Magic Duster Cleaning Cleaning can often be a tedious task, but with the help of magic duster cleaning, it can become an enchanting experience. This innovative cleaning technique combines the power of traditional cleaning methods with a touch of magic, making the process not only efficient but also enjoyable. Magic duster cleaning involves using a specially designed duster that is infused with magical properties. This duster is made from high-quality materials that attract dust and debris like a magnet. Additionally, it is enchanted with spells that enable it to trap and remove even the tiniest particles of dirt. To utilize this cleaning technique, simply wave the magic duster over surfaces that need cleaning, and watch as it effortlessly collects dust and dirt.
General
This strategy applies to all spells that aren t concentration and last until Long Rest, like Longstrider, Darkvision, Protection Against Poison, Aid etc. If you re using Steam, you can bypass the launcher by right-clicking the game name in your library, selecting Properties General and putting --skip-launcher without quotes in Launch Options.
To utilize this cleaning technique, simply wave the magic duster over surfaces that need cleaning, and watch as it effortlessly collects dust and dirt. The duster's enchantments also help prevent dust from resettling, ensuring a long-lasting clean. One of the great benefits of magic duster cleaning is that it is suitable for a wide range of surfaces.
Unofficial BG3 Tips and Tricks Megathread
After a week of cracking out on the full release, I've put together this spoiler-free list of tips that may be helpful to new players. There are a lot of things that aren't obvious or covered in tooltips. I'll try to keep the list updated if any good ones are added.
General
- Turn off the Karmic Dice setting under Options>Gameplay. It defaults to ‘On.’ In the vast majority of cases, leaving this on will have your party take much more damage.
- If you're using Steam, you can bypass the launcher by right-clicking the game name in your library, selecting Properties>General and putting "--skip-launcher" (without quotes) in Launch Options.
- You can change class (and even stats) of your companions. For example, if you are playing a barbarian, you can respec Karlach to be an 18 Int Wizard if you like keeping her around. Keep whichever companions you want to explore their story or romance. Don't worry about their class, just change it. (You don't have this ability right away, but pretty soon in Act 1 you encounter an NPC who lets you respec anyone.)
- Hold Left-Alt to highlight on-screen items. It doesn’t show everything, but otherwise it can be very easy to miss important things like a note on a shelf or a bag of coins under a desk.
- An * after the name of a corpse/container means you haven’t looted it yet. If an item’s nameplate is red, it means it is stealing to loot it. You can read books/notes by right clicking and it doesn't count as picking it up and stealing.
- Humans get the racial bonus of being able to use Light Armor and Shields. This is important because you'll pick up a human caster as a companion early in the game. Since staves are versatile and can be used in one hand, give him a shield and some light armor and he'll be quite hard to hit. This saves a spell slot for Mage Armor or lets you use it elsewhere.
- Unlike D&D, casters can swap out their prepared spells any time outside of combat! (Which seems to defeat the purpose of having prepared spells, but whatever.) So swap in a buff or situational spell if you need it, then switch back to your regular preparation list.
- On the right side of your hotbars, there are a very small + and -. You can use this to increase or decrease the number of hotbar rows displayed. Very easy to miss these.
- Spells like Disguise Self, Speak With Animals, etc are super useful and often quite fun. Don’t neglect these just because they’re not ‘powerful.’
- Mage Armor does stack with Unarmored Defense, such as that of a barbarian. (This may be a bug and may be patched out some day)
- Vendors give a discount based on how much they like the character you open their dialog with. So use a high Charisma character to start the chat, then toggle to other character inventories to sell. You still get the price of the initial character.
- Any of your characters can use a key in another character’s inventory. No need to select your key-master.
- Some traps can be disarmed by shooting them. Useful if you don't have a rogue in the party.
- Keep one shovel on one of your characters at all times. There are some things you’ll need to dig up.
- Water (such as from Create Water) can be used to wash away acid on a floor, poison, etc.
- Look for areas to Jump to. There are a ton of places where you can jump to a ledge or over a rock to reveal another path. These aren’t essential, but often lead to loot, neat story tidbits, or shortcuts.
- You can click-and-drag some items like crates to move them around. Throw them on top of each other and they will stack. This can reveal blocked paths, let you climb onto roofs, or just give height advantage to your ranged attackers.
- Placing crates can block sight lines too, if you're the sneaky type. (u/Demonpoet) Super useful to give you a spot you can hide in a crowded room.
- Some spells (rituals or spells cast from items) let you re-cast for free, but not from the same button used to cast normally. Look for a new hotbar section all the way to the right. For example, there is an item early on that lets the user Speak With Dead. To use it on a new target, you have to use the designated re-cast button all the way to the right.
- Use Shift-Space to switch to turn-based time if an NPC is moving away but you still want to talk to them. This gives you time to Dash over to them to interact with them. Or backstab them. Or pickpocket them. I don’t judge. You can also use this when you hear the dreaded dice rolls for failed Perception checks so you don’t walk into traps. Note that there is a cooldown on switching to turn-based, so you can't just toggle it repeatedly.
- Mutli-classed wizards can learn spells from scrolls up to their total spellcasting level NOT wizard level. So a Cleric 4 / Wizard 1 can learn fireball and cast it with Int. (u/theblackthorne) This is not how it works in D&D, and can be pretty potent for some multi-class combos.
- The Disguise self spell lets you turn into a gnome to fit into small spaces. (u/amiliar-Football340)
- Save all your ingredients, but ESPECIALLY hyena ears. They are used to make potions of speed which is one of the best in the game. (u/XiaomiKH)
- You can Summon Scratch the Dog as a follower. ('Find Familiar: Scratch' spell will be in your book, under Common) He helps find treasure, but is pretty low health. However, he doesn't actually die if he falls in combat. (u/BaronBlackwood)
- Taking the Actor feat gives you Double Proficiency in Deception and Performance WITHOUT needing proficiency to begin with. So, if you plan on taking that feat, don't bother being proficient in those two skills. (u/BaronBlackwood)
- You can have a Wizard learn the Summon Quasit spell in the Apothecary basement to have it permanently. (u/BaronBlackwood)
- Disguise spell before speak with dead on enemies. They wont know it was you that killed them. (u/u/Ok-Host-4480)
- Pressing tab will bring up the entire party inventory as well. I kept going to my main inventory then expanding it when it’s just 1 button press to show all party inventory. May be a minor tip but it wasn’t obvious to me initially. (u/3nd0fDayz)
- Activating some things like levers can be done with arrows, firebolts, etc. This is helpful since mage hand (unfortunately) can't interact with things that can't be reached on foot. Also helpful for situations where someone would need to stay behind to trigger something. (u/Anemeros)
- Under the ranged weapon in left bottom there is a button to switch to light source. Just have a candle/torch and the character will switch to it. Can be useful, especially in second act. (u/Mercurionio) Go ahead and play a race without darkvision! :)
- If you lose your familiar (or companions) in an area where they can't follow or get bugged/stuck, walk a bit away from them and then go to camp. Even without doing a rest, you can immediately leave camp and they will be teleported to your side, with their pathfinding AI reset. (u/Alittum)
Inventory Management
- You can click on an armor slot and it will show you all the possible items that can go in this slot… from the inventory of ANY of your characters. It’ll even show if someone else has it equipped! It's amazing! (u/olGlassCleaner)
- Shift-Click and Ctrl-Click work to multi-select on some (not all) inventory screens. Use this to tag multiple items as junk.
- You can drag items from an inventory onto a character portrait to have it go to that character. This works when looting chests/corpses and can really help keep things sorted.
- If your inventory is filling up with vendor trash because vendors don’t have enough money to buy it all, try doing a few long rests and go back in a few days. Their inventories and cash-on-hand eventually refresh.
- If your inventory is getting messy, use backpacks to organize it. You can throw all books/quest related items into one bag, arrows into another, etc. You can’t sell items from inside bags, so don’t use them for stuff you intend to sell.
- Gems can safely be vendored, as there are no expensive spell or crafting components implemented. (Note: There are a few quest-related gems, these are usually tagged with the orange border and can’t be sold anyways. But just be wary.)
- You can send items straight to camp from your inventory. And since you only need camping supplies at camp, you can save a TON of carry weight by sending all camp supplies directly to camp. (u/theblackthorne)
- Have a strong character carry 1-3 crates in their inventory. You can place these down and climb on top of them to solve puzzles, block gas vents, get into new areas, gain height advantage on ranged attacks etc. (u/theblackthorne)
- You can store corpses in the traveller’s chest, so your necromancer will always have them handy. (u/acrazyguy)
Combat
- Wielding a weapon you are proficient with unlocks new attacks that recharge on a short rest (usually). For example: Light crossbows add Piercing Shot which causes a target to take extra damage. Glaives give three abilities, including one that lets you roll damage twice and take the higher result. All weapon types have very potent abilities! Use them!
- Summons (like Familiars and Spiritual Weapon) are MUCH more helpful in combat than in D&D. Here they soak hits! In a big fight, throw Spiritual Weapon in the midst of your enemies. Most of them will attack it, wasting their turn. This is a much more consistent crowd control than intended cc spells, which often take concentration and don’t work on more powerful foes.
- Push is a Bonus Action available to all characters! Even if your caster/ranged weapon user isn’t strong enough for it to work consistently, it doesn’t hurt to try if you aren't using that BA anyways. If you succeed, you’re no longer at disadvantage for being in melee or can move without provoking!
- Use push/pull effects to knock enemies off ledges or destroy bridges under them. It can do a ton of damage or at least knock them out of position. Thunderwave is great for doing this to multiple enemies. (Note: Don’t knock bosses into the abyss, make sure they land somewhere you’ll be able to loot them.)
- You can block enemy paths by stacking things like crates. Prepare for a battle by blocking off chokepoints or making it hard for enemies to get to your squishies.
- The way initiative and combat rounds work with non-grouped characters is unintuitive. For example, ungroup your rogue from the party, then have the party walk up and initiate combat. Your rogue will not roll for initiative. Click on your rogue’s portrait. Everyone else will be frozen in time, but you’ll be able to run around willy-nilly. Sneak behind the frozen enemy and backstab it to join the combat order. There are all kinds of unintuitive shenanigans you can do with this.
- Using Jump in combat can be a great use of your Bonus Action. It can give you a shorter path, bypass obstacles, give you height advantage, etc.
- High ground gives your ranged attacks (and spells) a +2 to hit. Similarly, low ground gives you a -2. Get the high ground for an ambush.
- Dual-wielding hand-crossbows (once they are available) lets you do a ranged attack as a Bonus Action that would otherwise go wasted. (Also, currently there is no ranged off-hand penalty, so it’ll do full damage. This may be a bug.) There is no reason not to do this on any character that doesn’t regularly use their bonus action.
- Use the environment during combat. Break an oil barrel next to enemies then hit it with fire, or use lightning on an enemy in water. This can make some challenging combats much easier.
- If you forgot to give a character healing potions before a battle, you can just hit tab and right click on the item to use it from anyone's inventory. (u/Flincher14)
- Use the Dip action to coat your weapon in poison or something else nasty.
- You can place a candle on the ground, light it, and dip your weapon in the fire. Free fire weapons! (u/Chuck-Bangus)
- If you have a lot of spare carry weight, stock up on as many explosive barrels as you can. Don't waste them on cracked walls since most of those can be broken down by bludgeoning weapons. You can use them in combination with Firewine/Oil barrels to set up crazy battleground advantage ahead of time, or just use Karlach to throw them at groups of enemies mid-fight. (u/itsanemuuu)
- Instead of just throwing a potion at a target, drop it on the ground and then attack it. This has the effect hit a larger area, damaging more foes or buffing more allies with a single potion. (u/theblackthorne)
- Haste is even more powerful in BG3 than it is in 5e (where it is already very potent). Apply a potion to your party (via the above tip) to make tough fights much easier. (u/theblackthorne)
- The beastmaster Giant Spider can spam webs, which allows you to create flaming or restraining surfaces wherever you need. (u/theblackthorne)
- Mage hand can throw javelins, rocks, potions, etc that are on the ground. (u/amiliar-Football340)
- Warding Bond is a Cleric Spell that gives a target resistance to everything and +1 to AC and Saves. The "downside" is that the caster takes the same damage the target receives. You can have a Hireling cast the spell then remain in camp. This strategy applies to all spells that aren't concentration and last until Long Rest, like Longstrider, Darkvision, Protection Against Poison, Aid etc. No need to have your party waste spells or slots on those spells. (u/BaronBlackwood)
- Before ending your turn after a ranged weapon attack, switch back to your melee weapon so that you can still opportunity attack if an enemy runs past.(u/Plantar-Aspect-Sage)
- Don’t forget to turn on the paladin auras. These turn themselves off when going unconscious. Took me ages to figure out why saves felt weak. (u/littlepwny)
- Before a big battle, activate turn based mode and then start chugging your potions and casting spells to buff yourselves, this prevents these bonuses from ending too soon in realtime. (u/Miracle_Salad)
- It was a game changer when I found out I could inspect mobs by hovering over them with my cursor and hitting ‘T’ on the keyboard. Saves me a few extra clicks to inspect mobs for their stats and buffs/de-buffs. (u/spinningbeans)

Reviews for "The Enchantment of Desert Cleaning: Cleaning Tips and Tricks"
1. Laura - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Magic Duster Cleaning". The product claims to clean any surface with just one swipe, but I found it to be ineffective. I followed the instructions carefully, but it did very little to remove the dust from my furniture. I ended up having to go over the surfaces multiple times, and even then, it didn't fully remove the dust. I believe there are much better cleaning products out there that actually deliver on their promises.
2. Mark - 1/5 - This product was a complete waste of money. I bought "Magic Duster Cleaning" hoping it would simplify my cleaning routine, but it did the exact opposite. Not only did it fail to pick up dust effectively, but it also left behind streaks on my glass surfaces. The duster itself felt flimsy and didn't hold up well after just a couple of uses. Overall, I regret purchasing this product and would not recommend it to others.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - I had high expectations for "Magic Duster Cleaning", but it fell short. The duster itself appeared to be of good quality, but it didn't attract dust as well as advertised. I had to repeatedly go over the same areas to achieve satisfactory results. Additionally, the handle was uncomfortable to hold for an extended period of time. I don't think this product lives up to its claims, and I would prefer to stick with my old cleaning methods.
4. Michael - 1/5 - Magic Duster Cleaning? More like Magic Disappointment! I had heard great things about this product, but it did absolutely nothing for me. The dust just seemed to stick to the surface instead of being picked up by the duster. I tried using it on various surfaces, but it didn't make any difference. It was a complete waste of money and I will definitely be looking for a better cleaning solution. Don't waste your time with this one.
