    So a friend introduced me to Arcanum and I'm having a blast wandering my way through the game (up to this point, I've successfully avoided any sort of FAQ).

    Here's my problem: I cleared the sewers in Tarant and then went around picking all sorts of locks prior to doing Cassandra Pettibone's elf gravestone quest. The catch here is I just learned about the Thieves Underground but I long ago dumped what I thought was a useless sewers map somewhere. And "somewhere" is all I can remember about where it was dumped, because I've spent a loooooong time searching garbage cans where I may have been likely to put it with no luck at all.

    Is there any way for me to somehow regenerate this item, or even for me to find some sort of editor somewhere that will allow me to recreate it on my character? I've done a quick Google search and searched some FAQs and these forums but I'm slowly getting the feeling that I'm SOL. I suppose I can and will use a FAQ to make sure I don't miss any items as a result of not getting the quests, but I seem to be an experience whore and the idea of not completing these quests does not sit well with me.

    Can anyone help me out?

    Not possible. I'd say pick this thread of side-quests up on your next play through. On a related note, welcome to the forums.

    Just like real life, if you throw away something important you cannot go find it again later once you realize it's importance.

    Just like in real life, it really sucks once you realize your error.

    However, unlike in real life, you can do as DF suggested and try going that route on your next playthrough.

    If I ever met Zanza in real life, I'd probably punch him in the face.

    Gathering the largest possible number of people willing to punch him in the face is probably one of Zanza's life goals. My guess is it's part of some kind of a worldwide underground troll tournament. May the worst one win.

    I was all day at work (with no computers around.), so it wasn’t me.

    Man, you really are the king. You know that, right?

    Arthgon is like the anthropomorphic personality of trolling. On December 30th 2007, the collective douchebaggery of the Internet finally reached a critical mass, a disastrous event that threatened to multiply the speed of light by several orders of magnitude, which would have resulted in all the stars exploding and the subsequent end of the entire universe. The universe, being the resilient being that it is, quickly devised a plan to prolong its own existence and let Arthgon materialize as the king, nay, fucking GOD of inanity and trolling.

    I know. Now I only need someone who will (would) take it over from me, when I resign from godhood.

    The Lord of Trolling shall perish. But in his doom he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny. Chaos will be sown from their passage. So sayeth the wise Alaundo.

    In other words Arthgon, procreate! Get yourself a score of Fryslan frommes and get going!

    As I said, a worldwide underground tournament. Right here, in our very forum!

    DE: Alright, I will get some Fryske frommes, and procreate several times. (Fryslan is the name of my province.)

    Frisky fryske frommes?

    I'm probably mispronouncing fryske in my head but it works :)

    You need multiple women. I would suggest that you find yourself five frisky fryske frommes.

    I submit that it is also necessary that they be functional, so you'd need to get five func-.....to hell with it.

    I am in the process of figuring out the save files to try and create items. I have gotten far enough to get crazy amounts of gold out of it. Also I got a little further than any of the hex edit guides posted on any sites I have checked out. When I get enough figured out I will make my own post.
