Game Mechanics: "You seemed to have misplaced that item"

[Bodisatva]

In Tox forest- Stackable loots that have value such as bone chips and spider silks are not being added to inventory. Instead one of the item occupies a slot, and following loots of this item do not show up in inventory, but the chat msg says you did.
This is painful for a necro collecting bone chips or someone trying to do tailoring.

When I sell at the vendor, I can sell only the one of those items that appears in my inventory (backpack slot or normal slot). This item does not disappear from my inventory and if I try to sell it again I get the error msg that is the title of this thread.
If I try to move the bugged item to another inv slot, I get a locational server error 'loc 20>" or something.

This is about the 6th topic on this already. Once you sell the item, it's not there anymore, it's just an icon bug. Delete what you have sold and move on. If you lock yourself up by trying to sell the same item multiple times all you need to do is JUMP, and you're fixed.

The icon is the least of my concerns, its the failure to add items of value, like bone chips, to my inventory in quantities > 1.

So, if I am reading you right jumping fixes this aspect of the bug?

Umm, thanks. I suppose this answers someone's questions but not mine.

I am not locking up and dont care as much about the icon bug as I do the fact that I can loot 10 bone chips and never have more than one in my inventory.

So, lvl 4 and the new pet requires 2 bone chips to summon. Can't summon b/c I can only seem to have 1 bone chip in my inventory no matter how many I loot.
Is no one else having this issue?

I had a similar (but not exactly the same) issue months ago with a bandage. I could not buy more and the one I had would not go away. On the bright side, I could bandage myself all I wanted forever...but it was weird.

I have not seen it since though. Hopefully a dev chimes in here for you.

The fix for this is left-click looting. Loot the corpse and instead of right-clicking the loot you want simply left-click the item to be picked up and then left-click again; this time on your inventory screen to auto place the item in a container (or an open inventory slot). My friends and I have adopted this technique and it seems to work consistently. I hope this helps.

Thanks BigFella, that is working.

the problem is you still have to put each bone chip or other stackable item in its own slot, its impossible to manually make stacks of looted items after youve done this, it may show the quantity rising but the item is not there, and will poof back down to a count of 1 (one) when you camp or zone. Its kind of a huge bug.

Huge is an understatement. Game Breaking is more accurate.
