If you've heard of the exploit that lets you have a bound item permenantly, i recommend not using them if they have the Increase ability effect. i used the cheat to keep the bound longsword with longblade +10, there is a bug that if you unequip and reequip, the skill increase may not go away like it should. so now my longblade skill is like 600 which is pretty overpowered as you can imagine. and my Marksman skill is up at like 200+ from my bound longbow. well, i started over. got a new character, and i'm determined not to cheat this time
