1. Extracting DBC

 

  1. Download program called "mpqediten32"

  2. Open up C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enGB\patch-enGB.MPQ in mpqediten. (Your wow-path, GB / US / xx)

  3. On the popup, just click ok

  4. You find the "Item.dbc" under DBCFilesClient. Throw it out of the MPQ, say use C:\DBC

2. Editing DBC

 

  1. Download a program to edit DBCs

  2. Open up the C:\DBC\Item.dbc in DBC Editor

  3. Now you see a bunch of entries pop up. For each custom item, you add a new line.

The columns in the DBC:

 

  1. id = Item Entry ID in DataBase

  2. field1 = compare with your database, find matching ones*

  3. field2 = compare with your database, find matching ones*

  4. field3 = compare with your database, find matching ones*

  5. field4 = compare with your database, find matching ones*

  6. field5 = DisplayID from your DataBase

  7. field6 = compare with your database, find matching ones*

  8. field7 = compare with your database, find matching ones*

 

 

* The compare with your databse ones you have to figure out yourself, but basicly pick a few rows and compare them with the same items from your DB and you'll figure out to which column they point to = ) (this due to different cores using different type databses)

 

3. Making a new Patch

 

  1. After you're done with your DBC editing. Save it with the same name "Item.dbc"

  2. Open up mpqediten and click file -> new MPQ archive.

  3. As filename set "patch-enGB-9.mpq" or any number above the blizzard's ones.

  4. Leave Default Settings BUT Make sure to use MPQ 2

  5. Create a folder in the MPQ called "DBCFilesClient"

  6. Go in the new folder and throw in the edited version of Item.dbc

  7. Now create a new notepad file (On your desktop not the MPQ). Call it "(listfile)" Must be inside of () and not a txt file.

  8. In the (listfile) type "DBFilesClient\Item.dbc"

  9. Save and throw the (listfile) inside of the MPQ's Root Folder.

 

 

4. Using the MPQ

 

  1. Save the new created MPQ

  2. Throw it in your world of warcraft/data/enGB

  3. Launch WoW!

 

 

And you're done!

 

Addinitional Notices!

DBC Editing is illegal

For any1 who wants to use this fix, must have the MPQ in their wow/data/locale folder. (This means you gotta create download link for public server's players)

The locale MUST BE your client locale, not always enGB, also note it in the MPQ name.

In some cases, you must also put the edited DBC inside of the server folder, ex: C:\Trinity\Source\Bin\Win32\DBC

 

Thankyou for your time and intrest. Im not taking any credit for being the "first one to archieve this" but neither giving away any credits since I didn't recieve any help even when I requested it.
