[Guide] How to make Custom Weapons Work Properly

[Pedregon]

Thanks to blizzard, you can no longer use custom weapons's unless there item "ID" is already in the game/ DBC's. You would get an error saying "you need to equip a weapon".

Here's a guide on how to get over it and use custom item's;

1. Create the custom weapon.

2. Go to this link for a list of unused item id's that are already in the dbc's and use an item id listed in it.

3. Execute the custom weapon into your database and it should work correctly.

I don't think you have to do this on MaNGOS, i made a sword(id : 999998) and i was able to equip it. :)

you can equip but you can't cast spells from melee with custom weapons ;p

+rep when I can, but can you repost it? pastebin is not working right it gives me an error,

500 - Internal Server Error

Repost it please :D

its also worth noting on trinity atleast, if you change the display id of an unused item, it will use the display id of the unused item, not the one you make.
i have tested this on trinity only

I was really needing this.

I know this topic is a bit old but I felt I had to share this asap.

I've found Frostmourne's id on the list.

464

Its entry is 36942 on the list. If you make a custom item and use that entry id for it it will appear as frostmourne ingame. It wont have a Question mark icon. it wil be clickable equiped. Will work with your abilities as the screenshot shows.

I'm going through this whole list and exploring the items. I'll prolly share them sooner or later. You guys should try out some those ids. A lot look really nice.

Yeah. They do. Only you can't change their displayID & sheath. Otherwise they work so well!
