Savvy gamers are already aware that gold obtained in Fable II Pub Games for the Xbox Live Arcade can be transferred to their characters in Fable II -- which releases today. While we've told you how it's done we thought we'd create a quick tutorial video and show you the quick and painless process. Also, make sure to check out Fable2.com (part of Xbox.com) and to win gold and items for your characters within Fable II. This video also walks you through the steps of obtaining those bonuses as well. We're all about helping a gamer out here at X3F.

Has any one had problems with not getting the DLC token with the purchase of the LE? apparently some have, joystiq has an article. Just curious if that has been a problem, and if so, where did you get the game? They said they had only been informed of it happening at GS.

What about the "exploit" that was in the XBLA Pub Games.. did this have any repercussions if you used it and then transfer the money?
Anyone?
Also, I just picked up my LE but had to go to work. Was I supposed to get a token from the place I purchased it or is it in the game??
dbellinger @ Oct 21st 2008 10:21AM
The token is supposed to be in box. It (from what I have read) is just a 48hr live token. The ones, from GameStop, that have the token have a sticker stating so on the box, those without do not.
dbellinger @ Oct 21st 2008 10:25AM
Sorry, just re-read the story. It appears that there is supposed to be an actual DLC token BOX and some are not. The 48hr sticker is a GameStop only thing apparently.

As far as the Fable2.com items; can you get all items or is it (one of the crowns or 1000 gold)? I've done the gold but went and got the chicken costume later on. Can I go back and get the other items too? I know, I asked the question twice two different ways, just want to make sure it is understood.

Like I say in the video. Some people claim it's possible but we haven't been able to replicate it.

Is anyone else having issues with Hero's Tale? I put in my age, hit enter, and then....nothing. It just sits there. I've tried it on both explorer and firefox, and on my laptop, as well as my work computer...
RandomZero @ Oct 21st 2008 11:16AM
Nevermind, it finally started working. Dunno why, don't care, long as it does.
Dracula Jones @ Oct 21st 2008 1:32PM
Yep, same here. "Go Forth" button does nothing in IE or Firefox.
Xav de Matos @ Oct 21st 2008 3:45PM
Make sure you're entering your birthday correctly. They use the European method so it is listed as Day | Month | Year.
I had that problem at first too.
vanhelsingh @ Oct 21st 2008 11:35AM
it doesnt load up for me, hero's tale that is.
SimplyWind @ Oct 21st 2008 12:13PM
does anyone know how to get your items that you have gotten from pub games to your hero in Fable 2
x silence x @ Oct 21st 2008 12:28PM
Any word if the gold exploit actually has repercussions?
SoxFan13 @ Oct 21st 2008 12:59PM
I read on gaf that the reprecussions are an increase in your "corruption" rating. This, of course, was just some guy on a forum, so take it with a grain of salt...
x silence x @ Oct 21st 2008 1:22PM
That't pretty much what I figured would happen. Why the hell didn't I check NeoGAF myself? Thanks!
JOsh @ Oct 22nd 2008 1:35AM
anyone know if the items they earned in pub games...not the gold transfered over...cuz i merge my hero just fine with all my gold, but no cutlass, pistol or other items I unlocked
Mummah @ Oct 21st 2008 11:52PM
I merged my fable 2 pub games gold from pub games to my hero and recieved all my gold but i have not found any of the special items that i won in the pub games does anyone know where they are? also i have the LE of Fable 2 and i have the energy sword and master chief armor but i do not know were the special dungon is and i do not know were the special item is.. does anyone have any idea..?
TehCouch @ Oct 22nd 2008 8:13AM
I am having the same exact problem. I merged my characters in pub games....not if Fable 2....maybe this caused my problem.
Mike H. @ Oct 22nd 2008 8:17AM
I merged from within Pub Games, and not in Fable 2, like you did. What you do to get the items is once back in Fable 2, go to a Game Master and enter a game, and just back out. Although, I asked him if I could merge, even though I already had, just to be sure.

Hmm... I'm getting an error message when I try to sync this episode with my iPod Touch:
""X3F -- Fable II Pub Games gold and Xbox.com item merge tutorial" was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."
All the other X3F videos work. Has anything changed regarding the way this video was created?
TehCouch @ Oct 22nd 2008 8:16AM
Your items merge when you merge a character in Fable 2....don't do it in pub games. If you did it in pub games and need your items....
1.make a new character in pub games
2.Go back to Fable 2 to a game master
3.Merge with the new pub games character
4. Congrats you now have your items.
Korky Johnson @ Oct 22nd 2008 5:15PM
Just tried this out and it works. Thanks very much!

I did the three crowns and the chicken kick online and got everything your supposed to in the Hero's Hall chest. If anyone is still wondering if the gold glitch in Pub Games causes your character to change or do some unholy evil to destroy your character upon merging, nothing happens. I got all the gold and all my gear once I went into a pub and sat down with a game master. I had the option of merging characters and did so and got it all right there and then with no changes to my hero. I went around and bought up all the properties and rented them out and am making a fortune every five min. You can make loads of cash doing this rental method, go back to the game master and merge your cash into a character in Pub Games and hold it there like a bank for when you want to start a new game as another hero. When you start the new hero, just go to any game master and merge again and start with loads of cash for whatever you want. I think of Pub Games as a savings and loan bank.
