Problems with message: NPC helps with crafting. Too many messages

Describe the bug

1

I wanted to see the recipe for the cotton balls. I didn't make them, just watched the recipe. And there were four followers standing nearby. After closing the window. Each follower, in turn, gave a message about help. Many, many times. Due to which the message log changed “quickly” and I paid attention.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Default world and character
  2. Need an NPC follower. Create or recruit an NPC from the shelter
  3. Open the crafting window (shift+7)
  4. Set all skills to 10 (not required)
  5. Open the search window and type cotton balls (or any other recipe with multiple variations)
  6. Press the down (up) button to make the selection make a couple of circles around all the recipes
  7. Close the crafting window and look at the log

It always works for me with the balls. You'll get similar results if you add all of these recipes to your favorites and wind circles in it.

But with recipes from the regular tabs (weapons/all), it doesn't always work. Or I don't see a pattern.

Expected behavior

No messages for help. Or at least not as many.

Can the NPC help with the recipe? Or do they lack skills? Maybe even light?

So I don't create the item. I'm just looking at the recipe The link is to the video.

In this example, the NPC has gotten the maximum skill level. The balls require 0.
