The Bronze to Chocolate Scam is a scam that tricks new players, however, might not get work anymore because of the new Trade Screen. The scammer swaps the bronze item for a piece of chocolate, and the victim is tricked. This goes against the 'Scamming' rule under Honour (formerly Rule 2). This scam is rare now, as chocolate is worth more than bronze nowadays (or at least chocolate dust from using a knife on it.)

- Victim offers a trade to the scammer.
- The scammer inserts a bronze scimitar, and the victim inserts 70gp.
- The scammer replaces the bronze scimitar with a chocolate. An exclamation mark appears where the item was swapped.
