Just be aware that the boss is bugged and doesn't drop any items if you kill it this way, so you won't get its legendary bow.

    While using the trader trick on PC, it actually duplicated the gold that I would have used to purchase the items. I "bought" every scroll from Sorcerous Sundries without losing any gold, while both vendors gained tens of thousands of gold in their inventory. I was able to save scum the pickpocketing rolls and made off with the scrolls and an additional 50.000 or so gold.

    @svenstevenson2245 6 місяців тому +4

    For the trader trick, carry capacity, if you are encumbered that's what ive noticed stops ya.
    The other one is you can still steal the merchants gold by selling them a bag, going to barter and putting the gold in said bag, but in the case of stealing gold, ive found you must have at least the same amount to steal it. Also it does something wierd to the vendor and drastically increases the money they are carrying, if you steal enough money and donate it back to the merchant, you can find your self stealing 99k per round of doing this.

    If you initiate dialogue with a separated party member and stay on the dialogue options before the actual trade menu you can then switch to another character and cast hold person on the trader. Then have whoever in your party has the best Sleight of hand to simply pickpocket the trader. Even if you fail it just boots you out of the pickpocket menu and you can just crouch and try again. It also helps to literally spam the triangle button(PS5) until you succeed that roll or fail and get booted again. When you have taken all you want simply teleport back to camp with all the members that are not in conversation. Switch back to your companion that is in dialog and just select leave and teleport to camp. The trader will stay held even after you exit dialog and since the trader was in dialogue when you cast Hold Person you have as much time as you want while stealing because the turns never pass while he’s stuck in conversation. Once you are back in camp just end the concentration of whoever cast Hold person and you are done. This will not lose you any standing with the trader and you can do this as much as you want granted the target trader must not be in someone’s vision cone. I did this on Honour mode with Arron from the grove. The one trader chick in the mountain pass that’s alone on the way to the Creche. It also works with Lann Tarv and Roa Moonglow in moonrise tower after you have killed all the enemies in the immediate vicinity. These are some of the best merchants early and mid game as they have quite a lot of unique items in their inventories. Just make sure that after you end concentrating you don’t just exit camp back to the same spot as I’m pretty sure the trader is pissed. Just fast travel to the nearest Sigil and walk back to the trader. Works as of 3/15/24 even on Honour mode! You can also do this to both the traders at the Storm Shore Armory(Deadshot Bow trader) in act 3 and the blacksmith trader downstairs in Rivington and Dammon in act 3 so good loot! I’m sure you can do this to more traders just be careful and make sure the target is not in anyone’s vision cone. This actually made my duo Honour run way easier even with just me and Shadow. Hope this makes sense and helps someone on their journey for the Golden Die!

    another note regarding the trader trick: if you don't have enough gold to cover an item (i.e. you have 200g and an item would cost you 300g) it will fail to transfer the item regardless of where it is in the stack, but since you can sell the vendor back any items you did manage to pull across, you'll quickly be able to get enough gold to cover everything in their stock while still only paying for the last item in the stack... like a 2g bone ;)

    On console I used a similar money exploit with the Druid. Wild shape and attempt to use a throwable like an alchemist bottle, it will just close your radial. Then revert to normal and now you can sell that item repeatedly. Good thing is in act 1 there’s lots of alchemist bottles so I got a 20 stack and it affects the entire stack so I could quickly tap A to sell half for 50g each and would just buy everything they had I wanted and “sell” the alchemist bottles repeatedly with them staying in my inventory until I had all the gold from the vendor as well.

  • @humandisaster3902
    @humandisaster3902 5 місяців тому

    Another trader trick I was using in my playthrough on PC, don't know if it's been patched though.
    Using a class that can "bind weapon" (Eldritch Knight or Blade Warlock) you can bind a weapon, like your most expensive one, go into the trading menu, equip another weapon to your warlock or fighter in that menu, and then sell the bound weapon to the trader. Since it's bound, it'll return to your inventory, and you get to keep the gold.
    Like I said, not sure if it still works but worth checking out if you have Wyll as a Blade Warlock and have the chance.

    Step 1: talk to trader
    Step 2: cast hold person on trader from character outside conversation

Also, whenever a companion levels up, her inventory restocks. Very useful for the final fight.

    Imo it’s not really needed to respec your character to get proficiency and expertise at religion. Sure it’s a foolproof way as described in this video but with headband of intellect, guidance, bardic inspiration (up to 1d10), and enhance ability (for intelligence ability check advantage) imo you’ll have enough. You can also wear shapeshifter boon ring and disguise self for another 1d4 ability check. I had done respec character in the past and it’s a nuisance to reclass back all your characters 2nd time.
    With above setup plus 4 inspiration points I’d think you’ll get that +2 pts to all your character in no time
