Auto Loot Pickup?

If I'm not mistaken, health pots are now auto pick-up, whereas you used to have to click them. I actually find this to be a really nice change.

Any chance we can apply this to crafting mats and gems?

Take it even a step further and add an option to show/not show/auto pickup items of a certain rarity. I remember there being an option like this in Torchlight 2 and it was extremely convenient.

My hands will thank you when they aren't sore from all that extra clicking.

We've been working on streamlining the crafting resource management system, and some of your suggestions are the kind of things we're looking at. I'm going to quote one of my previous posts about this to highlight some of that info again.

Let me preface what I’m about to say with the caveat that any changes we make to crafting material management will come sometime down the road, but we don't have a time frame to share at this point.

  • All crafting materials would be moved to a currency-style storage in the UI. Think something similar to Blood Shards.
  • All crafting materials would become auto pickup, except for LEGENDARY crafting material. (Legendary crafting material would still be automatically stored as a currency, but players must click on it to pick it up.)
  • All crafters would pull crafting materials from this storage area for recipes.
  • Crafting materials that the player doesn’t currently own would appear in grey text with a 0 counter.
  • Players could mouse over the icons of all crafting material to get the full tooltip of the item. This includes greyed out ones.
  • Currently, we do not intend to store gems in this way because it would make socketing items feel clunky.
