Hi and thanks Garkin, had to read this earlier to prevent my night of trying to find this for myself
Do you know how to specify the trait ... i have both set item-id but some have divine, some are charged and some without anything and i do not find a system behind this.
For example 43971 -43975 are Spectre's Eye cloth but some have a trait some not, a number above its a complety other set ... weird.
Anybody up to writign a library for this data?
I mean it is a lot of data that a lot of addons could use. It does not look like you could do this without lookup tables.
So it would be best if there was a central library for this data that Inventory addons can use, rather then each and everyone making thier own implementation.
I noticed a pattern. Excluding the No trait, all traits ID seems to be +35 relative to the previous traits ID.
It is possible thier list is ordered by Trait first, set/specific item second.
If so there would be a lot of untraited items between No Trait and Sturdy (+1492 if the offset between No Trait and Sturdy).
Another pattern is how many items you can craft right now:
7 Heavy Armor + 7 light armor + 7 medium armor = 21
4 Staves, 1 Bow, 1 Shield = 6
7 Metal working weapons = 7
21+6+7 = 34
There is still a slight discrepancy. But I noticed some entries in the Weapon Type enumeration that might account for the discrepancy:
WEAPONTYPE_AXE = 1
WEAPONTYPE_BOW = 8
WEAPONTYPE_DAGGER = 11
WEAPONTYPE_FIRE_STAFF = 12
WEAPONTYPE_FROST_STAFF = 13
WEAPONTYPE_HAMMER = 2
WEAPONTYPE_HEALING_STAFF = 9
WEAPONTYPE_LIGHTNING_STAFF = 15
WEAPONTYPE_NONE = 0 WEAPONTYPE_PROP = 7
WEAPONTYPE_RUNE = 10
WEAPONTYPE_SHIELD = 14
WEAPONTYPE_SWORD = 3
WEAPONTYPE_TWO_HANDED_AXE = 5
WEAPONTYPE_TWO_HANDED_HAMMER = 6
WEAPONTYPE_TWO_HANDED_SWORD = 4
Using my Excel-fu I managed to make a simple worksheet that can generate sequential item ID's, both for direct copy into the chat and for copy into a .lua files table initialiser.
It might help to figure out what the other 35 Items are to get a feel for the overall order behind this. And the excel sheet can help with that by generating the ID's for us.
I think they have a tree structure where items are ordered by trait.
Each item ID with specific trait is only a leaf belonging to a "trait branch". At least as far as "craftable items with traits" are concerned (hence the seperation of the Traitless item).
Let's start with the 71 ID between Sturdy Shield and Reinforced Shield.
ID's for Chat copy:
Powered is the first weapon Trait
Sturdy the first armor Trait
And I totally forgot the Jerkins (alternative light chest) in my original count, wich accounts for all 35 item types.
The "list" of items starts with Cuirass and ends with dagger, only to start again with the 2nd trait, then 3rd trait.
There should also be links for Ornate and Intricate Traits.
