Iron shield infinite money bug

[Trefoil]

Ok, here's what happened.

I'm wearing the leather packpack (crafted by the blueprint bought in Monsoon), and I picked up an iron shield from the bandit in Hollowed Marsh (60 silver each, good way to make money).

But what's strange about the shield is that, every time I drop it and pick it up, two Iron shields appear in my inventory, one in my pocket, one in my backpack. The iron shield in my pocket behaves usual, but every time I try to sell the iron shield in my backpack, it always reappear in my backpack after the transaction.

I realize this is a way to make infinite money which could make the game not fun, so I don't want to exploit it. Now I'm keeping the magical iron shield in my stash and swear not to touch it again. I'm not sure if it's a bug specific to this iron shield, or is it a bug with the leather backpack.

I haven't tested it yet. I'll go grab another iron shield from the bandits and see if it works for all iron shields.

Yeah, they should patch that as soon as possible.....maybe put a spoiler on the method:D

My bad.
Have you had this bug too?

Did you report this as a bug? Or just post it here so other people can exploit it and potentially diminish their experience ?

I had a similar bug with a few items in a coop game. I was in a buddy's game, I deconstructed a few items to cut down on weight, one was an iron sword. I may have had multiple of them in my pack at the time. When I got back to town to sell, every time I sold the sword, it reappeared in my pack. I put some silver in the pack, it disappeared, but I did manage to get 37 silver into it. The silver never depleted, I could transfer 37 silver out of it to pockets an infinite number of times. the backpack was itself a silver black hole though and could not store silver. I bought a second backpack later as money was not a problem, and transferred my goods into that one. No trouble with the newer backpack, but merchants in town got swindled by the magic sales for about 15k.

Also there was a phantom weight bug tied in as well, where the weight of the bugged silver in my pockets wouldn't reset after transferring to another pack I was not wearing. But moving items in or out of the pocket, especially stacks of recently bugged items seemed to clear it.
