Quickly Identify Items About to Despawn
Use the Color Indicator System
Dropped items display a glowing color that shifts from green to red as despawn time decreases. This visual system lets you instantly assess which items need urgent attention without reading numbers.
Prioritize by Color
- Green: Plenty of time—low priority
- Yellow/Orange: Moderate time remaining—plan recovery soon
- Red: Critical—item will disappear very soon
Check the Jade Tooltip
Hover over or look directly at a dropped item to see the exact countdown timer displayed above it through Jade. This gives you precise seconds remaining when you need exact timing.
Recovery Strategy
When you see red-glowing items, make them your immediate priority. Collect red items first, then work backward through orange and yellow items. This ensures you never lose valuable loot to despawn.
In Chaotic Situations
After a major battle or mining haul with many drops, scan the area for red indicators first. The color system works even when items are partially obscured, making it easier to spot critical loot in cluttered environments.
