[b43] cloning infusions/runes

#1 Post by NEHZ »

When you get the transbox inventory screen after trying to leave the level, if you switch to your infusions page and use one, it will:
-close the screen
-exit the level and enter the destination level
-give the popup screen allowing you to overwrite an infusin/spend a cat point
-after clicking that you will get the infusion skill and it will function normally
-the item used to get the skill will NOT be removed

so yeah, you can use infusions/runes infinetly this way. Havn't tried it with alchemist potions/heart of the sand queen, if those work you can have endless stats/classpoints/generalpoints.

Just tried it again on a new char, can't reproduce it either. Now that I think about it, it might only have happened when there was an escort on the next level. Otherwise I must have had the exact same inscription twice without noticing it. (I only noticed it happening twice)

Managed to do it again with a Reflection Shield rune. Didn´t really lealize it at the time so I don´t have any specifics.

Inscriptions (3/3)
Rune Reflection Shield
Rune Phase Door
I´ve got reflection shield twice now, though it only shows once on the char sheet.

Edit:
Just managed to reproduce it: I recalled from the tempest guys place, during the exit-zone-inventory popup, I used a rune that was already in my inventory. Then I got on the world map, it opened the choose-what-to-overwrite screen, on top of that screen it opened an achievement (1kgold) screen. After overwriting one of the runes, I still have the run in my inventory.

Edit2:
Now for the really odd stuff!
Just did it again with another rune. Go to other level -> use rune -> get escort quest -> choose runeslot -> the rune is still in my inventory but the duplicate rune from last time disappears.
Yup, I had a phase door rune, a wild infusion and a shielding rune. The phase door was the duplicate from my previous edit. This time I used the shielding rune. The shielding rune and wild infusion are still in my inventory, but the phase door rune is gone.

How to reproduce:
  1. Get some stuff in your transmogrification chest.
  2. Transition to another level so that the transmog chest dialog pops up.
  3. Use an item that requires some sort of input from the user for completion.
  4. (The new area loads)
  5. Click the xx.xx gold gained from transmog dialog to close it.
  6. Complete using the item.
  7. Note that the item's effect has been granted but the item has not been consumed.
Example character with the crystal focus

Note that when using items which do not require input from the user to complete, the object is consumed as normal. (Heart of the Sandworm Queen, alchemist elixirs, etc.) This method also lets you do things like project an attack at a nearby patrol on the world map. (no damage is done though :))

I still need to test whether or not this works with the rod of recall and no transmog chest dialog*. If it does, this may be a harder bug to fix than simply disabling item use on the level transition transmog screen.

*Follow up: Items which take a turn on activation (like the orb of scrying) can be used in this manner when getting yoinked out a zone by the rod of recall. Most items don't take a turn on activation (they turn is instead spent after input confirms the action), and thus can't be abused this way.
