2. I've only tried this in West Freeport, but a friend told me it now works in Field of Bone too.
3. Bank all of your no drop gear.
4. Wearing only droppable gear which you wish to loot (lore does not matter, just have someone else around to receive), charm a mob. You must have entered FoB or Freeport wearing only the items you wish to dupe.
5. Give the charmed pet all of your droppable gear, including platinum.
6. Park your pet in a safe place.
7. Find your local guards and attack them. Die. Do NOT let your pet agro, chain /pet back off. I like to mez my pet before charm so he doesn't move.
8. Mark your clock, you must camp for exactly 24 hours to allow your new loot to grow.
9. Run (no ports allowed) back to the zone you attempted the dupe in and slaughter the zone until you find the mob with all your gear.
10. Congratulations! You've been duped.

LOL
who the hell would think to do those 10 steps in order?

Lol, more like Diablo 2 duping at its finest!

well permafrost is bugged - zoning from perma/everfrost (or vice versa) makes mend refresh and function like it did before they nerfed it


i posted it in the bugs forum but i don't think they've fixed it

The prices are no where near what they were on Veeshan during live. The Buy/Sell prices of 90% of the items here make no sense.

Not to mention a majority of the rare items that are on the server. Are they dropping higher here than on live? Maybe, but people know about the loot, how to make some npcs spawn, so its easier to get the items. Either way, I've seen more rare loot on this server than there was on live.

Like Fungi Tunic, sure it should have been common at first. So I understand it being a little higher than normal. But 120k for it? That crap sold for 30-40k max on Veeshan. Cloak of Flames was around 80k. It's amazing at the prices on the server.

I do agree the people who duped and passed off a lot of plat before being banned fucked the economy here. The fact that some people who did this, and are still allowed to play here is surprising( even on a new account). The shit I was told while in Transcendence was amazing. People bragging about using Show Eq, Duping, and zone depops for gods,not just in Trans, but DA, IB and even WI at the time.

last night was raising blacksmithing, put in my hammer and some other materials in a Halas forge to make some chain joining. When I combined it, out came the joining, a file, and TWO blacksmith hammers.

I thought wow, that's kind of fucked up and sold the extra hammer for 10 plat to a nearby vendor. No idea what I actually did to make that happen though.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Doh ho ho!

I hope you all realize that plat dupes and other plat making cheats and/or faults in game mechanics were prevelant on nearly every single live server.

This sever should not be expected to be different in that reguard as there will always be folks out there trying to cheat to get what they want.

That being said, Fungi tunic was pretty much always 75-100k on Povar from 2000 all the way till around 2005. All live servers had different populations, different kinds of players ect. Its hard to compare one to another in terms of an economy.

Besides , we have one thing the lives servers did not : An Uthgaard. He smells bullshit from 6 zones away and doesnt pull punches. I think we are ok.

[Rogean]

We have some pretty sophisticated logging on P99 that doesn't exist on other Emu servers. Most of this was put in place right before Kunark opened. This includes better tracking of items that have dropped and been looted, including from what mob and etc, and it's kept seperate from things such as players looting their own corpse (which is something other servers have combined). What this means is we can tell very quickly how many of a certain item should exist in the game... compare that with the total number of those items from inventories, banks, and corpses, and if there is a discrepency we can track it down.

So if anyone has a strong feeling there is some duping going on, you are welcome to post about it in the petition forum.
