> That's happened to me a lot. I didn't realize I evven had the string until a good deal later in the game than when I first got it. Also, I didn't realize I had teh fish in FQ until I had given it to the gnome. Observant, aren't I?

one other thing. I notice you don't list the crate. a word of advice----keep ahold of it, it comes in handy often !!!!
happy hunting !
