Fire Horn Question

jpslaughter · Post by **jpslaughter** » Mon Feb 11, 2013 6:56 pm

My Bard has been using his Fire Horn and out of nowhere it disappears.

Does anyone know why or how to prevent this from happening. Its a pretty powerful weapon and I don't want to lose it right now.

Thanks!

Limited use items have a chance of disappearing with every use. In BT2 and BT3 you can see how many charges they have left, but in BT1 I believe it's just a percentage chance - so sometimes a Fire Horn will last for ages, and sometimes you're just unlucky and it disappears after a couple of uses. Ideally you want to have your bard carrying a couple of them for exactly this reason (or, failing that, a backup of the bard who came with *ATEAM who you can swap in long enough to steal his Fire Horn. Again.)

For BT1 on the CBM64 the chance for degradable items is 1/64 per use. It can last forever or vanish on first use, depending on your luck for that 1 in 64 chance.

I'm playing on the iPad. I saw a post that said if you sell the item to Garth's Store and buy it back it will be recharged. Do you know if this is true?

I dunno for the iPad version, if BT1 and you don't see any charges, there are no charges
Only the 1 in 64 chance

ZeroZero, just for reference, the iPad version is basically the PC version as far as I can see.

I lost my Flame Horn to grinding because of this when I would have preferred to save it for Mangar.

Note to self (and you): If you pick up a Flame Horn (way better than a Fire Horn), save it for the Tower!
