I prefer to earn my money the honest way....by stocking up on potions of master thievery and stealing and selling high value items at the shadow thieves guild Image.

How did you do that with the sword? Was it hit by a Nishruu?

Just trying to figure out why they paid that much. If a Nishruu hit it and rolled its haste charges back over to 65,535 minus a few then I could see why they would pay that much for it.

So why would an item hit by a Nishruu be worth so much more?

Yet another cool bug:
In the planar sphere in the room with the water-warriors, I cast cone of cold on some of them, and one got hit for 1009 Pts of Damage!
I couldnt repeat this bug though, and the others all received normal (around 20 ?) damage from cold.
Where there's a will, there is a way.
And if there is no way, then we're going to hack and shoot it clear!

That resembles the bug with Sunray, where on occasion undead get hit for well over 1000 points of damage. I had that once with one of the Liches in the Kangaxx quest, hitting him for 1046 points of damage. He didn't really survive that Image

I had this with the Shade Lord, think it was 1024.

I think that happens, because the Sunray kills the enemy, and insted of caluculating the excat damage number, or a destroyed factor, it just causes so much damage that it wont survive.

Another bug I found nice, was to pickpocket Kangaxx (sp??) before he turned hostile/started talking (you can puse the game, just as he comes forth) - and got his ring, but when I killed him, I got another ring :-)

Is there a possibility to "recharge" items ,using a Nishruu, up to a maximum of charges (like the Staff of Fire Control or something like that)? I mean can I do it whenever I whant to(by summoning a Nishruu and letting him attack my party), or is it just an accident?

The Nishruu will roll almost any charge item over however the bug is a bit more complex. I've had the charges disappear while resting after the item was rolled.

I'm going to explore the possibility of a Nishruu/Charge Item money bug though...

I had a ring of fire control that got rolled back to 45,000 charges and it sold for about 1,700,000. I exported it to mulitiplayer to see if the value would be the same. It went back to 700gp. Just thought I would pass that along.

Unfortunately the patch rectifies all these problems so if you like selling things for 5 billion then don't install the patch :
