Commonly Duped and Hacked Items
Commonly Duped and Hacked Items
Hacked Items
Indestructible: Any item that is not ...of the Ages, and is indestructible, is hacked. The main reason there are so many items that have been hacked to be indestructible is because nobody wants something to break in the middle of battle, and people hate to repair things. Another main reason it's so common is because there was a set of instructions on how to make an item indestructible somewhere on the internet, so everyone was doing it.
Uniques: The only unique rings in multiplayer are the Ring of Engagement, Constricting Ring, Bramble, Ring of Regha, and the Bleeder. There are NO unique amulets. Most (possibly all) unique items have been hacked into rings, the most common of which include Messerschmidt's Reaver, Demonspike Coat, and Dreamflange. Any unique items that don't match the picture and obvious use on the Unique Listing page are hacked. Lightforge is always hacked, it doesn't exist.
Lightforge: There is much contravercy over this item. I mailed Blizzard (if you want complete details, visit the Lightforge Page) and they say that Lightforge does exist, as a mace, in single player. Therefore, there is NO way to legitimately get this item in Multiplayer.
Ring of Thorns: I've heard people asking for the hacked version of this that does 10-20 damage. Note that the Ring of Thorns has only ONE version, which does 1-3 damage.
Duped Items
King's: This is undoubtably the most often duped set of weapons in the game. Almost any King's weapon that you trade for that is a Bastard Sword is duped, and most other types of weapons are dupes too. The best thing is to not trade for them, or ask for something less, like a Champion's something, instead of a King's. You don't lose much in terms of damage and to hit, but you gain a much higher odds that the item is legit.
Godly: These are the most often duped armor in the game. Either Tower Shields or Full Plate Mail, these are almost always hacked too, and are Indestructible. Even if you trade for one that isn't indestructible, odds are extremely in favor of it being duped.
..of the Zodiac: These are often duped, though there are some legit ones that exist. You should be wary of anyone willing to trade them for anything less than the best stuff. There are some Zodiacs that are almost always dupes. They are the Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac, and the Jade Amulet of the Zodiac and the Obsidian Amulet of the Zodiac. Nobody in their right mind would ever trade one of these away.
