I was blinded, and while blind proceeded to flail around and blindly kill a swarm of enemies nearby. Then while stumbling around blind I got the message "you feel copper under your feet" or something. Wanting to pick up the money, I pressed g and it said "You have copper (b)".
For some reason it put the money in my inventory instead of in my AU!
So I've been playing for the last few hours with this wasted inventory slot. I can't drop it, sell it, destroy it. Enemies that steal or destroy inventory don't steal or destroy the copper. For all intents and purposes it shouldn't be there, the game doesn't know what to do with it, and there's no way to interact with it. It's just taking up space. Frankly I'm surprised it's not causing crashes.
Does anybody know how I can edit my character file to delete the copper from my inventory? And would doing so make me a "cheater"? For a "real win" should I just bear with the bug and keep trekking?
