I purchased food for my dragon to help in battle. ( *Fired Kustera.) I purchased total of 6 (*) items from 3 players. I used one in a AoH battle. on or about 19:00 est. After the battle I logged out with 5 items show on my screen along with orbs that I use. I just logged back in at 23:10 est and found all five missing. I realize that when you use 1 it is good for 20 mins. Did I miss something. Should I have placed them back into my backpack. I did not see this disclaimer anywhere. Not the 1st time something turned up missing. The other day everyone was given an item to assist in battles. I saw mine, Logged off to switch computers. When I logged back on, it also was gone. I questioned a fellow player about that, and was told that theirs was still there. I did not even get to use it. Not good . Thanks for input that relates to my problem.
