Unequip for the Win
Description: In the origins stories, be sure to remove all the items of those that accompany you (and leave your party) prior to their departure. You may need to save the gaem more often. You can use these items to sell or equip as needed.
Another example: once you return from the Kokori Wilds, before talking to Duncan, remove all the equipment from Jory and Daveth since they are destined to die.

Unlimited Enhancement Crystals for Shale
How to: In Redcliff, convince the innkeeper to join the fight. This will leave the barmaid in charge. Ask her for supplies and she will give you anything in the shop for free. Leave town and go to camp. Come back and get more supplies. Every time you return she will have a random assortment of the current and lower tier below crystals for Shale. They start to sell for 1 Gold Piece after you reach the "Cear" tier.
*** Leaving the town before defending it will result in a lot of dead villagers, possibly the barmaid as well.
Update: You do not need to leave the town for the crystals to reappear. You simply need to leave the inn and re-enter it.

Duplicate Items
How to: You can duplicate gear, ingredients, potions, and other stuff as long as you already have 2 copies of the item you want to duplicate. It is best to only have the items you want to duplicate in both your Junk inventory and the merchant's. Put at least 2 of the item you want to copy in the "Junk" section of your bag. Go to any merchant and press sell all the junk in your bag. Now, select the item from the merchant's side, and buy back all but one of the item. Next, select it when it is in your inventory again. Press Y followed by A very quickly. This requires precise timing and may require a few attempts, but it becomes easy to do after a few tries. You can keep repeating the process until you have 99 of the item. You can use this glitch with any of the Tomes as well to give your character all magic abilities max attributes by duplicating the Tomes.

Easy Ceremonialist and Sacrilegious Trophies / Achievements
How to: To collect both the the Sacred Ashes Trophies / Achievements (Ceremonialist and Sacrilegious) quickly without replaying the entire game, save your game before you ascend the stairs to the ashes. During the scene, collect a pinch of ashes and then put blood in the ashes. Allow yourself to be killed afterward and reload your save. This time, collect the ashes but do not put the blood in. Leave the temple and fight the disciples waiting for you to get the 2nd Trophy / Achievement.

Gold Exploit
How to: Exploit may be removed with future Xbox Live updates.
In the city Lothering the Quest "Traps are a girl's best friend" one can repeatedly do the quest, earning Gold and XP. It is boring but one earns a lot of gold and XP.

You should do this before connecting to Xbox live as a patch has fixed this problem and if you were caught stealing in Lothering the Quest giver will refuse to chat to you all together.

Level Up Glitch
Description: During the Tainted Blood mission in Ostargar, collect the 3 Vials of Darkspawn Blood but avoid collecting the Grey Warden Treaties. After you have the vials, chat to Duncan and choose the conversation option "We have the blood, but not the scrolls." The conversation will end and you will get experience! You can repeat the conversation and get the experience each time -- you can do this all the way up to the level cap at 25 (if you are patient)! You can click through the conversation fairly quickly once you have done it a few times.
*** An update / patch has fixed this. To use the glitch, you will need to avoid the update.
