duplicate artifact

#1 Post by atan59 »

An artifact was sold at a shop while I was holding the same in my inventory.

Also, since that artifact is a quest reward, it should probably not appear in a shop anyway.

One of the rings was dropped by the Shade, the second one was found in Moria.

The second one is not as big a surprise; if the Blood of Life is generates in a shop you'd hope to be able to see it again! But two copies of the Barkwood looks like a serious bug of some kind. I think that artifact is supposed to only be possible at the point of killing OMW...

I don't remember trying to sell it, no, but I'm not 100% certain.

I can recreate this if I force the program to close after selling an artifact. Are stores' inventories not held in the save file?

Hummm the savefile is split in multiple fiels but I dont see how this specific case happens yet, can uyou describe exactly what you do ? Where you get the artifact where you go and so on up until closing (and you mean killing it without a chance to save I imagine ?)

Yeah, I realized I wasn't too clear.

Save before getting an artifact, sell it, force close tome, get it again, go to the same store, and voila.

After you sell it did you leave the town ?

yeah... that actually is a known (and very abusable) bug, that dg and I have know about for a while. You could abuse it even further than that, but that somewhat takes the fun out of the game... ;)
