the boxes to drop and store

These are great first off. Here's my question why when I go to pick up something that I have more then one of I don't get the option to pick up all of that one item. I have to pick them up one at a time. I was dropping stuff and dropped by mistake my bone meal. So I had a thousand bone meals and I couldn't pick them back up as a unit. So I picked up everything and then re-dropped the things I didn't want to carry. Just wondering if that counter system will be added in the future to picking up stuff from your drop box.

Odd, I can't pick up less than everything at once. With Options=>Display Monster Loot set to my usual "do not display", I dropped 170 iron swords on the ground, stepped off them, stepped back onto them, and I had already picked them all up without having to do anything. With Options=>Display Monster Loot set to the opposite of my usual which is "always show loot dialog box", I repeated the experiment and this time it brings up a prompt asking me to either "pickup all" or "close".

I understand what's happening you drop all your stuff in one pile but you only wanna Pick up just bmp from the pile and.if you have more then one in that pile you have to tap the item multiple times till all of that one item is picked up

Its a pain in the but

Indeed it seems we could use the same item quantity dialog as when shopping.
I'll see what I can do...

Thanks zukero. Love this game and it's best to be able to ask questions and make suggestions and they get checked into. Part of the fun of a developing game.

There is an easy way to use this to your advantage actually:

1) Drop everything into the box
2) Make sure the Confirm Loot is turned on
3) When the list pops up (In order) just take one of every item you want. Just remember that the ones you click first will be at the top

Example:
1st- Bonemeal
2nd- Regular Potion
3rd- Minor Potion
4th- etc

4) Once you have everything in order you can step back off the pile and then back on
5) Select "pick up all"

You now have your inventory in order.

Zukero: +1 for your suggestion to add the quantity dialog when picking items up.

Pyro, I agree that this process of sorting can be useful, but if I'm right, inventory sort will be part of next release. .. I think it was in the survey.

I believe i remember seeing listed for the next version too.

I hope so. This could be a big improvement from having to manually drop and pick things up or move them around (To top or bottom)

I'd hope they completely redo the whole inventory making different pockets in our magic bag for different items
