*The Adventurers' Guild

Ohhhhhhhh! Well, I'll be... I have the iPad version, but I had no idea there was a desktop version. No idea on where to back up the characters, though, I'm afraid. Sorry.

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.

OK, cool, thanks.

And yeah, that def sounds like something went wrong - you certainly shouldn't have the segments! Glad it worked itself out though

How did you do it, then?

And what items got changed?

Hmmm - no idea, haven't tried it yet. Hoping it's do-able, though... :-/

Yeah, every version I've ever played has used relative co-ords.
