I have the habit of keeping inventory neat, so I always have a gem bag reserved for just keeping magic rings and amulets, another for the gems I picked up.

I happened have two rings of invisibility, those two blue color ones, just normal invisibility, not very great, but will do for soloing when you dont have acess to other magic at the moment.

So I kept these two rings inside the gem bag and I will take one out and equip it whenever need, once invisible I will remove it and keep it back into the gem bag. When I need to be invisible again for the second time of the day, I will take out another one.

Then I noticed that it's seems that I am always taking out the correct one! I then tested and discovered that there is indeed a bug, if you are having two rings of invisiblity kept in the same bag, you will have unlimited invisiblity.

I wonder if this had been posted earlier, or known, but just a small discovery.

Littiz, Irenicus just woke up in cold sweat from a nightmare, coz my mage just reactivated the Kensai.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the tip. I just picked up the second ring of invisibility, from the group in the den of seven. This will come in handy since I am soloing a barbarian. Well not like he needs to hide from anything.

Items become recharged with one charge after having been in a container. Works for all items. Staff of the magi, Celestial Fury, Daystar etc.
I dont know if there is a fix.

this is the recharging effect I have heard about before in past cheese posts, but i never knew details until now...

so its limited to once a day items, eh???

Seems like everything that needs to be said here has already been said... blew me away as I'm blissfully unaware. *note to self - stop ogling at BUN BUN*

Just one question then, what grade of cheese do you guys think this is??? Farmhouse variety? Traditional cheddar? Double Gloucester? Red Leicester? Nachos included?

@BG fan,

It's definitiely Gouda.

I also thought that ToB gets rid of that bug. Yes, I know this is the SoA forum and I respect that but I think this is relelvant to this discussion. Anyone know better with respect to the bug. I'm certain good kevin dorner had a patch to rid of this as well. Not sure if the boys of the TDD got rid of that bug. I've always opted to not use it (but let's leave ethics well out of the conversation.)

This is probably due to the fact that all of the bags and cases are treated as "stores" in the program. When you place an item in the bag it counts as selling (for 0 gp) and when you retrieve it it counts as buying it back (also for 0 gp).

I found this out the hard way when i happened to have exactly 0 gp and tried to retrieve an item from my bag. I got the message "You do not have enough money to purchase this item." Evidently, it checks whether you have any gold at all before comparing prices, since 0=0 and I should have had enough

The sad thing was that I was at the end of the game at the time and had no way of getting any gold!

Had to use Shadow Keeper to increase my gp to 1 and then it worked fine. Weird.

@Ned

I checked the Baldurdash site for the bug fix without success. I also run a saved game (with ToB installed) and the gem bag trick seems to work.

Hmm, something that Kevin overlooked?

If you want to be really cheesy then have a bard get the magic flute ability... unlimited delayed blast fireball and unlimited globes of invulnerability.
