  been making some decent progress on my itemdb site. however, i've hit an issue when it comes to items that are tagged "special" when it comes to their QL.

nothing in my data that i can find, specifically tells me if an item has this flag/property at all. the items still have an actual QL, so its not some special QL# to denote it... but i cant figure out where to find it.

 since i use jayde's tool to rip the db, i've also looked through the options in it when writing plugins, but i dont see anything in that either.  as his xml output plugin doesnt check for this tag either.

suggestions?

Well the DB item still has a QL even if it is special, so it must be a flag somewhere that determines what it is. It could be that Jaydes tool doesn't support it at all, in which case you might be SOL... I still say you might as well just write an entirely new parser as Jaydes can be a bit iffie as-is and a replacement is needed....

this is how my site does it.
checks for bit 5 on the items' "flags" attribute
