Equipping offhand with a 2H weapon

[Warskull]

This popped up recently, confirmed to work:
BUG: people equip one handed and two handed weapons simultaneously! pls fix trion!!

If your inventory is full and you drag and drop an off-hand into your offhand slot, or drag and drop a 2h over existing items it stacks the weapons and allows you to equip things in combinations that you shouldn't be able to.

Not really useful for rogue/warrior, but ridiculous for mage/cleric. Hopefully Trion fixes it before it gets too out of hand.

Some people have used it to stack a 1h weapon, offhand, and staff.

Nice find. Confirmed on my Cleric. 586 SP before, then I got a 1H and made myself a totem, now I got 859 SP hehe.

Does not work on my warrior, just keeps saying that theres not enough bag space, am I doing it wrong?

Put the extra item you want to equip in your bank. Then fill your character bags up with whatever so there aren't any empty slots. Then drag the item from your bank onto the empty equip area and it will lock in because there isnt any room in your inventory.

That is actually half the reason I posted it here, it is spreading in PvP and so ridiculously broken it destroys PvP. This forum is way better than bug reports. Until then people should at least know why they are getting hit with 4k fireballs and 8k fulminates.

Yeah this was probably the best place to post it if you wanted it fixed. Trion have now said they are aware of it and a fix it coming soon.

Not working anymore? Gives me the error, "Can't equip that since it would un-equip items and there is not enough bag space for them.".

It has been known by Trion LONG before it was posted here, please don't bring stupid logic of "it's going to get fixed when you post it" to an MMO exploit website.

[StupidDog]

Maybe stupid to you, but notice Trion have said it'll be fixed shortly? Its logic that happend, thus cant be that stupid.

[Diesel]

Just an fyi, Trion has known about this 'bug' since ALPHA. It has been posted hundreds of times, they've been meaning to get rid of it, they just havn't gotten around to such a simple fix, it seems.

[Teryon]

Who knows how many guilds have used this exploit for raiding?

Patchnotes:
* Fixed a bug that was allowing some creative people to equip one more weapon than they had hands for. This was not an intentional advantage of being an Ascended.

[~OddBall~]

lol 'some creative people' haha that's awesome

[prettydancer]

Funny that the fix comes the next day it the tip got posted on mmowned.
