Cause Distractions While Committing Crimes
You'll need to pal around with some sidekicks who will do your dirty work for you. Have the sidekicks fight guards to cause a distraction, which will result in NPC's running away, giving you all the time you need to commit crimes such as stealing etc.

Run To The Demon Door And Back
The character does not run by default. You must press the B button to run. Before you talk to the character that starts the race, be sure you are facing in the direction you need to run. When the timer begins immediately start running and be sure to avoid everyone in your path. Run straight around to where the door is and line yourself up directly down the middle of the rock bridge. As soon as you touch the door (you don't have to select it) push the stick in the opposite direction and you should go straight back across. Then just avoid all people on the way back and as soon as you see the dialog balloon (aiming at the race guy) hit the button to end the challenge.

Easy Stealing
If your having trouble stealing from shops and don't want to wait to get the picklock or even after, just try this little tip. Step 1: Ask the shop keep to follow you, don't worry if your not renown enough or they just don't want to, just ask. Step 2: Give them a beer. Step 3: Ask to follow again, if they do lead them somewhere away from the shop. If they don't don't worry. Step 4: Give them 5 more beers. They'll be too drunk to follow you back, so go steal. If they didn't follow you, give the 5 beers anyway and they will stumble about their shop not paying much attention, so steal their good from under their nose, just be careful cuz they can still catch you.

Stealing Hint
Another sure way to steal in a shop is to. 1. Get the shopkeeper drunk with 2-3 beers. 2. Then push the shopkeeper out of the shop (this may take a while the first time but later it gets easier). 3. Then give the shopekeeper 1-2 more beers to make sure he doesnt come back for a while. 4. Steal till your hearts content! (Note. if you might have given the shopkeeper a little to many beers go to a house preferably one already owned in the area and sleep twice to make it the same time just another day and he wont be drunk anymore.)

Mid-day Looting
Ever get sick of having to break into shops at night to do your looting? This is a good way to loot durring day time. First your going to need to get the clerk drunk. 2 or 3 beers should do the trick. When the clerk is completely wasted you can move him around very easily by running into him. Push him outside or into another room. He will walk around aimlessly talking to himself. Meanwhile you can steal everything on display in his store. Beware of customers walking into the store.

Lightning Augmentation
When helping the traders through the Darkwood Marshes you will meet a trader that has been injured by a Balverine. If you help him you will receive "good" points but later on he will turn into a balverine and attack you. Also in Darkwood ther is a stone with a hole near the top on the right side of the map with a key in it; shoot it out to get the key. In one of the last stages of Darkwood you will have to fight a ground troll. Destroy it and on the left there will be a pathway that leads to 2 barrels and a chest containing a lightning augmentation

Unlimited Experience
This is a really easy way to get a lot of experience as many times as you want. You have to have the Arena quest card. Right before you enter The Arena in Witchwood Lake, save your WORLD. When you enter The Arena, the Arena quest will start. Continue as normal, and wait your turn to start fighting. When you start fighting, continue to fight all the enemies until after you have beaten the Rock Trolls. There will be a message asking if you want to move on to the next round. Select "no". It will take you back to the waiting area. After the guy stops talking to you, save your HERO (since you are still in the middle of a quest). Quit your game and load your world from when you saved it before you entered the Arena. You will not have started the quest yet, but you will have all the experience that you gained from the battles (about 28,000 general). You can go back to the Guild and level up or start the quest again. You can repeat this process as many times as you like. Enjoy!!!

Unlimited Items
Whenever you start any kind of mission, there is usually an item in it. Save your game before you start the mission. Then enter your mission, collect your item, save the game, and quit. Then, load the same game where you saved it before you started the mission. You will have the item you've gotten earlier. Then go back into the mission and you can get the item again. If you keep repeating this step you can have unlimited items.

Infinite Gold
To earn more money, you just need to buy houses and shops, then rent them. To buy a building you just have to kill its recent owner and when the sale sign appear, buy it and rent it. Is easier to kill the owners of the buildings at night when they sleeps. You can get rent money faster by sleeping in a owned marital house and repeat sleeping until the sun arises three times, then go out and collect the three money bags from each rented building. Trust me that in no time you will have enough money to buy an entire town. I already am the owner of entire Oakvale, entire Knothole Glade and part of Bowerstone.

Get A Dragon
To get a dragon go to Elm, the sailor in the North of Albion. Follow him to his boat, find a crew, and then sail to an Island. Once there, you will find a big volcano and a small village. Go speak to the mayor. He'll tell you, you must go to a cave in the volcano. Once inside, you will find a Y Splitsing. Smash the pillars and you will find 2 spheres. Then go in front of the Y Splitsing and you will find 3 circle sings, 2 small ones and 1 big one. Put the spheres on the small circles and the big one will open up. Then go down in the circle and you will be in another cave. Whatever you do DONT'T WAKE THE SLEEPING DRAGON!!! It is invincible and it will pack on the hurt. So instead of attacking kneel and pray for it. It will give you a sword and an egg. Go back to Greatwood and the egg will hatch, giving you a baby dragon!!! Love him, squeze him, and call him 'George'.

How To Really Beat Jack Of Blades
I had maxed out toughness and lighting to beat jack. During the first phase of the battle, Jack summons warriors. If you need to replenish your mana, and do not have will potions, wait to defeat the two magicians. Once you kill them Jack will stop the forcefield. Use your multi hit spell to strike Jack more than once in one swing. Repeat this until he returns to the center of the chamber. He will rise into the air. Then rocks will appear. He will attack you 3 times with a wave, easily dodgeable; then twice with the balls. Then he will shine a light on his sword that will take a lot of life away fast. So hide behind the rocks when he does it. You'll be safe. Then, use lighting until you can't. And when he summons more monsters, just run around the chamber until his spell, that takes life kills the beasts. Then use lighting again. Continue this until he dies. Then I kept the sword. But I made mistake. When the credits roll, you should let them go on, so you can save your data and continue to play. If you skip the credits, you have to fight jack all over again. this is how I beat jack.

Drunk Shop-Owner
This is an easy way to steal from shops. All you do is go to a tavern, buy at least 4 beers, then go to another shop, give the beer to the owner, and run into them. Make sure you push them out of the store (by running into them) before you start to steal. Also, make sure no guards or villagers are watching. Then you can hero save, and do it all over again!
