Thanks for that. I just had a look and as I suspected the number at the end is required level, and even after changing it to 1 they still do not drop from the crates on the beach of Cyseal at the start of the game.
I have work now but I will try the value 0 later but I don't suspect anything will change.
I have the file in the correct directory as I modified the boost groups as an experiment and they worked in-game so there's no confusion with placement.
