Throwing and gifting equipment on accident is way too easy

[Wyxian]

EDIT FOR ANYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE: In the Game options, there's a setting to prompt before giving an item away, and an item marked as important does not prompt you to throw it when held.

Multiple times now I've thrown a weapon (not an actual throwing weapon) by accidentally hitting the wrong mouse button only for it to magically cease to exist afterward, or I've gifted my weapon away to a random NPC while trying to do something else.

I've had to Alt+F4 multiple times losing other progress just to get them back. Gifting items shouldn't be such a quick action with no confirmation, and throwing my weapon should not be so easy to do by accident.

I had just bought a better weapon, a better light, and some other useful stuff, only to immediately give the weapon away to the shopkeeper I had just bought it from. This is not the first time something like this has happened. This is absurd.

The option to give a pop-up if you're gifting an item is the best option to tick in the entire game.

I looked for such an option more than once and never found it, still doesn't solve the problem with throwing items.

Sorry it's not helpful for accidentally throwing items, but the accidental gift thing can be helped by turning on the warning popup via: Config > Game > scroll down to the section on Warnings.

Not sure how is that happen, it don't really have easy way to just throw or gift your equipment, since you have to hold them at the hand at the first place.

Or another way is mark your thing as important so throw/drop/gift wont happen.

And if for inventory transfer between vendor/pet just buy/take it back.

Equip the item if you want to use it, don't put it in the hot bar. This prevents the "yeeting" issue for that item. You can also mark it as important.


I'd show where the option to warn about gifting is, but unfortunately the game is being family shared for me at the moment so I cannot access to give it a screen shot. I promise there is such a setting, though and it's criminal that it isn't enabled by default.

I found out how to stop the accidental throwing, the prompt doesn't appear if the item is marked as important.

I already found the option after checking again following the initial response, but thanks for the help anyways.
