Anyone have experience with Sacred 2 items?

I cleaned up a backup save file so that my character only has two items in her backpack, but I still can't find them in the hex editor in order to change their values. I downloaded a chart of "item ids" but searching for them didn't do anything and searching for the values of the modifiers didn't do anything. If anyone knows what structure the items follow I'd appreciate some tips.

You have to use Offzip/Packzip on the Save before you can mod it.

I'm sorry, I should have been clearer. I have offzipped my save into separate .dat files and I have located the .dat that contains my character. Opening the .dat with HxD and searching for the item ids turns up invalid searches. The rest of the character data is easy to read and edit because it follows an easy to see pattern, but I can't find any pattern with the items.

If I could just get a basic description of the structure I'd be able to identify it by eye in the hex editor.
