Dota 2 Tome glitch lets players hit level 30 at 11 minutes

Level 30 is usually a rare sight in Dota 2, but a new Tome of Knowledge glitch can put anyone at max level right after the laning stage is complete.

Dota 2 players have discovered a new glitch that duplicates the Tome of Knowledge in the shop. The glitch allows all five heroes to consume infinite Tomes and get to level 30 at the start of the game. There’s no telling when Valve will address this glitch, but its game-breaking consequences warrant an immediate fix.

Tome of Knowledge is a consumable item in Dota 2 that grants a large amount of experience to a single hero. Each team gets one Tome of Knowledge available in the shop every 10 minutes. It’s usually used to get supports to level six or to boost a struggling core hero, but in this case, it allows you to just outright win the game. It’s nearly impossible to contest level 30 heroes less than 20 minutes into a match. 

How to activate Tome of Knowledge duplication glitch

To replicate the infinite Tomes glitch for yourself, purchase the Tome as soon as it is available and then sell it back to the shop. If you’ve activated the Tome duplication glitch correctly, it should increase the number of Tomes in the shop to three. You can then purchase two of the duped Tomes and sell them back to start the process all over again. 

This Dota 2 item dupe glitch also seems to affect other timed consumables as well. Players can get infinite Observers, Sentry Wards, and Smokes of Deceit. This bug is just the latest in a series of game-breaking glitches players have discovered since the release of 7.30.

BLAST SLAM VIII Finals predictions and preview Michael Hassall It’s been a long road, but after a strangely-formatted group stage, and a decidedly anticlimactic playoffs, we’re down to the final three teams in BLAST SLAM VIII. The finals are today (Oct. 11) and we’ll see the premier teams in Dota 2 clash.

Dota 2’s new Tidehunter Arcana is mind-blowing, but prepare to spend $200+ to get it Michael Hassall Night owls in North America and early risers in Europe woke up to a brand new Dota 2 Arcana, the first new release of Dota’s rarest and most-coveted cosmetics since 2024. The recipient? Tidehunter, whose Maw of the Megladon Arcana transforms the already selachian sea-dweller into a full-blown shark. But while Arcana’s have traditionally been part of big events in Dota 2, either the now-discontinued Battle Passes, or most recently, ...

However, a swap in offlaners wasn’t the end, as veteran mid-laner MidOne has been registered under the team ahead of BLAST Slam 8, taking Nisha’s spot. Is MidOne only acting as a stand-in, or is this going to be a permanent move? Here’s what we know. On September 25, ...
