As I cannot post on the official forums as my account is frozen at the moment (I'm waiting for Mists of Pandaria to be released before issuing a new subscription), I'll see if there's someone here that can help me.
I've been trying to test a tooltip on the PTR servers, and it regards the epic item
Shin'ka, Execution of Dominion, one of nine base items tied to the Black Prince legendary quest chain coming in patch 5.1. First of all, disregard the "Hydraulic Socket" on Wowhead, in-game it simply reads Sha-Touched (which is also the item's flavor text). These items can have one Crystal of Fear in the Sha-Touched socket; three of these crystals are available. For this axe,
Crystallized Terror is the most appropriate. It's also the gem I've been trying to find the enchantId of, as I want to know how it looks when that is added, what colour the slot has and so forth.
As a base, this is what I used as a simple item link, courtesy of Wowhead:
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cffa335ee\124Hitem:86386:89881:0:4978:0:0:0:0:0\124h[Shin'ka, Execution of Dominion]\124h\124r");
You can see that via the API function itemString, I have added the yellow/blue gem Turbid Alexandrite (it's just a visual effect in-game, nothing happens to the item). Or rather, I have added that item's enchantId, which is 4978, different from its itemId which is 76515 as seen in the link. As I didn't have access to any list of enchantIds for gems in Mists of Pandaria, I just randomly wrote different numbers. Sometimes they led to gems, and sometimes they led to enchantments (Dancing Steel for example). This became very tedious as I didn't know how these enchantmentIds were ordered, and I really don't have any interesting in going through hundreds, maybe thousands, of numbers to get the enchantmentId for Crystallized Terror. Therefore, having seen multiple (though in a small number) lists of enchantmentIds for past expansions as well as current content (up to patch 4.3 anyway), I assumed there must be some easier way to extract Ids than to randomly guess. My searches on this topic appeared very few, and I couldn't find much information in Blizzard's API page either.
Therefore, if someone that knows LUA well could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated. I simply want to know the enchantId of Crystallized Terror so I can check what its full tooltip looks like, both for testing purposes and personal interest. If you can help me, I'm glad to return the favor in reasonable ways.
As for something a bit lighter, itemString can actually be applied on ALL items. This can provide some harmless fun as you also can link the item in chat. I do it from time to time, and the whispers I get are usually hilarious. Anyway, as an example, take the Big Love Rocket mount:
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cffa335ee\124Hitem:50250:2677:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h[Big Love Rocket]\124h\124r");
This enchants it with "Superior Mana Oil", and you just made it even dirtier. Experiment as you like with this, for role playing purposes you can add certain cool weapon effects (Landslide, Power Torrent) to weapons that normally cannot have such. You can't of course wield it, but that wouldn't stop a role player, would it.
