This may no longer work if your Xbox 360 was patched on Xbox Live (see below for additional information).

To multiply items you must have two different types of arrows to make the glitch work.

You attack with the arrow, and when your character is preparing the bow but it is not yet drawn back, press RED to bring up the menu.

Go to weapons and equip another type of arrows by pressing GREEN twice. Nothing should happen the first time except that the new arrows should become selected and after pressing GREEN the second time, there should be a message that says "this weapon can no be equipped while attacking".

Then without closing the menu, drop the item you want to duplicate and it should fall to the ground and multiply randomly. Multiply magic or expensive items to gain fast money.

This is not completely true. This exploit multiplies the item cloned by the number of arrows you have. Your second choice of arrow when the game tells you "this weapon can no be equipped while attacking" will determine the number of items spawned. For example, if you have 500 arrows stocked for your second arrow choice, you will get 500 items. A high number multipling may cause the Xbox 360 to freeze. (IGN tried with 100 and the 360 stuttered). Lastly, you can also clone the Sigil Stones you get from the Oblivion Planes, but not certain items (like swords and armor).

You can clone swords and armor or just about any item in the game. All you have to do is sell it to an NPC and buy it back then you can clone the item. Another thing is you don't need two kinds of arrows. If you unequip your weapon and atack (bare handed) then select the arrows that are already equiped (twice) then drop the item, it will still work.

You can also multiply more than one item at once. After you drop the first item go back and select the arrows again (twice) then drop the second item. (great for alchemy increases) Hope this helps. You can also multiply arrows by dropping one stack and equipping another. Example: you have 100 iron arrows you drop 90 of them. Equip the 10 you have in your inventory, then pick up the other 90. When you pick up the 90 they will be the equipped arrows, but you will have a stack of 10 also. Perform the multiplying glitch and drop the 10 arrows (if all of them don't drop, don't worry). Exit out of the menu and you have more iron arrow o n the ground. To keep the game from glitching with more than a 100 arrows, drop stacks of items. The items you pick up will be in the amounts of the stack you dropped them from.

Although hitting the ground with your fist also works for duplicating items, there is another method that you should try. This method is very effective and you don't have to worry about hurting a bystander. Make sure that you have your magic on something that won't hurt anyone or basically not on destruction mode. Any magic will do. Healing, dispel, feather, etc.... Press your R1 for magic and before the action is done, press the B button. Then select the amount of arrows you want (any amount will do, but make sure that you don't chose anything more than 200 arrows because the game sometimes freezes depends on what item you are trying to duplicate) then select the item you want to duplicate.

Duplication process:
1. Magic- press R1
2. Press B button
3. Choose arrows
4. Select the item.
5. Duplication complete

Post-patch Cloning

This is for the people who have already downloaded the update patches:

Equip any number of arrows, a number divisible by ten is advised, a high number will create same number of duplicated items.

With no weapon equipped, look at the floor and punch it.

Quickly, before the punch has been completed, press the B button to access the inventory screen.

Select the arrows which are equipped and press A to attempt to unequip them. You will receive a message saying that you cannot unequip this because you are attacking.

Select the item you wish to duplicate and press X to drop and duplicate the item.

Press B again to get out of the inventory screen. Pick up your loot.

You can check this glitch with any item, although you can it with any Vampire Dust you collect. If you are part of the Order of the Virtous Blood, you can duplicate vampire Dust and get 250 Gold for each instance of dust. It's not the best fastest way to make cash, but it's a simple way to playtest this glitch.
