Also, I think moving forward when playing every other toon (3 of each class, normal, offline, single player, Act3 lvl 24+ each) I am going to make certain I find & buy a staff of teleportation and equip it on the offhand.
This is getting ridiculous though. Ain’t the first time random garbage scenery prevents me from picking up loot, getting stuck, etc.
Did the remaster devs keep all the original randomly generated junk or add more junk for toons to get stuck on?!?
Anyway, this screenshot at least seems to leaves you the option to teleport to those items. I’ve had flying monster loot drop on lava patches in Act 5 River of Flame tileset areas with no way to reach them.
Teleport is the answer in these situations. If the item can drop there, you can teleport there.
Shop Ormus in Act 3 Normal for a staff with teleport charges. It will likely take several times going out of town and back in via the waypoint for him to roll a staff with teleport charges. If you find that item you want to pick up behind the rocks, or on an island in Act 3 Sewers that you can’t get to by walking, switch to the Teleport charges staff and teleport to pick up the item. Don’t forget to repair it.
Telekinesis can only pick up junk items like gold, potions, keys, scrolls, etc. It’s been that way since 1.09.
Not necessarily, there are some spots that items can drop that can’t be teleported to, especially items dropped by Find Item. It does help in a lot of cases though I’ll give you that, and in OPs case I think it should be possible to teleport behind that rock and grab the items.
This “stuck spot” is old, they haven’t intentionally changed or added any collision stuff.
Perhaps, but it’s probably so rare that I don’t remember it happening, or the items dropped weren’t worth picking up. For efficiency reasons, I usually ignore the straggler monsters anyway.
Any creative devs with the experience and ability to make changes to this old gem of a game left Blizz long ago, everyone else is like handcuffed by pigheaded suits and shareholder interrests, Its quantity over quality and creativity and innovation is pretty much non existing
Always shop a teleport staff from Ormus in Act III Normal when you get there, and at least keep it in you stash for such occasions.
Fastest way to do it is to run just outside of town and open a TP, then enter it and run to Ormus, shop his 2 weapons tabs, then run back out of town and enter the TP again. Repeat until staff is found. They range in price from $34K+ to $500K+, and depending on your run speed and a little luck, it’ll take anywhere from 1 minute to a half hour to shop one. In the future do this before clvl 24, and only check Omus’ red unusable staves.
