About a week ago, I was doing a mission where you have to find an item to get an item. After killing all the mobs, I searched the mission about 4 times trying to find the item. When I finally found it, it was almost completely buried with only a tiny bit of the tip showing (it was a cone shaped object). Tonight I did the same type of mission--in the meetmedere area with vine doors and gray walls and floors. This time I searched the mission several times but couldn't find the item and had to give up. It seems that items to pick up are always at certain locations in certain rooms. Why doesn't Funcom make sure that all pickup-item types can be seen before putting a particular location on this list? The time I found the item it was in a long room (width of a typical room and length of about 3 typical rooms) that rises up a bit toward the center. I believe this type of mission is new, maybe since 14.2.
