Sorting Guide: Find the Last Missing Items

Finish one collection at a time, then use placards, Arcane Sight, Highlight Remaining Items and recovery in the right order for the final cleanup.

Updated September 20, 2026

Read this first

Complete a small collection first. For the final objects, check placards, use Arcane Sight on a named item, then highlight or recover only when a normal sweep stops working.

PAGE 01

Choose an achievable first target

A single egg is a useful starting target. Large visible objects also help clear your view of smaller clutter. This is a suggested order, not a required route.

PAGE 02

Move on only when that shelf is done

Use the completed placard’s distinct indicator to separate finished shelves from unfinished ones. Hover any ambiguous placard to read its item name.

PAGE 03

Reserve a whole-shop search for cleanup

For the final sweep, choose Highlight Remaining Items in Pause and confirm YES. Follow the green markers to the loose objects, then collect and shelve them.

The confirmation warns that highlighting many remaining objects may temporarily affect performance.

Scale the plan to the shop

Use these as three planning patterns, not timed records. A short walk with a nearly full pack can be more useful than repeatedly crossing the shop for isolated copies. Reassess when a collection finishes.
