Complete the following achievement to unlock Xbox Live Gamerscore points.

Note: This trick will allow you to be, for example, a Templar, Berzerker, Reaver, and a Champion all on the same character as well as have every Talent ability and a massive stat boost. Start the game and get to your party camp for the first time. You will see the Tomes which increase your stats by one and give you a talent to use. Buy it but do not use it. Save these tomes until you get a second one. When you get the second tome, use the "Duplicate items" glitch and copy as many as desired. Before you use it, make sure you save the game. Also, do not choose any specializations until after you have every talent possible. When that is done, use the tome and choose a specialization. When doing the stats, select "Auto Level Up". If you keep doing this, it should unlock the specializations for that character, and you can use the talents for said specialization. be careful when using this glitch and make sure to plan out your stat choices.

Mages are not just magic casters, Once you have acquired the Arcane Warrior style you can easily exchange the strength of armor and weapons to wield or wear them for Magic. You can now use spells and a sword. Do not worry about taking physical damage because of the armor. You do not have to keep your distance and use all the spells desired and still get up close with your enemies. Note: This ability is obtained in the "Nature Of The Beast" quest with the Dalish Elves. You must go into the temple and find a vial that seems odd. A short cinematic starts and it speaks to you. After a long series of questioning, it offers to pass on its talents of an arcane warrior to you and your party in exchange for its freedom.

Vigilance is one of the items you can have Wade craft for you as part of the "A Master's Work" side quest. It is essentially the same as creating the Dragon Bone Armor from Origins after you slay the High Dragon at the Urn of Sacred Ashes Temple, except it is a superior weapon rather than superior armor. The specific quest for forging Vigilance is "Worked to the Bone". This quest is started when you find the Eldest Dragon Bone after defeating the Queen of the Black Marsh. She is accessed by completing the "The Lost Dragon Bones" side quest in the Black Marshes. Once you get the bone, you will need the following ingredients. Note: Wade will give you this list if you show him the bone.

• Diamond (found in various locations, such as the "The Burden of Guilt" side quest in the Black Marshes themselves).
• Greater Warmth Balm (crafted, purchased, or have one left over from Origins).
• Grandmaster Flame Rune (craft, purchased, or found).
• Fresh Dragon Egg (found in the Silverite Mine in the Wending Wood. Look for it in the chamber where you fight the Hurlock Dragon-Tamer as part of the "Last Wishes" side quest).

Wade will ask you two questions about how he should make the blade that will determine its actual abilities. But first, you must decide whether you want a one or two handed sword. Both types have three rune slots.

Base Stats for Longsword (one-handed)

Volcanic Aurum (Tier 9)

Requires: 41 Strength

Damage: 12.60

Critical Chance: 3.60%

Armor penetration: 5

Strength Modifier: 1

+1 all attributes

+15% critical/backstab damage

Base Stats for Greatsword (two-Handed)

Volcanic Aurum (Tier 9)

Requires: 48 Strength

Damage: 18

Critical Chance: 2.70%

Armor penetration: 7.50

Strength Modifier: 1.10

+1 all attributes

+15% critical/backstab damage

Once you decide on the type of sword you want, you must then tell Wade how to balance it. You have two options:

Flexible and nimble version adds:

+.05 armor penetration

+8 attack

+5 cold damage

Raw power version adds:

+2 armor penetration

+2 attack

+5 fire damage

Next, you must tell Wade how you want it forged. There are four choices:

• Sharp as sharp can be: +3% melee critical chance
• Aid in defense: +6 defense
• Effortless swing: +1 stamina regeneration in combat, + 50 stamina
• What Wade thinks is best: Increase the +1 bonus to all attributes to a +4 all attributes bonus

Once these selections are made, then Wade will present you with custom Vigilance.

Look to the corners and have the final Boss follow you. Notice the oversized crossbows (ballistas). Once you are using the ballista, keep in mind depending on where and how close the Tainted God is, you may not get a high dose of damage and it is time consuming. You just have to worry about the long range attacks and sometimes the dark spawn attacking. However if you have party members then you should be alright. They can battle the dark spawn and you can remain focused on the dragon or Tainted God.

This glitch will work for gear, ingredients, potions, and other things. For it to work, you will first need at least two of the item you want more of. For example, you can start with two Greater Injury Kits and you can end up with 99, or sometimes even more of them. This glitch is essentially the same as the "Easy gold" glitch. As with that, it is easiest to only have the items you want to copy in both your and the merchant's "Junk" inventory. This speeds things up, and helps organize things. Put at least two of the item you want to copy into the "Junk" section of your bag. Go to any merchant and press Y to sell all of the junk in your bag. Then, select the item from the merchant's side. Buy back all but one of the item. Next, select it when it is in your inventory again. Press Y then immediately press A. This requires precise timing like the "Easy gold" glitch, but becomes simple to do after a few times. Keep repeating the process until you have 99 of the item. Some items will show in the merchant's inventory as being one row of 99, then another of different number (for example, 22). Sometimes the extra items can be taken and they keep; at other times they will vanish from your inventory. Be careful about taking the correct row. Once again, with correct timing it will be fairly easy. This may require a few attempts. If you have the Warden's Keep downloadable content, you can store unlimited items so you will always have more if you ever run out and do not feel like doing this again. This glitch should also work with books that add Skill or Talent points. If you get any of those, hold out until you have two of them so you can make unlimited copies and max out your characters.

Use the following trick to duplicate Bodan's inventory. When first leaving Lothering you are automatically sent to party camp. If you use the "Easy gold" glitch, you can buy any item from Bodan then travel to any location and return to camp and he will still have it. This is useful to get two copies of the Veshialle Axe, Spellward Necklace, Bard's Dancing Shoes and multiple physical and arcane spellbooks very early in the game.

In Orzammar, there is a man in the Chamber of Assembly by the name of Vartag. Speak with him about earning Lord Behlen's trust. He should give you papers that state that Lord Harrowmont sold the same piece of land to two people. After he gives you the papers, go to the Shaperate in the Diamond Quarter. It is at the opposite end of the entrance to the Commons. Once you are in the Shaperate, talk to the Shaperate and give him the papers. He will tell you that they are forged. After that, return to Vartag and tell him the papers are forged. After you have done this, there is a Persuade line in which you can say. You can do this as many times as desired. Note: It helps if you have a high Coercion skill or high Cunning. Also, if you made a Dwarf Commoner, your sister will take you directly to Vartag once you have entered the Diamond Quarter.
