Example: Item enchanted with Spell holy greaterheal [Minor Stamina].

"|cff0070dd|Hitem:80921:4721:::::::36:103::1:::::::|h[Saboteur's Stabilizing Bracers]|h|r"

Gem IDs[]

Gems are listed by itemID for each socket.

Example: Inv helm mail dungeonmail c 06 [Helm of Elemental Binding] socketed with Inv jewelcrafting gem 16 [Perfect Brilliant Bloodstone] for only the 2nd gem slot.

"|cff0070dd|Hitem:87451:::41438:::::53:257:::1:6658:2:9:35:28:1035:::::|h[Helm of Elemental Binding]|h|r"
4: 41438 -- gemID2

Suffix IDs[]

WoW Icon update Item suffixes in Classic are given to items that get randomized stat ratings e.g. "of the Bear" and refer to (multiple) enchantIDs.

Example: Suffix with a positive ID from Classic Era.

"|cff1eff00|Hitem:9849::::::776:661453184:33:::::::::|h[Conjurer's Hood of the Owl]|h|r"

Example: Suffix with a negative ID from Burning Crusade Classic.

"|cff1eff00|Hitem:6267::::::-9:1379794946:33:::::::::|h[Disciple's Pants of the Owl]|h|r"

Bonus IDs[]

See also: Raidbots bonus IDs data

BonusIDs can adjust item levels, modify stats, change item quality, add item titles, append words to item names, add sockets, adjust appearance, adjust required equip level, and possibly many more. They can be looked up in ItemBonus.db2.ParentItemBonusListID

Example: Timewarped Warforged Inv gauntlets 19 [Gauntlets of Vindication]. If say you want to find all possible Warforged Bonus IDs, look up the ItemNameDescription IDs for "warforged" and filter for IDs 11428|13220.

Crafter GUID[]

Unit GUID of the player who crafted the item. For example a Inv staff 02 [Lesser Magic Wand].

"|cff1eff00|Hitem:11287::::::::36:103::::1:28:1418::::Player-3299-0050F7FB:|h[Lesser Magic Wand]|h|r"

Extra Enchant IDs[]

For example an item with the Nitro Boosts engineering tinker.

"|cff1eff00|Hitem:173341::::::::53:257::11:1:6707:2:9:51:28:1318:::::4223|h[Cord of Uncertain Devotion]|h|r"

Other details[]

  • Any Transmogrification info is not supplied to item links.
  • Item links obtained from the Void Storage will give a generic GetItemInfo() link which only contain the itemID, linkLevel and specializationID since all modifications will have been removed.

Examples[]

/run SendChatMessage("\124cffffffff\124Hitem:6948::::::::54:257:::::::::\124h[Hearthstone]\124h\124r")
The first number is the ItemID for a Inv misc rune 01 [Hearthstone]. The next 7 values are empty, which tells the client it has no enchants, gems and extra stats. The 9th number means that the link originated from a level 54 character. The 10th number 257 (SpecializationID) specifies the character to be a Holy Priest.


/run SendChatMessage("\124cffa335ee\124Hitem:18832:2564:::::::::::::::::\124h[Brutality Blade]\124h\124r")
The first number is the ItemID for a Inv sword 15 [Brutality Blade]. The second number (EnchantId) denotes that it is enchanted with +3 agility.

Inspecting links[]

You can inspect a hyperlink from the in-game chat window.

/dump "[Red Winter Hat]"
> "|cff1eff00|Hitem:21524::::::::53:257::::::::|h[Red Winter Hat]|h|r"

From an addon, when clicking a hyperlink in-game.

hooksecurefunc("SetItemRef", function(link, text)
	print(text:gsub("|", "||"))
	for k, v in pairs({strsplit(":", link)}) do
		if #v > 0 then
			print(k-1, v)
		end
	end
end)
"|cff1eff00|Hitem:21524::::::::53:257::::::::|h[Red Winter Hat]|h|r"
