nostalgia quest help

[GAregaregaregargr]

sorry if this is gonna be confusing im new here

but basically i found a way to get the weapon reflection item from the quest without playing 8 years on aqw and i loaded the shop successfully as well but when i try to buy dual nsod it says item locked special requirement not met i posted a ss below

so i tried this on one of my friends account who does have the 8 year thing unlocked, went to the map, removed the 8th birthday candle from my inventory (put it in my bank) and got myself sent to that black screen with zorbak, loaded the shop and i was able to buy a dual weapon

im assuming the "special requirement" is having the 8th golden candle in your inventory but that doesnt explain how i managed to buy dual item when i moved the 8th candle to my bank (before buying the dual swords)

im well aware this can ban you but its a risk im willing to take, this game is shit when it comes to banning people anyways
so again my bad if this was confusing but if anyone knows how to get around this "requirement" i'd greatly appreciate it and if theres no way, well thats fine too but its worth a shot

I've tried it too and i think it needs 8 years badge open

The 8th birthday candle is only required to enter the map, the 8 year badge is the "special requirement" to buy items on nostalgiaquest.
