Brief Description: Being able to get XP/drops from manually placed clay

Instructions:
1. Place clay
2. Wait (an extremely long time, ie:weeks)
3. Excavate the clay
4. Profit

How many times did you recreate this bug?: 2x. I have been playing around trying to get drops from manually placed clay ever since the change.

Result: Clay acts as if it is naturally spawning clay and gives normal xp and drops.

Expected Result: I was told that manually clay no longer allows for drops/xp

Evidence: None.

If this is allowed/ is not a bug, please let me know. TY.

 

Very interesting. I'll do some further testing to see if this coincides. Thank you.

Now, although extremely minor and not a economy breaking issue, is it OK that I use this to my advantage? I just want to be honest and use this with no fear of repercussions. :) Am I allowed to farm manually placed clay for the explicit purpose of getting xp/drops?

 

Just to put it out there.

1) I have been placing clay blocked in certain intervals and testing regularly.
2) Andrew logged on today and there was a restart.
3) All clay blocked placed before the restart are farmable, including those done just before the restart.
4) Logs still work and show the clay placed (they have not cleared).
5) I asked RevanRose if I was allowed to place clay blocks specifically to farm them for xp/drops, and she said yes.

Unless I am told otherwise, I will consider the matter closed.

:)
