eaglesnake: Has anybody figured out how the Helmold is supposed to work?

eaglesnake: The Helmold is a quest item somebody wandered back with...its supposed to duplicate whatever you put in it once ...(except bound items) then it blows up or something. I have a legendary firearm I would like to duplicate but can't get it in the mold... the item or mold just disappears into inventory.

Hickory: Ah, the Helwax Mold. I have to admit that I've never had a companion come back with this item.

bengeddes: You don't place the item into the mold. You don't do anything with the item. You need to "activate" the mold and then use it on an item.

1. Place Helwax Mold in quick slot.
2. Exit out of the inventory screen.
3. Left click the Mold in your quick slot to "activate" it.
4. It will automatically open your inventory, and your cursor will become a pointer with "?"
5. Left click on the item you wish you to duplicate.
6. You will be prompted to confirm that you wish to duplicate the item, click Accept or Cancel.
7. If you click Accept another prompt will inform you of success and that the duplicated item has been placed in your stash.

So which step are you stuck on? Are you saying you did all that and no duplicate is created?
