"That item cannot be picked up" near the Blacksmith

When ever I am near the blacksmith I keep getting the message “That item cannot be picked up”. My bags are not full and I am not trying to pick up anything.

That happens to me also. I did a open world run in Westering Lowlands of Scosglen. My bags were near full when I town portaled back to Kyovashad. I went to the stash first to sort my new goods, then, went right near the blacksmith and opened my bags again to see first which goods I wanted to salvage. I examined the loot. Then, I talked to the blacksmith and salvaged all the loot, including some legendaries except one. It was then when I noticed when I moved anywhere around the blacksmith he, my character, would complain about me trying to pick something up and saying his bags are full. I didn’t even click on anything…just moved around him. When I townportaled to Firebreak Manor in Scosglen, and back to Kyovashad again…he stopped complaining when I moved around the blacksmith.

I have the exact same problem. It has been going on for about a week now or so. It is not every time I go to sell/dismantle gear, but most of the time.
Perhaps it began because I pushed space to “mark as junk” while having the blacksmith window open, which causes your character to do a dash instead of marking the item. Which then made my character dash away, closing the window unintended?
It is kinda annoying especially because there is nothing to pick up like the OP said.
I really hope it will be fixed soon or I will have the “I cannot carry more” or “my bags are full” stuck on my brain forever xD

I have this happening too, on both of my characters. I’ll just click the ground and it’ll give me the cant pick up message and play the voice line. Luckily it doesn’t appear to be breaking anything, just odd.

I have this happening too, on all blacksmitting pnjs.

Same but just happening in Gea Kul, next to Cansu blacksmith

No reply from Blizzard’s admin yet ?

Same. It’s an annoying bug.

Can also reproduce this bug - It’s almost as if there’s an item that cannot be seen in the vicinity prompting the “That item cannot be picked up” message so long as you click on the floor of the surrounding area of the blacksmith. Kyovashad is specifically where I’ve seen it happen the most.

I have something similar as a problem. The game will not let me pick up quest rewards or objects. It drops them on the ground…but won’t let me pick them up. Says I am carrying too much…even if my loot is empty. I am a level 50 druid, and it has been like this for quite a while.

This is still happening after 1.0.3 patch. I see this bug posted on every single forum/website I visit. How could such a universal bug still be in the game?

I’ve had it happening for a week or so too. It’s happened at multiple blacksmiths.

Same issue after patch, “That item cannot be picked up” every single time i approach a blacksmith, any blacksmith

Have the same problem and it’s most blacksmiths. When walking directly through them, it’s like it’s trying to pick up some invisible currency on the ground that you are at max. I’m guessing it’s something that shouldn’t be active so we don’t actually have a limit to access whatever it is.

This bug is due to the game thinking the anvil is an item. as you bump into it the game tries to pick it up, but its likely made so large it can’t fit in the inventory.

thus why your character says. My inventory is full.

Given it’s not a game-breaking bug and only annoying, Blizz probably has a care factor of zero in trying to fix it. These are the types of things they let go on for years.

I get that message along with “I can not afford that” when I’m near the blacksmith on my Sorcerer.

There are also like hundreds or thousands of bugs being reported every day regarding classes and general in game issues. They have some work to do :sweat_smile:
