Hello all, just wondering what you can do with item ID's I received this email from someone...

Hi there,
Im in charge of the S2bookworld database and am in need of the ID number for the Honey Yurble that you are lucky enough to own. Id sure appreciate if you could please send the ID number for that item to me. Posted Image

The easiest way to find the ID is to put the Item in your SDB. Just hover your mouse over the 'Remove One' and you should see this: =passPin(2490,24863,'',''" at the bottom of your browser. The number you are looking for is the second number of the four. (In this case it would be 24863.)

Thanks so much for your help!

I notice on the jellyneo there is a section to find item ID's but not sure what they do or why care? :rolleyes:

    It sounds like an attempt to flesh out their item database, to me. Like ours, for example, which stores the ID information so that when you look up an item that has the same name as one or more other items, you get accurate information for the specific item you want. I would assume that they need someone who actually owns the item to look at said item to retrieve the ID if they don't have access to it themselves.

    I could be totally batshit wrong though.

    Yeah I get that all the time. It's harmless, just do it.

    Whenever I get a new item and put it up for trade or in a gallery I usually get a message like this. It's totally harmless and helps people organize databases.

    We're too lazy to do that stuff by hand so we just set up our system so it's all handled automatically. :p

    Nothing really, it's just a unique identifier for each item on Neopets and it increments when a new item is released. So, for example, the oldest item on Neopets is the Green Apple which has an obj_id of 1.

    Basically just differentiates between items with the same name. Treasure maps for example.

    I believe you can also search the SW and TP by item ID.
