Not every player uses the crafting mechanic inElden Ring, but those that do find much more use for certain items that can be found across the Lands Between. It makes it worth collecting the various Cookbooks as well, each containing different recipes for various items. Among the resources for crafting, fans especially find usefulness in theCracked Pot.
Elden Ring’sCracked Pots cannot be farmed. There is alimited amount of themthat can be found and bought. However, a lot of players have missed an important fact, and it’s that theseCracked Pots are reusable. After they are used, they are refunded into the Tarnished’s inventory. Being reusable makes the Cracked Pots invaluable, as they can make useful items like Sleep Pots, Poison Pots, Swarm Pots, and more.
