Not Getting Discovery LP

[KinoftheFlames]

I've discovered through trial and error that generally a character does not get discovery LP from something they otherwise would get it from, if they interact with ANYTHING in the interface after beginning the hourglass timer for interacting with an object that would give LP.

Example 1: After clicking "craft" on a Cone Cow for the first time, and then clicking through the menu for something else to create.
Example 2: After clicking "pickup" on a Blueberries for the first time, and then right clicking on a tree to bring up the dial menu (but not doing anything after that)

These are general examples of what I've experience, so I didn't specifically test these situations with these items, objects, etc. But this seems to be so true to the point if I know the character is going to get discovery LP when I start the process I don't touch my keyboard or mouse. So really right now it is more of an annoyance for the knowledgeable player, but for newbies that get impatient and like to queue actions (like myself) it can be a real detriment before they have a chance to get curiosities.

Edit: I believe this might also happen when picking up or crafting something if when obtained the item cannot fit in the player's inventory so it is under the cursor. Also note that in all of the cases the character does not earn the LP they are still noted as having discovered the item, so they cannot earn LP afterwards with the work-around method described above.

afaik you don't get discovery LP for cone cows.you should for blueberrys though

Judging by your past comments, this is not your first character. Know that discoveries are inherited along with stats, you you cannot discover anything your old character has already discovered (bad for lp, but overall less of a pain for recipes.)

I'm pretty sure you get LP from both, but the specific items aren't the point.

I'm aware of this. I'm made this thread because I just made a non-reincarnated alt and accidently didn't use the work around and remembered not seeing anything like this in the bug forums, so I thought I'd post it.

Do you get the discovery if you produce the item a second time? Also, do you get the crafting options?

[SpiderJerusalem]

you don't get discovery for a cone cow, just tested it with a non-inherited alt just to be sure

no you dont get it after a second try. but yes you get the crafting items the first time. so everything goes correctly except you dont get LP and you dont get the visual over your head and you dont hear a sound.

I've just done some testing on a new non-inherited alt and don't seem to be getting any of the issues I said in the way I described them. So I'm not sure if I'm just confusing what has LP gain and what I have/haven't learned before on a character or if there's some other variable that must be present for the bug to happen. It seems to happen to often on new alts for me to think I'm just confused though.

Item's that can't be processed further don't give discovery LP, with the exception of foodstuff.
