Title: Acrobatics Are 500
Post by: CautionFlammable on April 19, 2006, 08:06:00 PM
ok i had a glitch happen to me when i got a 100 in willpower my magicka went down to 180, for no reason... but i was searching for a way to fix this on any forums i could find and i came across this glitch http://forums.xbox.com/3792376/ShowPost.aspx the way it works is it lets you drop ring but you keep the effects!

I did it it works but don't do it to any skills that really only allow you to do better spells like destrucion, i did it there and now i can't get it under 100 so i can't use any spells over novice on destruction since that was my origanal...

Anyway have fun with it i would make a backup file before though. by the hopes this ones new

That sounds really cool.. too bad the guys information is all jacked up. I made copies of my sigil stones before I read this.. how he says to do it is totally wrong.
QUOTE
PART 1
This will explain how to make copies of sigil stones:
1.Have 2 types of arrows in your inventory and a bow
2.Equip one of them and pull RT to shoot(don't release it yet), press B to go to inventory
3.Click on arrows(equiped ones) 2 times, then go to the sigil stone you wanna make copies of
4.Drop the stone
5.Press B to exit inventory
6.Pick up all the copies of sigil stone from the ground

You arent supposed to click on the equiped arrows. Click on the unequiped arrows twice then go drop whatever you want to clone, now go back to your weapons and drop the unequiped arrows, now press b to exit. You now have clones.. make sure the volume isnt way up as the sigil stones will be really loud.

Also in "PART 2" he makes the same mistake about clicking on the equiped arrows. After step 10 on part 2 I loose track of what he's trying to say. "-now drop that ring(both copies if you see them) Wahhh?
Hopefully someone will clean this up so its understandable and correct.

i click on the equipped arrows twice and it works fine for me... the guide i have is:

QUOTE
The instructions give the easiest way to get this glitch to work... you must equip the exact number of arrows that I will list

1) Equip Iron/Steel/Elven Arrows (2)
2) Pull back using RT then click B
3) At inventory screen, Click A twice on the Equipped Arrows
4) Drop the item you want to keep the constant effect from
5) Exit Inv. Screen
6) Pick up the arrow you fired and the 2 rings you just duped
7) Equip one of the duped rings and Equip Iron/Steel/Elven Arrows (10)
8) Pull back again, click B
9) Double Click on the equipped arrows
10) Now drop the Unequipped Dupe of the ring you're wearing

Notice that even the equipped ring will be dropped.


it doesn't have to be a ring, works with armour etc as well... that guide probably doesn't need to be so long, but it works...

ok i make my own directions

1.Do the dupe glitch to a ring and the sigil stones.
2.use the stone to enchant the rings

NEXT

1.pull back on the bow hold it, and hit B
2.equipt(sp) the ring you want to have the perminate effect, now make sure theres only 2, 1 is equipped and the other will just be in the invetory.
3.next go and change the arrow to a second type you have hit A twice on them
4.now go were the in the invetory are rings are drop the one that isn't equipt. this will cause both to drop and you still get the effect of the first one.

Also you can do this at the spell making alters if you have enough money, not a problem for me i got 6 million

P.S. sorry about spelling, i'm a little tired

You don't have to have 2 sets of arrows at all.

Simply this:
-have a bow and arrow equipped
-Draw back on the bow (hold RT) and while holding enter the menu (press B)
-Move to the Arrows you have equipped and unequip them (press A ONCE), a message will pop up saying you can't unequip weapons while attacking (it wont work unless this message pops up)
-Move to the item you want to dupe and drop it (press X)
-Exit the menu (press B)

The item you dropped will be duped by the exact number of arrows you have equipped, you can even dupe other types of arrows. their are very few items I've found that can't be duped, some of those include

-Skeleton Key
-Nirnroot
-Soul Gem with a soul in it
-stolen items where you have no not-stolen version in your inventory

Your method works because you do my method plus a whole bunch of unnecessary steps, I did your method a couple of times to try it out and then I did it without following that method exactly by accident and discovered most dupe guides had a whole lot of unnecessary steps.

You actually don't even need to have the bow drawn, if you're blocking or doing something else that would prevent you from unequipping the arrows the dupe will work. The key is that you must try to unequip a weapon with a quantity higher then 1 and receive the message that says the item cannot be unequipped, it's most easily accomplished by drawing a bow and trying to unequip your arrows.

So with this can you actually build your primary skills and gain levels? Or this only allows you to bump up your specific attributes level with magic items, just stacked on top of each other?
Title: Acrobatics Are 500
Post by: CautionFlammable on April 20, 2006, 07:16:00 AM
it just bumps up the the attributes. it the same thing  you have a 49 in destrution and you put on a ring that give you 5 more destrution. You will hav 54 destrution but that wont effect the kind of spells you can buy your character will be a apprentice not a journeyman.

It works great i finally got my acrobatics really high attackeda bunch of people in the town then jumped onto a building. also very usefull on mountains

Ima try that when I'm done with the game.  I'll make the most rediculously powerful spells with all that Intel and Willpower... hehehehehe...

Can you say
120 Shock
120 Fire
120 Frost
120 Health
Damage on target in like a 60 foot radius?

KILL EVERYTHING!

This increases your attributes, not your level.  When making a spell, you are  limited by your level.  
This trick is really only something you should do in either moderation or after you have maxed your guy.

Also, remember to not use this for personality since there is a quest that requires you to drop it.


For the record, I found this trick several weeks ago when I posted about the effects of a helm staying when it wasn't on.  I just didn't know how I did it.

I also did this trick on mistake with the ring of the vipereye.  And you can dupe black soul gems, i did it today, but could not dupe a black soul gem with a soul in it...

Duping does not "work" for me. The only items I've been able to "dupe" are rings and gems, but they are only "superficial", not tangible. I've never had more than one or two duped items drop, though the number of arrows dropped has been 10-35. They are only pseudo-duped. They show up in my inventory, but when I go to enchant items the rings and stones are not there, only the ones I obtained legitimately. I tried going to a shop to see if I could sell them, but they aren't there. I dropped them, but only the "legitimate" ones hit the floor, the others "vanished".

Another weird thing is that the "power leveling" doesn't work for me. I counted the number of times I raised 3 lesser attributes then leveled. I reverted to a save then leveled the minors to 10x's each (including the prior count), but when I slept I got the same +'s as I did the first time, only a +2 to personality was added.

I think my 360 got smart to the cheats.

Oh, and it seems Kameo fubared my load times. I'm off to make a rant thread.

Post by: twistedsymphony on April 21, 2006, 08:28:00 AM
I should note that if the quantity of the item you're trying to dupe is greater then the number of arrows you're un equipping then it wont work.

I should also note that the dupe sometimes just wont work for whatever reason (maybe 1 in 5 times it doesn't work), simply doing it again usually does the trick if the item is dupe-able.

Also if you have say 30 arrows and 5 gems and you dupe the 5 gems you'll only see 6 hit the floor, but each will have a quantity of 5.

Duping items you already have a quantity of is difficult and unless all are dropped it usually doesn't work, it also has a higher probably of just not working at all.

Well I might as well do this. I'm level 45 and completed everything in terms of main missions except the last two theives guild quests.

Finally I can be a mage with a sword and heavy armor who can sneak like a theif and jump higher than a something.

Hmmm. The possibilities. I could get so powerful I could kill every single killable (is that even a word?) person in the game and claim the empire for myself.

So just the same as wearing an item that increases stats anyway?

Raise your attributes high then raise a level and your 'base' attributes will be how they were originally.

Yea the rings effect just masks you real level. The only annoying thing is that you can tell what you real level is. By the way if you do the acrobatics DON'T jump out of the water onto rocks or objects you will go into them.....

A few notes on this trick:

1.  Each item that you want to use has to be unique to your inventory.  For example, after you have done the trick with the ring of wizardry, you cannot do it again.  In other words, each time you find a unique item in the game, you can do the trick once.  OR if you get some sigil stones, you can make rings and amulets with unique names and do it all you like.
2.  As usual, you cannot do it with armor, only rings and amulets.
3.  If using bows, be sure you have a very high count of arrows.
4.  Sometimes the effects are messed up: I added two +125 feather rings this way and I only got +8 on one of them....  Maybe that is the max my person can carry, but the rings are supposed to be independant of that.
5.  Don't do this trick with anything you may want to remove later, like life detect or night eye.

personality good thing the same day i tried to do the quest that needs you to lower it
I did it with waterbreing almost did with




also this works with intellegence and magicka. i got my magicka to around 2500 and it regerates really fast from the intellegence
Title: Acrobatics Are 500
Post by: Ozy on April 27, 2006, 08:40:00 AM
Ok;

500 strength
1000 Intelligent
1000 Wisdom
250 Agility
150 speed.

All major skills are at 100 anyway.

400 Acrobatics.

So 2000+ health/fatigue/magika

My character is now a god.

So I went around the world killing everything (even the unicorn) but I found out some guards and npc can't be killed.
So with infamy up to 400 and my bounty near 1 million I still have people coming after me.
It was fun killing up to 12 people with one spell but it had to come to an end (because I got board). Anyway the point of my rampage was you can't conquer the empire.

My spell is 100pt for fire/shock/frost in 50ft for 1 sec and light for 5 sec in 50ft with 100% weakness to frost/shcok/fire.

It costs about 1800 magika.
