Verified. I believe that this was reported as a bug once. (Back when we had that awesome bug tracker.) However this behavior was clarified to be working as intended and hence, not a bug. The fact that an itemd doesn't require a pulls means that it is supposed to be treated differently. Use {{f|available_amount}} minus {{f|item_amount}} to verify presence of free pulls in Hangks. Then get them into inventory with {{f|retrieve_item}} instead of with {{f|take_storage}}. You're right that info should probably be on all relevant pages.  --[[User:Bale|Bale]] 05:17, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps we should start a special "caveats" page, and link to subheadings on it, for such info; it seems a bit much may be required to explain the situation to include it on every page. It would also be a good place to put info on things like Between Battle Scripts and adventure count in automation, etc. Thoughts? --[[User:StDoodle|StDoodle (#1059825)]] 15:10, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Can anyone else verify, before I edit it in, that this function doesn't work on free pulls? --StDoodle (#1059825) 11:45, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
