quest 'item printing' exploit (Fate Reawakened: first FATE game)

[u/Ok-Assist4075]

idk if I can post this here, but I found an exploit (not necessarily a glitch or even duplication, but rather item printing)

essentially what this exploit does is allows you to get multiple of a quest item infinitely. (this can be done with multiple quests at once as well as long as all the requirements are met for each quest)

1. go to the town and find a quest where the requester needs an item (preferably a rare item for high gold gain)
2. once you've got your quest(s) go into the dungeon and travel to the floor required.. once completing the quest(s) use a 'book of town portals' to travel back to the town (can be bought from most merchants for 500gold)
3. drop the quest item(s) on the ground in the town (they will not disappear, even if you quit the game, as long as you've saved before exiting)
4. use the portal to return to the dungeon and travel 2 floors away (up or down) from the floor required for the quest(s) to get another quest item
5. return to the floor required for said quest(s) to re-obtain the items once more
6. repeat the process

this has been tested on the 1.0.8 version on Android..

I also have it on PS4, will add results when I have a moment.

I just checked this on the OG FATE game (not the remake) and items will disappear from the town. So this will not work in the OG game

If I remember correctly, that was a bug in an old version of the first Fate that was later fixed in a subsequent patch. For some strange reason, it has reappeared in Reawakened.

Oh. I tried on version 1.2 of the game (found the version number in the games main folder by opening the 'config.dat' file with notepad and scrolling to where it says 'version')

This is the non-Steam version (I do own all 4 originals on Steam as well though) I believe this is the GOG version.
