The Setup
Before this exploit can be performed there are some essentials that carry through all versions of the game:
- First of all, one must have two separate save files. These characters must be different classes. For example, one could have a save file with an archer at level ten and then start the game over with a sorceress at level one. The second thing one needs is a second controller. You can do this trick solo, but having a friend help out will make the process go by quicker.
Get To The Bugbear
- Go in, fight the Bugbear, and then rescue the tavern patron. After that, head back up to the tavern via a Recall Potion or the sewer grate, which is nearby the jail cells. Collect your reward. One of the two NPCs should give players a pendant, or a necklace of some sort that is worth a lot of money. That is the key to this puzzle. Now, go and save in the tavern. It should be written over one of the two Bugbear saves. After that, have the co-op partner drop anything of value from their person be it the necklace or any other piece of gear. Take their stuff, sell it, then have the partner import their character from the tavern save.
Doing It Alone
This works out a little differently if you’re doing this by yourself. If that is the case, all you need to do is get up to the Bugbear fight and do the exact same thing — save two separate files, fight, then go back to the bar to obtain the quest rewards, followed by another save. That’s step one.
- Have the first file character drop their stuff to give the sorceress lots of gold. As the sorceress, buy some epic-level stuff in the store. Import in the first character to collect the stuff the sorceress has, or save with the sorceress file and then import her into the first file to have her drop the stuff there. The order doesn’t matter but those are the basics of how you can duplicate items to then sell them for good gobs of gold.
