Easy
gold
Put your most expensive item in the junk section in your inventory.
Find a merchant, enter the "Junk" section in your inventory, highlight
the expensive item, then press Triangle followed by X very quickly. If
done correctly, your item will be sold at twice its value. It may
require a few attempts. Buy it back, and repeat the process as many
times as desired. It is best if you use two fingers, with one on
Triangle and another on X so you can press them almost simultaneously.
It is recommended you either do this with a merchant that you have not
sold any junk to before, or buy back all the junk you previously sold.
This speeds up the process enough so that you can double the gold as
fast as possible. Additionally, if the merchant has an item more
expensive than the one you are selling, buy it, and use that instead to
increase the amount of gold you get. If you have the Blood Dragon
Plate, this can be easily done with the first merchant.
Easy
experience
You can use the "Easy gold" glitch to basically get unlimited
experience. Once you save the life of the Arl of Redcliffe, a soldier
of his will appear in your party's camp. There will be a box for
donating to the army. Enter the screen, and select the first option to
donate 30 gold. You can do this as many times as desired to get a good
amount of experience from each donation. If you just keep pressing X
then Square repeatedly, you will keep quickly donating large sums of
gold, skipping through the dialog screens, and getting a lot of
experience quickly. If you start getting low on gold, perform the "Easy
gold" glitch again with the merchant in your camp. Note: Be careful, as
enemies will also level as you do. If you get too high of a level and
do not have the correct equipment, you can be quickly defeated.
In Ostargar, do the "Tainted Blood" mission that is unlocked
immediately before you become a Grey Warden. Collect the three Vials of
Darkspawn Blood, but not the Grey Warden Treaties. Return to camp, talk
to Duncan, and report "We have the blood, but not the scrolls." You
will exit out of the conversation, but still get the experience for the
mission. You can repeat this as many times as desired. It does not take
long to reach the level 25 cap if you skip the conversations to speed
up the process.
Note:
This trick requires you have the Trap Making ability. In
Lothering, go to the right after exiting Dane's Refuge (near the center
of Lothering). There will be a quest giver by the name of Allison. She
will ask you to make traps, and requires three traps to complete the
quest. Once you complete the quest, you will get a moderate amount of
experience and 50 silver. You can repeat this quest as many times as
desired; however, the quest will become unavailable as you progress
through the game. To keep repeating the quest, go back to Dane's
Refuge, and buy Trap Triggers. He has an unlimited supply of them. As
long as you have Trap Making, create Spring Traps. Spring Traps only
cost approximately 3 silver to create, and she requires three traps
each time. Thus, it only costs you roughly 9 silver for the quest.
To get extra experience points early in the
game, go to the city of
Denerim as soon as you leave Lothering. Then, enter the "Wonders of
Thedas" building, and purchase the Archivist's Belt. While it is
equipped, you will get an experience point boost for everything in your
Codex. Books will increase from 50 to 75 experience points.
Duplicate
items
This glitch allows you to duplicate gear, ingredients, potions, and
other stuff. First, you need at least two of the item you want to
duplicate. The glitch is basically the same as the "Easy gold" glitch.
Thus, it is best to only have the items you want to duplicate in both
your and the merchant's "Junk" inventory. This help speeds up and
organize things. Put at least two of the item you want to copy in the
"Junk" section of your bag. Go to any merchant, and press Y to sell all
the junk in your bag. Then, select the item from the merchant's side,
and buy back all but one of the item. Next, select it when it is in
your inventory again. Press Triangle followed by X very quickly. This
requires precise timing like the "Easy gold" glitch and may require a
few attempts, but it becomes easy to do after a few tries. You can keep
repeating the process until you have 99 of the item. Some items will
show in the merchant's inventory as being one row of 99, and another
row of a different number (for example, 33). Sometimes the extra items
can be taken and kept; however, other times they will vanish from your
inventory. Be careful about taking the correct row. If you have the
"Warden's Keep" downloadable content, you can store unlimited items in
the bottomless chest so you will always have more if you ever run out
and do not want to keep using this glitch. This glitch should also work
with books that add Skill or Talent points. When you get any of those
books, wait until you have two of them so you can make unlimited copies
and max out your characters.
Free
Specialization books
Save the game, then buy a Specialization book from a vendor. The
message "Specialization Unlocked" will appear. Then, load your saved
game, and you will have the gold back that you spent for the book, but
the specialization will still be unlocked.
When you first arrive at your party camp, you will see Bodahn Fennick,
the Dwarf trader. Speak to him, and view his wares. You will find two
Specialization books, Ranger and Templar. Save the game, then buy one
to unlock that Specialization. Reload your game, and buy the other one.
You will now have both specialties unlocked and still retain your gold
after reloading your game again. This works with all Specialization
books.
Extra
storage
In Lothering, go towards a bridge on the edge of town. There will be a
bridge where a Dwarven father and son are getting attacked. If you save
and are nice to them, they will be in your party's camp when you arrive
shortly afterwards. They are merchants, and the son is an enchanting
savant. The father has good items to start. Buy the items, using the
"Easy gold" glitch if needed. He never seems to lose what you sell him.
You can basically use him as free storage. This works well for players
without the "Warden's Keep" downloadable content's bottomless chest, or
if you do not want to keep traveling to Soldier's Peak to retrieve your
excess inventory.
Extra
backpack in Ostagar
When you arrive in Ostagar, buy the Backpack from the Quartermaster.
Note: You should have enough money all long as you collected sell-able
items and gear during the beginning storyline. Successfully complete
the quest where you and the other recruits enter the Wilds; make sure
you explore the entire map. Successfully complete the "Joining" ritual,
and become a Grey Warden. Before attending the meeting with Duncan and
the King, go back to the Quartermaster, and there should be another
Backpack available to purchase at the same price as before.
Mass
Effect reference
There is a book titled "Load Limit Reached" that you can find in the
Orzammar underground section "The Dead Trenches", near the "Legionnaire
Shrine" at the end of a broken bridge. The first line in the book is
"Mass will have an effect". It mentions a Dwarf named Shepard, which is
the same name as the main character of Mass Effect.
Portal
reference
Note: You must have Sten in your party for this trick to work. At the
end of the game, if you choose to perform the ritual with Morrigan, you
will go to the crowning of the new king or queen. After the dialogue
with Alistair, you can walk around and talk to your companions. Find
Sten, and he will say "Where is the cake? They promised there would be
cake. The cake is a lie..."
Superman
reference
The following event is random and occurs while traveling on the world
map. You will encounter a farmer and his wife who find a baby in a
meteor crash, right after it happens. They decide to take the baby and
raise it as their own. You get the Meteor Ore the baby came in. It can
be made into armor by Wade in Denerim. A good way to get this event to
occur is from one of the Chantry Board missions in Redcliffe. Travel
straight from Redcliffe to Refugees.
