Dupe #1:
1) When you get the message saying battle.net servers will be shutting down
in 5 minutes, make a game with the character that has the items that you want
to dupe.
2) Have a friend join the game, and start muling the items that you want to dupe
3) Quickly have your friend leave the game and join another game before the
realm goes down.
4) The character that had the items originally just sits in that game until
the realm goes down
5) When the realm comes back up, both characters will have the items.
Dupe #2:
1) Go cowing/questing etc. until you lag-out in a game. You will know have
?lagged-out? when you can?t type anything and it takes about 40 seconds+
(give or take) before what you type appears on the screen. For the sake of
simplicity, the person lagged in the game is player A.
2) Get player B (A Friend) to log onto your account. Have him attempt to
join your game, and it should say "Game Does Not Exist" (GDE).
3) Player B joins a new game (let's say: Idupe1/1).
4) Player C joins that game, and helps player B transfer all of the items
off of player B to a new mule.
5) Exit player B and C.
6) Exit player A.
NOTE: This method works 95% or so of the time and the easiest way to get
make a character lagged-out is to use an elemental druid or a necro. Using a druid, create elemental attacks that make holes etc. in the ground. For a necro, use bonewall over and over again.
Dupe #3:
1) Player A (the player with the items you wish to dupe) creates a game and
waits for the second player (Player B) to join. Player B must have an
automatic item grabber such as Pickit or Grabit activated.
2) A third player (Player C) that also has an Item-Grabber activated joins
the game and goes to another act, other than the act that the first 2 players
are in (Act 1).
3) Player A and Player B stand near the waypoint in town in Act 1and wait
for Player C to come to Act 1.
4) The Difficult part--Player A gets ready to drop the item that is going to
be duped and then at the same time, player C comes to Act 1 with an
Item-Grabber activated and causes the game to crash since both Item-Grabbers on both Player B and Player C fight for the item until the game crashes.
5) Start a new game with Player B and Player C to see which one picked-up
the item. Player A will still have the original item in his inventory. And the
item has been duped.
Dupe #4
It is supposed to have an approx. 25% chance of working. Here are the steps:
You need: Zon with poison javelin, Necro with bonewall/poison nova, a
willing mule.
1) Zon/Necro/Mule all go into the same game.
2) Necro bone walls the hell out of the Blood Moore (sp?).
3) Zon poison javs the hell out of the bone walls. The necro also poison
nova's the bone walls.
4) The combination of the two causes major server side lag. (we hope)
5) Once the mules ping hits a huge rate, somebody else logs into the mules
account.
6) Select the char the mule is using.
7) Attempt to join the game the mule is in. You should get 'Failed to join'.
8) Keep trying to get in untill you get 'Game does not exist'. The game is
now de-synched.
9) Mule outside of game makes a new game, drops all the stuff.
10) New mule picks up the stuff. Save and exit.
Dupe #4 (detailed version)
Part I: The Setup
A preferred character setup is this:
1)A necro with high level bone wall and poison nova.
2)2-4 Javazons with decent psn javelin and at least one with good slow
missile(6 is excessive and makes splitting hard).
3)A mule with 2 sets of cd-keys and D2 loader so they can run 2 D2s at once.
(2 computers should also work)
Also, the mule should have a game waiting for him with a trusted friend
where he can drop duped items.
Part II: The Procedure
1) Everyone enters a normal difficulty game (duh!) and make sure to have your
fps and ping showing (do this by typing fps into the chat window in the game)
2) Everyone but the java with slow missile join one big party.
3) The mule goes and stands out in the blood moor about 10-15 yards out.
4) The javazon with slow missiles (not in the party) hostiles the entire
party.
5) Everyone go out in to the moor about 5 yards.
6) Javazon with slow missile casts slow missile a few times while the necro
surrounds the mule with an ass load of bonewalls. Once everyone is slow
missiled invite the hostile zon into the party (just incase) and get everyone in the party.
7)Once everyone is slow missiled and the mule is surrounded in bonewalls, have
the javazons start firing their poison javs. Try to stand far enough away
that they leave a trail but close enough so you hit the bonewalls. Also try to
get all the javazons hitting the same place as this makes the poison stack.
8) The necro should also start unleashing poison novas now if he has them.
9) Since this is normal the bone walls will fall pretty fast so have the
necro keep remaking them as fit.
10) Your ping should climb into the thousands easily (I have hit about 4500
while doing this) Once you have build enough lag (Try around 2000 or so) have the mule log into his account with his other D2 and start trying to enter the game you are lagging to hell. He should get failed to join repeatedly. After a while, he should get game does not exist. When this happens join the game with your friend waiting. Drop the items in THIS GAME, not the lagging game.
11) You have now duped the entire inventory of the mule. When he disconnects
the character should roll back and get his full inventory back while the duped
items are still waiting in the game with his friend.
12) Dispense items among yourselves.
Part III: Notes
While this is possible with 1 java, 1 necro, and 1 mule. It is probably
easier with at least one more java if not 2-3.
This still has a chance of failing even if you do it perfectly. We got out
ping to over 4000 one time and the dupe failed. If at first you don't succeed
(and your probably wont) try try again.
This works. Try to get people you know and trust to do this with you. That
was you can actually make it worth while. I wouldn't bother with this to dupe (2) 3/20/20's or something like that, it's too time consuming. If your mule is
duping 4 socket valors for all I'd say rock on.
1) When you get the message saying battle.net servers will be shutting down
