Yellow Star on the map. No Item(1)Category: Technical SupportFebruary-18-2013 6:50 AM PST (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hi,

I had not played Diablo III for a while and i came back to try out the new 1.0.7 update, a few minutes into the game i see a yellow star on my map, i ask my fellow companions who tell me its a legendary item marker, but when i get there i find there is no item waiting for me but the yellow star still shows up on the map. I was then advised to take a screenshot to submit it to Blizzard you can find it here :

I know i will never get this item back i was just wondering if anyone ever had such a problem.

Thanks for your help.

Some good sleuthing here.

The Diablo III QA team are currently investigating several similar reports Castiel, but the only situation we've managed to replicate and confirm so far is that the map icon will not be removed if the item decays on the ground. It takes around 40+ minutes for a dropped item to disappear though.

Posted by: Castiel

the yellow stars only show up when the items drop from monster to ground, not from player to ground

This is correct.
