I only edited the item to include stats that other items had, while removing worthless stats.
I decided to edit it after I wound up with one of my Nobleman's Swords (quick save/load/identify) being 21-50 damage, had +10 strength, and was recuperation time of 15. Nothing else. It was more worthless than my sword of the parasite.
If I go through all the trouble of collecting holy items in order to forge a sword, it better be better than a sword I got in the first dungeon. None of the Nobleman's Swords were remotely better than my Parasite sword.
I hardly call my item edit as "duping" the game. It was a edit to make the item I was getting at least in line with the level of difficulty I faced in obtaining it. Under no circumstances should a level 1 dungeon item be more powerful than the game's "Holy Sword".
edit: Are you absolutely positive that there were no generic randomly generated items in Diablo? Because I remember doing a same type of thing with Diablo that I did here.
