DotA 6.80c Changelogs [Patch Notes]
Fixed a gold exploit that was possible with Wards
Guide to DotA 6.80b Gold Exploit:
Pick any hero and completely fill its inventory with Ironwood branches
Buy a courier and buy a set of Wards (doesn't matter Sentry or Observer)
Buy an Energy Booster and put both wards and booster in Courier's inventory
Move courier back to the Fountain so it acquires mana to use Wards. That's why we boughtEnergy booster.
Select courier, click Sentry ward and target your hero standing with full inventory.
Since, your hero has full inventory the wards will drop as a Yellow-book on the ground.
Each time you use a single ward from Courier, you get Double (2x) wards in return
Pick-up the dropped Wards (yellow-books) again using the courier and repeat the steps.
And then sell the Wards for gold until you have gold to buy a 6x inventory.
