You need to find a vendor called Kadala (she's in all town hubs), she will sell you gear for Blood Shards. Spend them there and then you can pick up more
Thats just it.. I went into a rift (never seen a blood shard before then.. I tried to pick one up and I couldnt.
I guess the best way to explain is its like trying to use a different char item and you get the message saying you cant use it.. does that make sense? Sorry its taken me ages to get this far "when" ive been able to get online and now Im not playing solo Im left wondering whats happening.. sorry guys.. newbie here
You probably never noticed your character picking up blood shards because they are automatically picked up by moving over them, just like gold. If you weren't actively looking for them, you likely just didn't ever notice you were getting them. However, once you hit your maximum capacity, the game won't let you pick up any more, leaving the left overs on the ground for you to see in clear view.
Hopefully that makes sense. Whenever this happens, just open your inventory and look towards the bottom next to your gold total and it should show you how many blood shards you've picked up. If you place your mouse cursor over that number, it will also show you what your maximum capacity is. When you're at your maximum, simply head back to town and spend some at the NPC Kadala. Once you've spent your blood shards, you'll be able to go back into your rift to pick up what you couldn't previously just by walking over them, you don't even need to click them.
blood shards are a currency next to your gold btw, mouse over it to see how many can u carry.
I did and I cant pick them up even with an empty inventory
Blood shards do not go into your traditional inventory like a sword or ring would. Blood shards are just a currency number, like your gold number, and you can view how many blood shards you have in your inventory screen at the bottom next to your gold number. Unlike your gold however, there is a limit as to how many you can carry at once. A new player just hitting level 70 would not be able to carry any more than 500 blood shards. If you try to run over blood shards on the ground and it's telling you your inventory is full, it means you're at your current maximum capacity of blood shards and you need to spend them at Kadala in town.
If however on the extremely rare chance you check your blood shards and are not at maximum capacity and you still are receiving this message, then it's clearly a bug and you'll need to contact Blizzard. However, I've never heard of this being an actual bug. Odds are, you just hit your cap and didn't quite understand why you were receiving an 'Inventory Full' message without a full inventory, which is understandable for new players.
Glad you got that worked out. Good luck in game!
