Exploit: Spawn Duplicates

This seems to be clearly a bug in the beast rather than just a clever use of the tools, but regardless:  it will allow you to spawn multiple copies of many kinds of items.

What it generally cannot duplicate are unique, named, or quest items.  What it can replicate are things like empty soul gems, lockpicks, precious stones, generic weapons and armor, potions, and even spell scrolls.

The steps to duplicate items sounds complex on reading, but actually is pretty simple in practice.  Before you begin, you’ll need a bow (any bow) and at least two different kinds of arrows (say, steel and iron).  Here are the steps:

1)  Equip your bow and one type of arrow, then draw your bow but DO NOT SHOOT.

2)  With bow drawn back (holding the attack button, in other words), press the inventory button (B on the XBox).  You may now release the attach button.

3)  In your inventory find a different type of arrow, then press accept (A button) two times.  The first press changes the arrow type, but the second press will give a message about changing while attacking; fine.

4)  Now while in your inventory highlight the item you want to duplicate and highlight it.

5)  Press the Drop button (X on the XBox), then close the inventory.

6)  If successful, somewhere between 6 and 70+ of the item will spill onto the floor.

In experimenting it was found that for some items it had to be done twice (with lockpicks, for example).  It seems this was only when the item to be duplicated had 2+ already in inventory.
