Question here....

I was trading gems with someone I normally trade with. Normally we trade items and drops the gems on the ground.

I got held up 20+ so he was waiting in the game with stuff on ground. I joined the game, we traded, he left and i started picking up the gems. (around 200)

but I come up short.

Is it possible the game disappeared em because they were on the ground for a while?

If anyone has any experience with this

Thanks

yes, items will vanish if left on the ground for some time. it's happened to me before

10 Minutes: Potions, Scrolls, Tomes, Ammo, Keys, Runes, Pandemonium Artifacts, Essence, Tokens, and non-magical/socketed armor/weapons.
20 Minutes: Magic Items, Gems, and Runes.
30 Minutes: Rare, Set, Unique, and Crafted Items.

wow the legend! thank you!

My pleasure. Sorry to hear about your lost gems.

where do they go though, back to the big chest in the sky?

I heard it doubles up and goes to the next person.
