Failed to use/apply item: The operation could not be completed.

@Trainz: Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the book. None of my chars around lvl 2-10 can't use items in the first town. but yes, leaving town to any other area and using the item there works as a workaround for me

i cant use any of my orbs at the first town.
it says "operation could not be completed".

Same issue, have to use all my currency items outside town ... -_-

I had this happen with Wisdom Scrolls in Act 1 town. Had fought a pair of mobs (?rare, 1 caster, 1 melee) in Praetor's Mausoleum. Looted 4 items when the first one died (because POE2 = paranoia ;p) then finished the second.

Wisdom scrolls wouldn't work on those 4 items in town, but eventually I took town portal back to the same instance and they worked there.

Thanks!

Made a quick video for this:

I'm having the same issue. I can't use items in town in act 3. If I go back to act 2, or leave town, then I can craft / use quest items.

Had the same issue while on the caravan. Fixed it by relogging in..

Happening randomly all the time in act 2. Have to keep relogging to fix it. Sometimes it doesn't fix it.

Can confirm. I was on the Caravan in Act 2 trying to do it out of my crafting mats tab. TP'd back to map with the mats and I could use it. :D Welcome to early access!!!
