a lot already know this...
but if you're just after gold and you don't wish to use raze's excellent walkthrough on
hexedit (or are just somewhat fearful), the pickpocket skill is for you. 2 points seems to be plenty.
in the BFs there are 5 merchants for you to plunder. look for splitting arrows. i got 4,200 from one merchant! they are worth a ton of gold.
also, a few points in conversion (i think 4 points was a 10/1 ratio) makes 50,000 normal arrows (easy to find)into 5,000 splitters. about 600,000 gold. you then just sell your conversion skill (about 6-10,000 gold) and put the points where you want them.
simple. 10,000 gold and two skill points in pickpocket produce over a million gold. good trade-off.
i have
just started act II, so i know you can also find some awesome arrows that have
extreme value.
here i have 197
special poisons and 18,000 splitters.
lottsa gold yes, those two items are 3 million 200 thousand gold. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />
could you even spend this much???? and i have almost 4 acts to go! weeee.
anyway, if you're just looking for gold and hexedit scares you, try this out.
