I’ve thought about that too but am of a different opinion. I sometimes use my forge space to store an item that I think I may switch back to if the new one doesn’t work out as well as I think. It’s sort of a temp storage area for me at times.
The probability the item will be placed on the ground by fallback is very low, as the player generally transfer the item from its inventory or equipment.
But it can happen if the player auto reorganizes its inventory in between.
Very low occurence (and probably stupid), but can happen.
