Items

item_basic

Stores basic item information that is common to all items. For an item to exist, it must have an entry in this table.

item_id should match what is found in POLUtils or on ffxiah.com

name is the long name of an item, such as flask_of_echo_drops. If you're scripting a file, this is the file name you should use.

sortname is the shortened name, such as echo_drops.

stackSize determines if an item should stack, and how many should stack. The client acts a bit odd if you stack items that aren't supposed to be stacked, but generally will let you stack things like Frozen Giant Skulls if you want to improve the Dynamis experience, for example.

unlock_index refers to the id of the weapon in item_weapon_unlocked.

item_mods

Stores uncommon information, from Defense to "Enhances Dual Wield Effect."

item_mods is an unindexed table. As such, always keep in mind that it's possible to have duplicate values, which darkstar will cheerfully use without questioning them.

itemId links the table back to the item via item_basic, and should always match.

modId is what is being modified. A list of these values can be found in /scripts/globals/status.lua (listed in hexadecimal,) or in /src/map/modifier.h (listed in hexadecimal.) Remember to convert them to decimal for use in this table.

value is how much of the modifier to grant, and can be positive or negative. It's best to research any modifier you're unsure of, as some are stored and applied in unexpected ways, such as Magic Damage Taken being stored as amount/256, while Physical Damage Taken is stored as amount%.

item_furniture

Stores information regarding moghouse furniture.

itemId links back to item_basic, and should always match.

name may just be for readability's sake, and is the long name for the item.

moghancement needs to be researched.

element is the elemental alignment of the furniture.

aura needs to be researched (strength of effect?)

item_usable

Stores information regarding items that can be used. An item cannot be used unless it is in this table.

itemid links this table back to item_basic, and should match.

subid seems to primarily be used with spell scrolls, and probably just stores the spellid to be unlocked.

validTargets is a bitmask storing what the item can be used on. Being a bitmask, the values should be added for each valid target type. Self (1) + party (2) = 3.

Value	Valid target
1	Self
2	Player in user's party
4	Enemy
8	Player in user's alliance
16	Players outside of user's party/alliance
32	Dead players

animation determines which animation should be used with the item.

animation time needs to be researched, but probably determines how long the player can't move for the item usage to succeed.

maxCharges is the maximum number of usages.

useDelay is likely how long the item must be equipped before it can be used.

reuseDelay is likely how long must pass between item uses.

itemId links back to item_basic, and should always match.

modId is the number that represents the stat boost when active

name is the same name used in item_basic, only useful for reading what the weapon is (and the filename of the script if it has a script)

dmgType is the type of damage the weapon inflicts (piercing, blunt, handtohand, slashing).

hit is the number of hits of the weapon.

point is the amount of weaponskill points needed to "break" the weapon and unlock its associated latent effects.
