Treasury Legendary Duplication (Bug? Exploit?)

[Demon Swords]

You can duplicate legendary by saving, Placing a legendary on the platform (normally costing the item from your inventory), then loading back to before placing it (giving you back the original), and the legendary will be on the platform letting you to pick it up. (so now you have the original and the picked up one.)

There is the limit since picking it up still prevents you from picking up items from that platform again.

Considering that it normally costs the item to place it on the platform, I assume this is a bug / Exploit.

You can also copy martial arts from using Steles as well, but you don't lose the martial art when doing so, nor does it require any save / load shannagins, so I assume that is intentional.

Edit: Now that i have a better understanding on this topic and another exploit around the treasury, I'll be writing a new post better covering this and how it could be reworked.

It's intentional. Since there're only 8 spots, you don't want to put 8 same items for ng+.

If it was really intentional why have us lose the item on place and force us to load to duplicate the item. If they want item duplication just let us place the item for free (while not letting the item stay between loads) and still be able to pick it up afterwards.

I haven't ng+ yet (since I've been stubbornly refuseing to play below Nightmare difficulty, and keep resetting when I realize i hadn't got a good enough MC build yet). but is that how it works?

If i do the dup method and take it, it doesn't show any item on the platform unless i place another one (and could then return that item to my inventory by loading again to before i placed it and still have one on the platform.) Was also able to place an item, load, take that item, load, and be able to place items there again. (so an endless loop until I save with having 2 of them.)

Would starting with 6 of the same item even be bad? If i could start with 6 legendary armors that aren't too build specific I could ignore trying to get better armors for a big chunk of the game. At least seems better then going for legendary weapons that I might not use if i choose different party members / mc's weapon.

The home has it's own savedata that is seperated from the main savedata. That's why even if you save before taking stuff from the platform, items on it are still gone after you grabbed it once. The platform is actually not designed for duplication glitch but for ng+. Since you are still on ng, you haven't tried to take anything before, you can duplicate items. However, normally in ng+ you just grab everything you previously stored in ng so you won't be able to duplicate items anymore.

You can if you want. I just don't recommend it since there're only 8 spots

Pretty much this. Think of it as a bonus for the first time you play and unlock it. Similar to how you can scribe a manual onto a Steele, then immediate get a second copy of it. While on NG+ you wouldn't want to do that since you can only take something from there once.
