Can't get scimitar- tips?

Does anyone know how to get the scimitar from the bandits? Also, the cbow as well.

Im playing on TLC, so, is it possible to get it on TLC?

Please post how you got and screenshots if possible. I at least want to know if its possible to get it on TLC.

THNX.=]

BTW... I will reveal my maxed out money making secret if you all help me out (I got 9999999 gold, and did so under normal gameplay circumstances... i didnt hack, cheat, glitch, etc.) ;)
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

Well I am pretty sure you can get it on TLC, but even on that ittakes an extremely long time. I do not know anyone who got the Scimitar through normal circumstances, but apparently you just sit and wait...

Sorry I couldn't be much help.
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

well, thats the thing, people say you just wait.

But, do you wait until they put it down? Is it the bandits who are holding the scimitar? (ide assume so...) Did they sit down by the campfire, under the bar tent, or go to sleep and put it down?

I also heard someone say you sleep until its floating in the air... but that seems kinda, err, wierd.

Meh. I just need a few more specifics so that i at least know im waiting coreectly (in the right place and whatnot)

How long does it take?


If anyone has gotten it, tell me about your waiting experience and what part of the bandit camp did this maricle happen?


thnx for the help////


Also... the bandits keep looking at me, cheering me on, and wont go about their business unless i go away or sleep. How to fix? Is it a problem?
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

You just wait until some random bandit comes and puts it infront of you to pick up...

I also think it's in Twinblades Tent but not sure about that.
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

I just got it... I also got the bandit Crossbow, which is just titled "Crossbow"
I went to the first part of the Bandit Camp, waited (during the day) then slept until night, I talked to one of the guys sitting on the ground, he got up much faster than he is supposed to and walked away, leaving his sword on the ground. I talked to the guy next to him, and he left his crossbow. Both weapons only do 20 damage :(
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

Sweet! Well done! Any screenshots? I might try this now.
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

wow.... yay +rep!

and another thing... i guess the way you make money is by renting houses? thats how i got rich....
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

Yes, you just sleep in the camp and talk to a few of them. It does not matter if it's the elite camp or the normal one. In addition to the scimitar and crossbow, there's also a mace I found in the elite camp.
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

Do you have to be a certain alignment?
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

I'll tell you why this happens. The bandit actually puts the weapon down when he sits. The glitch part comes when you forcebly remove him from his position by sleeping in his bed.
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

Cunning Keshire! So the getting the Scimitar through normal means is actually just a glitch? Does this mean it is possible to get the Slayer through normal means as well?(Since the big bandits wield them sometimes).

Every weapon is weildable. It's just a matter of getting it.
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

Hey Keshire, when I mod the summoner's sword into the game it doesn't fit onto my back properly,(More like balances on my shoulder somehow. Anyway of changing this?

You'd have to edit the model manually in a 3D graphics app.

The mace- your supposed to be able to get. Its the one leaning on the tent by the assassins, right?

No, I didnt get rich by renting houses.
This is how....
This is how I got the gold....

Make sure you have HIGH guile level for maximum profit!
Go to snowspire.
Buy several beers from the tavern (like 50, just buy them all)
Make sure your alignment/scariness is FAVORABLE to other people, so that they will not run from you. If people are scared of you, this wont work as well.
Hotkey your beers, and the apologise emote- just in case.
If its night, just sleep (there is a house just up the hill from the weapon shop with a bed located close to the door. Sleep in the bed, then run outside before the screen goes black, and you wont get fined for tresspassing- if you do happen to get caught, just apologise to the guards.)
Now, everything should be set.
Go to the weapon shop, and tell the owner to follow you.
(Note: if he is scared of you, he wont follow.)
Lead him somewhere away from his shop. Tell him to wait. As soon as the follow icon over his head dissapears, give him 3 or 4 beers.
Then, run back to the weapon shop.
You will notice 5 augmentations on the counter. Steal them all. Before you steal them, position the camera so you can see the door and the window to the right of the door... this is because sometimes workers carrying wood bundles comes into the weapon shop. Just keep your eye on the window, and when you see someone approach, stop stealing so you wont be caught.
(If you get caught, wait til the guards find you, refuse to pay the fine, and apologise to them-your fine will go away)
When you steal all the augmentaions, go to sleep twice (so a full day will pass)
Go back to the weapon shop, and repeat the drunken process and steal the augmentations.
Do this about 10 times or whatever you feel comfortable.
Then, when you have about 7-10 of each augmentation, go talk the shop owner and look at the amount of augmentations in stock. Make sure its a FULL stock. If it isnt, then just sleep the amount of days until the next supply arrives.
(note, dont bother looking at the mana, health, and exp augs. These do NOT matter and wont be used in this money making method. Just look at the stock of the other augs.)
When the shop has full supply, sell all your augmentations.
Then, BUY ALL the augmentations you can. (DONT buy health, mana, and exp augs, they give you negative profit- loss)
Try to buy all of one kind before buy another kind.
Then, RESELL ALL the augmentations you just bought. Then rebuy, resell, rebuy, resell, and so on and so on.
This will earn you good, fast gold. I was making about 200000 gold per trade via this method.

Every once in a while, steal some more augmentations because the amount of money you gain slowly decreases.

You might want to toy around with this as you do it though, to try to get maximum profit.

Its vital you buy all of one kind of aug (except mana, hp, and exp) because when a shop has 0 of one thing in stock, the amount you sell it for is much higher.
It also works in reverse, the more a shop has in stock, the cheaper. Your guile level is important, too, because it lowers item prices when buying and raises them when selling.
The reason why you need to steal some in the beginning is because you need to raise the shop's stock, thus lowering the initial price.
I maxed out my gold in about an hour or 2 using this method.
Although, you dont have to max it out, you could just earn enough for whatever you need it for.

Enjoy!

Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

The mace is supposed to be there, and as for the summoner's weapons (Droded talked about this in one of his posts) the bandit crossbow is the same, it goes through the hero's chest, and he holds it sideways while shooting. I don't have screenshots though :( I did this on the original Fable (Xbox)
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

so, hath anyone gotten it on TLC?

reason i ask is cuz i havnt actually heard confirmations of it on TLC, but only on reg. fable.
Also, if it was a glitch in reg. fable, it prolly culda got fixed in tlc, cuz i know that glitches in reg. fable like the dig glitch, beserk save glitch, and i think even the time freeze glitch all dont work in TLC.

So, if anyones got TLC scimitar proof, please post it. I still havnt gotten around to try it- bros on the xbox
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

I will try it right now :D

No luck... I tried it a few times, I didn't get anything though
 
Re: Can't get scimitar- tips?

I was also told that if you kill thousands of bandits, the game will glitch so that one of the bandits'll drop the scimmy.
