I've always loved old ARPGs. I have played Fate since I was a child. I also love seeing how large I can make numbers until the game doesn't know what to do anymore. So I used cheats and an auto clicker to see just how high those numbers would go. Big surprise, large numbers that the game doesn't realistically expect breaks a few things. The first thing I noticed was the experience. Experience to the next level was now a large negative number, so you would gain a level no matter what you killed. That was cool and all, but when the level is 10K, it doesn't really matter too much. I got to thinking, and wanted to create another character whose sole purpose would be a mercenary, a spell caster specifically. So I did the same thing. Leveled and geared this new character like I had before and went back to the first character to hire. Imagine my surprise to see the hire cost, was 0 GP.

So you can hire them for free. That's neat. What can we do with this?

You can hire your other characters as Mercenaries. But what is important about this is they keep their inventory, equipped and unequipped. We can take that equipment from them. So we have a highly cheated mercenary, that has high gold valve gear, and you can hire over and over again for free, that also doesn't disable achievements... see where this is going? Its the fastest, most efficient, and easiest way to get gold in the game. Here are the steps.

1. Cheat a character to a stupid high level and equip them with high valve gear. You can also fill their inventory, but we will get to this later.
2. Level a new character to 10 (the required level before you can hire a merc)
3. Hire the cheated character.
4. Take all of his items and sell them.
5. Dismiss and repeat from step 3.

It is that easy. Here is an example of an item I put on for gold valve.

A cycle takes... 30 seconds? It doesn't disable achievements either, since it is using the games mechanics. Sure, you could fish for hours and sell the items you get, or you could start enchanting high cost base items and reselling them for profit once you hit level 25-30, but this is a lot quicker.

Another thing I want to mention is the inventory. You can place items such as divine gems, or tarot cards and grab those every cycle as well for more stats. Or more items for gold.

Quest items also carry over. I am currently testing to see if you can use this to skip the urn for example, and I will update here once I have done that.

This will also allow you to duplicate items. So you could duplicate a bunch of high valve rings, and have an entire inventory of gold to sell.

I am sure there are a lot of different ways to use this, and I am testing a couple of things. I haven't seen it mentioned, so I figured I would make a post about it.
