How infuriating is this?

try selecting it w/the keyboard or mouse and hitting space.

ps

to answer your question, I'd say not very.

Probably major, and even if it was superior, probably superior recycling or something.

You'll get others in Kryta, I assure you (there's giants in one of the mission that drop tons of gold/purple regularly. forget which one though)

Lol...... that happens to me eveytime I try to do that stupid bonus. I have yet to find a way to get anything off those annoying towers. SOL for you (me too several times).

Do what EOM said.

Click item with mouse. Hit spacebar.
Character runs over and picks up item.
Yay.

Sometimes you have to position yourself on the stairs then do the click+spacebar thing.

It's essentially the same way you can attack things up on the tower with a WAR. Click them and hit spacebar when you stand on the stairs. Wack wack you hit them.

I managed to get myself up there with a lag spike. I got stuck there though...


Otherwise, get necrotic traversal or consume corpse.

LOL, Yeah, I got up on the tower once with necro spells, I used to use 'em on my R/N, and it was excellent pissing off my team...

But, you should def. be able to pick up things on the towers from the ground as mentioned.

Often using the scroll wheel to put you nto firdt person mode allows the item to be picked up. Select and space bar doesn't work if the character can't physically reach the item.
