Looking up items in 6.x

[GnaXi]

It is currently not possible to lookup items, if you're on 6.x. Is there some specific reason for this? Is it being handled differently than in 3.5.5?

Is it being handled differently than in 3.5.5?

Yes, exactly. So we need to implement the API different and the Keira2 core to support it.

Why?What is the reason?

@darkz1984 : in 3.3.5, item data is kept in the table item_template in the world database. As a contrast to that, in 6.x, the item data is in the item_sparse table in the hotfixes database. So both the database name and table name changed in 6.x and are not compatible across branches. Most of the reason for this is the difference in DBC/DB2 data usage in 6.x compared to the 3.3.5 branch.

@darkz1984 : like ShinDarth suggested, it will be up to those who know enough about both Keira2 and the TrinityCore 6.x DB to create a Pull Request to Keira2 to make a working version there for the 6.x item info. Myself, I don't have enough knowledge about the inner workings of Keira2 to know how to fix the current DB item info from 6.x.
