Acquiring two amulets (Dragon Age: Origins)

It is possible to purchase two of these amulets, because Bodahn's stock will completely replenish after the party leaves the Party Camp for the very first time.

• Legitimately obtaining enough gold to purchase this amulet (without the need for downloadable content or exploits) during the first visit to camp can only be accomplished by a Dwarven Noble Rogue (requires the gold from saving the Orzammar scholar and the I.O.U. given by Lord Dace in the origin also) with enough skill at stealing (25 Cunning, Improved Stealing) to rob all npc's in sight and Duncan twice in Ostagar (for master runes). Selling all items except gifts and the PC's primary weapon/weapons and not spending any money except what is necessary to complete the potion/poison/trap quests in Lothering can raise the needed sum. Results may vary depending on random loot attained, saving prior to entering an area and reloading will cycle random chest contents, as will saving and reloading before each stealing attempt.
  • Selling the downloadable content (as a dwarf noble rogue), Blood Dragon Plate and Blightblood will ensure you have enough gold by the end of Lothering and some extra gold to play with as well (if you follow the above also) without sacrificing basic equipment.
  • ps3 Players may not want to get rid of the Blood Dragon Plate, as it is the "good version" of the armor featuring significantly better bonuses.
• The Reaper's Cudgel (The Golems of Amgarrak) can be sold for a huge sum of gold right away and by anyone. This bypasses any need to play a dwarf noble rogue, sell other downloadable content items or be thrifty with your gold, however this item can be difficult to unlock.
• The quest Traps are a Girl's Best Friend can also be used to generate the needed sum of gold. This is due to an exploit allowing it to be repeated endlessly.
