Did a search on this, and I came up empty handed. If these have been discussed before, feel free to inform me and move on!

Anyways, I have 1 point in flash attack. Now when I use it, I warp over to the enemy and loose all my stamina. But if I use it again immediatly after that on another enemy, I warp over to them kill them, and my stamina is completely refilled! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I can basically do infinite flash attacks with only one skill point!

By the way, has anybody noticed how you can infinitly dupe bottles by moving a stack over the ground, holding down ctrl, and then typing in that you want to set 0 (zero) bottles down? The bottle can't be picked up because it will disappear, but you can use it to make a potion from a plant.

Due to this bug you can make as many potions as you want, never using a bottle, as long as you have more than one stacked in your inventory!

um. zero bottles, intresting. and yes, it sounds as if ur flash attack is bugged, mine didn't act like that. (though its a neat bug.) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

The bug isn't a bug with Flash attack, but a bug with stamina. I used to be able to do the same by trying to run when my stamina was empty. I had more trouble replicating it than you did, though.

There must be a bug that allows the stamina to drop below zero, and then reset because your stamina is invalid.

Hmm...I first noticed that if you do flash attack once, you drain your stamina. But of course you immediatly gain a few points back right after you finsih attacking. I thought "Whats stopping me from continualy using flash attack? It says it uses 100% of my stamina, my CURRENT stamina, which could be full or at just a few points."

So I drank a stamina potion, found two enemies and flash attacked both very quickly one right after the other. Not only did it work, but I found my stamina completly refilled after the second one was dead!

Now I can literally warp around so fast that the computer lags because of all the white swirly stuff on screen! And so long as there are an odd number of enemies, after I kill the last one my stamina will be refilled completely.

Frost/life drain weapon + bugged flash attack = cheating? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

(not to mention the fact that I can make potions without using bottles...)

Thats exactly what I was thinking. When I try to do a second flash attack at say, 2 points of stamina, after I teleport and kill the enemy the bug resets my stamina. Incidentally, I can sometimes cause my stamina to reset after one flash attack if I spin attack quickly enough after I warp to the new location.

I'd also like to add that you can do the same duping trick to ANYTHING thats stacked. The only problem is that once you pick it up, it disappears. So duping food or potions, for example is pointless because there's no way to eat or use it without it entering your inventory (right???).

Bottles only work because you can leave them on the ground and drag them over plants to make potions. Once the potion is made, you can then pick up the potion and it won't disapear. It will add to your stack.

Speaking of cheating with the split stack pane, try typing in a negative number and hitting enter...
