ItemType

These are the possible itemType and itemSubType returns of GetItemInfo.

Item Types and Item Sub Types Edit

Every item in the game has a type and subtype of some kind. No valid item will return nil for either of these values. Be aware that the strings are localized on the clients.

Possible itemType returns Edit

"Armor", "Consumable", "Container", "Gem", "Key", "Miscellaneous", "Money", "Reagent", "Recipe", "Projectile", "Quest", "Quiver", "Trade Goods", "Weapon" for English client. Generally they are the same strings you see in the auction search tab.

Notes Edit

• For the itemtype "Armor" and the itemtype "Weapon," the possible itemsubtype returns seem to be consistent with the names of the proficiency spells. For example "Daggers" is the same name as Spell 1180. This may be useful for localizing an add-on that checks against these values. However, if your add-on just prints these values, GetItemInfo already returns the localized string.
