Item duplication
« on: May 25, 2014, 08:29:40 am »
There's what you need to have:

- an item with certain quantity that's greater than one. Let's call this item "Foo" and it's quantity "X".
- another item with quantity different from "X", it can be an item that normally can't have quantity i.e. armor. Let's call this item "Bar".
- a container.

Now, the algorithm:
- place Bar right behind Foo in your inventory
- open the container
- alt+shift+click on item Foo, splitting window will appear
- confirm splitting

Foo will be transfered to container with quantity of X. You will also have two stacks of Bar with quantity of X/2.

There's one more thing: item that gets duplicated is not always right behind Foo. The more accurate description would be "item that moves to position of Foo, after Foo is transfered". So if in your inventory there is only one item in last row of items, you scroll inventory to the very bottom and transfer Foo (last row of items should disappear), item that was on top of Foo will be duplicated.


That's how Diablo should have done it's item duplication! Fast an reliable.

Cheers. Fixed for the next update.

The problem was you could both split an item (shift+click) and transfer the same item (alt+click) at the same time which, as you noticed, caused the split to apply to the item that remained on the position of the item being split.

All accounts found using this exploit will receive a 72 hour ban. :P
