In Dragon’s Dogma 2features an extensive gameplay system that allows you to do almost anything. This RPG even allows you to duplicate items, in a completely legal way (almost). Without the use of mods and cheats, you can easily create a complete copy of any item, and in this guide you will learn how to do it.
Duplicating items in Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be familiar to fans of the first part. As in the original game, in the sequel you can find a special shop where you can order a copy of any item from your inventory. All you need to do is find Ibrahim’s shop. Below we will tell you where to look for a counterfeit master and what benefits you can get from this.
Where to find a shop for making duplicates – Ibrahim’s Hardware Shop
Like in Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, the ability to duplicate items opens up almost immediately. All you need to do is go to a certain settlement and find the right merchant, which can be done quickly once you get to the starting town of Vernworth.
The fastest way to travel is by carriage. To do this, go to the northwestern part of Vernworth and pay the driver for transportation to Border Town. For a more detailed acquaintance with the features of fast travel in Dragon’s Dogma 2, we recommend that you read our separate guide.
The border town can be reached on foot if the adventure road calls you, its exact location is marked in the screenshot above.
Once you enter the settlement, a short cutscene will begin, introducing the name of the place if you are new here. The border town is actually rich in side quests and activities, but you should not rush through them if you are still a low level.
Once you arrive in town, exit the cart and head to the back wall. Follow the right side of the central hub, then turn right and go down the slope. Follow the path to the right. Once you reach the back, turn right again. At the bottom of a small hill, you will find a small shop, which is marked with a special icon on the map. This is what you need – Ibrahim’s Hardware Shop. Talk to the merchant to check out his inventory and order a copy of the item.
How to Order a Fake in the Game – Copying Items in Dragon’s Dogma 2
The Hardware Shop allows you to order a duplicate of any item from a merchant. All you need is at least one copy and a little gold. Once you pay the required amount and hand over the item, all you have to do is wait for the merchant to make the duplicate. The game’s tutorial says you have to wait “a few days,” but in reality, it’s a little over a day.
The copy of the item will be identical to the specified item in terms of appearance. However, it is worth noting that when copying, some properties and characteristics of the item are not transferred. For example, you can order a copy of a stone of movement or even a crystal, but they will receive a slightly different name and will not have the necessary teleportation properties. However, they can be used. Below we will tell you about the items whose copies are really worth ordering.
What items are worth duplicating?
You can duplicate any item you own, except armor, weapons, and rings. While this opens up a lot of possibilities, not all items need to be duplicated. So, here are the items you should order to duplicate.
The features of Ibrahim’s Hardware Shop are most noticeable during quests. Sometimes in quests you will have to decide who to give the desired item to, but with a copy you do not have to choose. This way you will complete two goals at once and will be able to get several rewards for one quest. However, you need to be careful with copies, as they are fakes, and NPCs can guess this.
In the same Border Town, you will probably come across a small quest that will draw you into the local showdown of the merchants’ guild. One of them stole the Jadeite Sphere, but lost it. Now this item is needed by both the thief and the real owner. The sphere itself can be bought in the same Hardware Shop. You can immediately make a copy of the sphere, and then decide who to give the fake to, and who the original. In any case, you will receive several rewards.
Choose what exactly you want to forge. Also, make sure that whoever you give them to won’t see through your scam. It’s a good idea to copy every quest item you turn in, because you might end up needing it for other quests.
