Secrets

Unlock classes for free.
Since the game unlocks a class for the whole save data for other playable characters, this allows players to cheat the system on gaining it. 1. Save your money. Save first, then buy all the manuals for classes, use them, and reload. You'll keep all your money and the classes are unlocked. 2. During the time you're in the Fade rescuing Conner, save before talking to the Desire Demon. Ask for the Blood Mage class first.. Once all the cut scences are over, just reload and you can choose something else. 3. Allister, Morgan, and others offer job classes. Just save up all the gifts and save the game. Give all the gifts to one friend. Talk them into teach you the class, then reload. Class is unlocked and you still keep the gifts.

Glitches

Lothering quest unlimited repeat - free exp/level up
Near the beginning of the game, in the town of Lothering, if you speak to Allison, you can get the quest "Traps are a Girl's Best Friend". You need 3 spring traps (which can be bought, looted or made) to complete the quest. Once you complete the quest, speak to Allison twice. The second time you speak to her, the quest is refreshed and you can do it over and over again for 100 exp each time. As a bonus, you also get 50 silvers each time you complete it. This is a great way to gain tons of cash and exp early in the game. If you need more traps just cross the road to Dane's Refuge and buy trap triggers from Barlin for 2 gold 57 silver per stack of 99. With 1 level of trap-making you can convert the triggers to spring traps. With each stack of 99 triggers you purchase (and convert to spring traps) you can complete the Traps quest 33 times! So for each investment of 2 gold 57 silver you make to purchase the triggers, you can make 16 gold 50 silvers by repeating the quest! What a deal!

Code	Effect
