I got Zhang Lu with the glitch, but went and got the Jiu, then came back to Xin Ye. All I got was another lousy Ma Su :(
At least my party is Lu Bu x4 + Zhang Lu now :P
lordyuanshu, I hope you don’t mind me asking, but if you have some sort of messenger service, we could talk and sort this whole officer-thing out together. PM me if interested :P
EDIT: WHOO! I got Xiahou Dun after getting the letter for Meng Da. :D

Huo Hu's Adventure started Destiny of an Emperor hackingMay 13, 2006 at 11:06 pm #19728Lord Yuan ShuKeymasterOkay, this is what I’ve compiled so far. Basically this is the information Zhang Lu and I found the last few days going through the game by using the Zheng Letter on the various thrones. Again, this is still an inexact science so if you see something wrong or that was different for you let me know.
Destiny of an Emperor II Zheng Letter Trick

Huo Hu's Adventure started Destiny of an Emperor hackingMay 13, 2006 at 11:28 pm #19729Zhang LuParticipantI have tried getting Sima Yi and/or Cao Cao. No luck. All we’ve gotten really are a village full of Yang Huai’s. :P

Which is correct? I can see that the item cannot be placed in storage, so I wouldn?t want to fill up two characters worth with it if I?m never going to be able to get rid of all the entries?
On the other hand, if they vanish after use, then mass duplication here I come!
(Yes, I?ve started playing Destiny of an Emperor II).
May 15, 2006 at 5:58 am #19731Lord Yuan ShuKeymasterIt’s weird. I’m still not sure on how this works. I’ve used the Zheng Letter and sometimes it disappeared and sometimes it didn’t. Maybe it had something to do with which Zheng Letter I used (ie maybe there is a master copy and that one isn’t lost when passed).
Just another part of this trick that confuses me but I’ve definitely seen it leave my inventory and I’ve also been able to copy the Zheng Letter later in the game so I don’t know how to explain it really.

Huo Hu's Adventure started Destiny of an Emperor hackingMay 15, 2006 at 6:18 am #19732Xian Zhu XuandeParticipantJust to be safe, I saved a backup copy of my game and duplicated the damn thing until I had 11 of them (it gets pretty tricky on the second character, but this is where I noticed that there may, indeed, be a master copy). If I pass all but one of them from Chen Deng (the character that got my original), they are removed. However, the one that stayed at the top (the original Zheng letter) never vanished when I duplicated it.
If you cannot lose the original, but can lose any other one, I should know soon enough. :)
May 15, 2006 at 6:48 am #19733Xian Zhu XuandeParticipantHave you folks had good luck duplicating items after you perform the Zheng Letter trick? I am wondering now if you can only have one ‘glitched’ item slot at any given time. The Zheng Letter at the top of my Chen Deng’s inventory is currently glitched (it duplicates itself), but the item duplication trick itself does not seem to work any more for my characters. I’m curious if anyone else has suffered any inconsistencies in this regard?

Never mind. Some muckery resolved this issue.

So things are looking pretty interesting. At least at this point in my game, the Zheng Letter that Chen Deng carries around duplicates itself when passed to other characters. It seems to be forever glitched. Any other Zheng letter passed vanishes from its previous inventory. Furthermore, the other Zheng Letter, given to Yuan Shao, vanished. I?m restarting from my saved game by Zheng Xuan to get only two Zheng Letters, and I?m going to experiment further.
May 15, 2006 at 7:00 am #19734Lord Yuan ShuKeymasterYour results sound about right from what I remember. Only one master Zheng Letter, like you say. Also, I’ve never had any problems with the item duplication trick after the Zheng Letter fiasco. The only problems I have with the Zheng Letter are when I use it and it locks the next plot event resulting in a restart unless I prepared myself with saved states.

Huo Hu's Adventure started Destiny of an Emperor hackingMay 15, 2006 at 7:03 am #19735Xian Zhu XuandeParticipantTheory tested out okay! The ?master copy? of my Zheng letter does not vanish, even when accepted by Yuan Shao himself. It stands to reason that this glitch should continue on into the game, effectively providing me with an infinite letter?one from which I can make as many duplicates as I wish. However, an interesting question also has to be asked. What happens when Chen Deng leaves my party? What happens when I decide it is time for him to go? Will I be able to toss him into the reserve, grab someone else out, and transfer my ?master copy? to them instead? Will it refuse to let him into the reserve because he has a Zheng letter? Will the ?master copy? de-glitch into a regular letter? We shall see?
I can?t see how giving the letter to Liu Bei would improve the situation much, as he too eventually leaves.

Where have you encountered this? Knowing in advance will, no doubt, save me pains. :)
May 15, 2006 at 7:15 am #19736Lord Yuan ShuKeymasterPlenty of places, most often Shu. I’d just save right before you use the Zheng Letter in each new city and if you can’t advance you can revert back.
And you should be able to dump Chen Deng and the next person you bring in will have his equipment. It’ll probably still read that Zheng Letter as the master one.

Huo Hu's Adventure started Destiny of an Emperor hackingMay 15, 2006 at 7:25 am #19737Xian Zhu XuandeParticipantExcellent then. These messes should be documented for the sake of Zheng tomfoolers everywhere. I?ve been writing a walkthrough (yes, yet another walkthrough) for Destiny of an Emperor II in the style of my older Destiny of an Emperor I guide (which I have also been updating as I?ve been going along). My progress won?t be too quick, but I?ll be looking into stuff like this along the way. Maybe I?ll help everyone here find out a bunch of fun new information.
May 15, 2006 at 3:12 pm #19738Perhong_AngtongParticipantI’ve noticed something when you change your characters in billeting. Somehow, when you change one character for another, he will get the items and equipment of the person you just left behind (I’ve got a Guan Yu with an Axe at one time).
As for the zhang letter, if you store the "master copy" at the item depot, does it still stays in your inventory? Please confirm.
EDIT: Liu Bei just left my party, I now have a Zhou Cang with a sword!

May 18, 2006 at 5:14 am #19739Xian Zhu XuandeParticipantChen Deng left my party in Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang inherited his gear, along with the ?master copy? Zheng Letter. The ?master copy? Zheng Letter is still immortal. I suspect if you give it to Liu Bei, it stays with Liu Bei until he is replaced, and is probably transferred to the next person to join your party. Looks like the ol? Zheng Letter is safe.
