Why can't all bugs be like this?

I just sold Arbane's Sword +2 to the shadow thieves for 24,779,308 gp.

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

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

huh nope...

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.

What is this hit by a Nishruu stuff about?

Lucian · Post by **Lucian** » Tue Nov 14, 2000 2:04 pm

a nishruu drains charges from magic items..and causes mages to loose spells

Skeelo · Post by **Skeelo** » Tue Nov 14, 2000 2:32 pm

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

Lucian · Post by **Lucian** » Tue Nov 14, 2000 2:40 pm

listen to what he say..they migth have drained so much that its charges tipper over and became negative..the merchants would think it was an astromical number left..and offer a matching price

It's all facinating really but the thing is it wasn't hit by a nishruu

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.

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

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?

Nighthawk · Post by **Nighthawk** » Fri Nov 17, 2000 10:00 am

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 :
