20 Simple Game Exploits That Make You OP

5. Infinite Dragon Scale Armor - Dragon Age: Origins

In Dragon Age: Origins, the toughest enemy you can fight is, as the title may suggest, a giant fire-breathing lizard.

The task of taking down a dragon is incredibly hard, but it yields a proportionally powerful reward in the form of the Dragon Scale Armor that provides some of the best defense stats in the game.

The problem is that dragons in Origins are rare. So rare, in fact, that you will only be able to obtain enough scales to craft a single Dragon Scale Armor in your entire playthrough.

Or you can just fool the game into letting you forge as many dragon armors as possible.

After you complete the master blacksmith Wade's Drake Armor crafting mission that unlocks the quest for crafting Dragon Scale Armor, simply sell the dragon scales to a merchant before commissioning Wade to make Dragon Scale Armor.

Selling the scales will cause the smith to forge the armor without expending them, and once you buy them back, you can repeat Wade's mission again for as much legendary armor as you want.

Look, the dragon boss is big enough to justify you getting a dozen armor pieces from its scales.
