Eschalon - Book I
Item duplication:
-----------------
Submitted by: RM
First, save your game, either quick or regular. Then take an
item either from your inventory or an item on your equipped
item screen and and hold it in the cursor. To hold it, just
left click the item as if you are going to drag it. Now with
the item on cursor, hit the esc key and go to restore and
restore the saved game you saved before this. Now you will
get a screen as you load the game that says something like:
Do you want to drop this item on the ground, yes or no? Hit
no, and then you can open your inventory up and then place it
in there and you will now have 2 of that item. This helps a
lot with money, as you can use this trick to gain money to
pay for extra skill points at trainers.
You can also duplicate items from random chests. Press [F2] to
quick save the game when you find a chest. Take the item if
desired after the chest is opened. Enter the inventory screen and
hold the recently obtained item with the pointer. Press [Esc] and
select "Restore". Choose to restore your quick save game. Answer
"No" when asked to drop the item, then place it in your inventory.
You can now open the chest again and repeat looting the chest.
Pick and choose your loot:
--------------------------
Using the same method as the item duplication with the random chest
cheat you can choose which items you want from chest. All you have
to do is, find a chest and quick save by pressing f2. Then, open
chest, if there is something that you want in there take it. Then
open you inventory and left click the item you just got. Then hit
esc until you get to the screen that allows you to restore your saved
games. Restore your saved file that you made earlier. Now you will
get a screen asking you if you want to drop the item. Say no, and
then put it in your inventory screen. Now you have the item you want
and you can open the chest and do it all over. You can do this as many
times as you like. All chest, besides ones containing quest items are
random. So you can use this to find rare items.
Before I left the first village I have full gear, rings and trinkets
for my level 1 and did not spend any gold.
Tips and Tricks:
----------------
When you encounter a locked chest/drawer/cupboard, save your game before
trying your luck. If your lockpick breaks, reload the game and try again
until you are successful in one try. This way, you'll never have to
replenish lockpicks again.
Similarly, if you encounter a body/skeleton, save before clicking the body.
If you are not satisfied with your items, reload and try your luck until
you get something good.
Note that this also works with initially unlocked drawers/chests.

If you run out torch in a crypt or just in the dark, just adjust the brightness of
your monitor and you would see where to walk. Though you see your way, your enemy
would recieve minimum damage or no damage at all.
Can quick travel with crucible:

This is a tip I found out last night, after getting the crucible misson I thought of a
little trick, instead of going all the way with it. Just go to blackwater get the quick
travel, go back pick up the crucible don't put it in your inventory, just hold it in your
cursor, and press the blackwater transport on your map it'll still transport you with the
thing in your cursor. Basiclly you keep it in you cursor hand with out adding 70lbs
to your inventory's weight.
