Lunar Fortunes, when your inventory is full?

If you use a Lunar Fortune, and it tries to place an item in your inventory... but it can't because your inventory is full... is the Lunar Fortune still consumed?

If it is NOT consumed... then by deliberately filling my inventory... can I reduce the number of Fortunes I have to use, before I get a "Lunar Blessing"?

Because I could easily carry a stack of say, assassin tomes... and then when I enter a zone, move 1 tome from the stack into every inventory slot. Once I've got the Lunar Blessing, I could put all the tomes back into a single stack.

If your inventory is full it prevents you from using an item that would add another item to it. Lunar Fotunes however don't do this. "Lunar Fortune prizes fall on the ground where they are assigned to the person that used the fortune"~wiki~So they are consumed reguardless to inventory allotment. At least that's what I get from it.

Tried it, prize fell to the ground. Fyi, easiest is to buy like 50 noob boots from ascalon, or take out hero weps.

Prizes from Lunar Fortunes never enter your inventory in the first place. They always go straight to the ground.

Also, even if Fortunes didn't drop stuff on the ground, and instead worked like a present, it wouldn't open. GW already has this mechanic in place for several things. Try salvaging something when your inventory is full, or opening a wintersday gift. The game just won't let you.

Its worth noting that certain presents appear to be bugged in that they can be opened with a full inventory, so long as the item generated can actually fit in your inventory. I've personally noticed this with Nick's gifts in pre-searing for example.

In case any of your are getting your hopes up, it doesn't seem to work with armbraces and coffers, although the drop rate on armbraces is so low it could be kinda hard to know for sure

Good hunting.

I knew that. And that's exactly what I was hoping to abuse: fill inventory, double-click Lunar Fortune... if it tries to give me an item, it fails, Lunar Fortune is not used... and I get to try for the Lunar Blessing effect again - for free.

Anyway, the question has been answered multiple times: my fiendish plan won't work because if the Lunar Fortune generates an item, it drops on the ground, instead of going to inventory.
