Item Variations not showing

I don't know if the way this program records it or if they are actually conisdered the same item but items like this Mash chain

http://wwndata.worldofwar.net/item.php?id=12042

I have the same one except is a Marsh chain of the Tiger with
+6 agility
+6 strength

In my inventory in the 3rd bag down on the right side:
http://wwndata.worldofwar.net/charac...page=inventory

It shows up as the item in the seach not the item it actually is. I looked through the forums but i did not see anything that mentioned this. Maybe i just missed it though. They seem to me to be diferent items as they have different stats but they are the same base item.

Hi,

You are right, in our DB we only store one variation of a certain item. All items in WoW have an ID, different variations of the same item ( different Pre of Suffixes ) still have the same ID in WoW.

So if we would have to store variations, it means we wouldn't be able to use the WoW Item ID anymore, but instead we should log items based on Item Name + Item ID.

This would add a lot of additional items to our DB of course, but in fact, those are just variations of the same Base item.

I'll check with Rushter what he thinks about it though.


Regards,


Annunaki

I think there needs to be some way to tell the variations of the items. Especially on the character page as it is useless to show an item with the wrong stats. Maybe store the variations as a sub-set of the base item, and a way to show the correct stats of the item when you are wearing it.

Just my $.02 worth
