Sorting through items at Throne of Destruction

[hackedagainanda]

Is there an efficient way to sort through the "junk" drops and find the Set&Unique items and runes

My screen gets so cluttered up with the junk I can't find any decent items.

It depends a lot on how you play but there are several things you can do:

Belt:
Have mana and hp pots there, drink'em and pick'em. One/two rows with purples is enough.

Tomes:
Don't be afraid to use scrolls. Them pick'em all! ID stuff that could eventually be good while waiting.

Them picking the gold and it should be enough to make it manageable. You can also pick the gems/runes directly to the cube or to the inventory (and move them to the cube while waiting).

Remember, to see most of the items you have to be under them and slightly to the right. I pick up gold and I can see the drops just fine. Until I got the hang of it I was picking up and drinking potions as nulio had advised.

pick up gold
Feed pots to merc as well if not needed
open inventory, full grab item in hand, take 2 steps and drop

I have a question/observation. Been doing a lot of 1.13d Baal runs lately with a hammerdin, p3-p5... Usually p3 because the minions rarely drop any goodness. Here is what I am experiencing: after the floor near baal's throne gets cluttered with items, spawning minions become less likely to drop... Anything... Even pots. Their gold drops still appear normal, but the item drop seems to dwindle to a level which seems odd to me, even for a p3 setting. However if I lead them back into the chamber, away from the throne, somewhere the floor isn't as cluttered, the item drops return to normal. Am I just imagining this? Having an acid flashback from my college days? This seems to happen consistently in my Baal runs.

I never noticed it in older versions, maybe it was there, maybe not. In 1.13d achmel's magic immunity has my merc drinking pots, so I'm often looking to replenish my belt after the wave. If there are only greater pots, I'll wait a wave or two for super pots... But the story is the same, again and again... Gold drops but no pots.... Unless I lead the minions away from the cluttered area in front of the throne

I think you are imagining it. The bosses always drop potions. It might be by the quantity of items on the ground that you don't see all of them. As I said, move down and slightly to the right to see the broadest display of items. Pick up gold if necessary. Also potions are easily visible on the ground so you can pick them up directly, without highlighting. That is, if you don't use /nopickup command.

Yeah I think it's my imagination too. The only other possibility is that my merc is an alcoholic, sneaking drinks without me noticing.

I hate the Search for a TP scroll when out or arrows/bolts.
But Tp anit-freeze, antidote etc last row sucks when dry.
Grr that one belt slot is empty? and they evaporated?
