybe stamina should be consumed before crafting starts in general, on all things, so then you could not even start crafting if you don't have enough stamina.

let's just say that a firebrand is the only "crafted item" that you can make when you don't have enough stamina to finish. Unlike cutting down trees, building a house, etc, the work is completely reset if you stop. The drinking while crafting is an 'undocumented' feature and completely non-obvious and unintuative if you haven't really dug through the forums and don't already know about it. Don't use it as an excuse to not fix a bug.
