Infinite Beginning of (Skill) Quests - All reward LP

Post by InfernoGames »

While inheriting some LP after dying, I accidently got 3 Beginning of Foraging Quests in my Quest Log. I found that inheriting a corpse sets your LP, EXP, Attributes, Abilities, and Skills like normal, but all quests are kept. This causes you to rebuy the skills during the character creation using that LP, and inherit the corpse again to gain another Beginning of Foraging Quest. This can be repeated, and during my test video, I got 90k LP using this glitch.

Test Video: http://youtu.be/MVHw1WooCwk

How to reproduce:
Step 1: Die with at least 170 LP (for inheriting).
Step 2: Create a new character.
Step 3: Do character creation as normal until reaching the graveyard.
Step 4: Inherit LP from your previous character.
Step 5: Purchase Foraging Skill.
Step 6: Repeat Steps 4 and 5. Do this to get multiple Beginning of Foraging Quests
Step 7: Finish Character Creation by Selecting a name and burning in the fire.
Step 8: Complete the requirements for Beginning of Foraging.
Step 9: You now have significantly more LP than you should at that stage of the game.

There was a script for this in one of clients that allowed you to click and get ~50 quests a second

I wonder how many exploits like this shitters abuse in secret. This one would be like someone said, exposed quickly with the achievement thing

With this in mind.......We should do something with the char creation area, maybe a tutorial island? Take away the tutorial quests and instead have an old man teach you how to make and axe and eat/drink. Maybe even a Spar with him at the end. "Now you are ready, get off my land"
so this one time at band camp.............

I reported this over a year ago, and nothing was done to fix it. I kept it in from public notice to help ensure that no one would abuse it in the limited time it would be public and potentially cause trouble, but I guess you gotta make it anything problematic public in order to get it fixed.

Yes, I am very salty I didn't get my cape.
