+Format of the "gift bytes" \r
+\r
+$03 XX YY \r
+(!!! this $03 is not the L2BASM opcode $03) \r
+\r
+$XX = the low byte of the item number \r
+\r
+$YY = high byte of the item number (always $00 or $01) + p \r
+\r
+      p is a number related to the probability of getting \r
+      the item, maybe probability * 4. It's always an even number. \r
+\r
+Example:\r
+\r
+Gift bytes of the Vampire: $03 73 65 \r
+  $65 = $64 + $01 \r
+  => item number: $0173 (Bat rock) \r
+  => p = $64 = 100 = 4 * 25 \r
+     => 25 % (?) chances that a defeated Vampire \r
+        will drop a Bat rock \r
