Find Any Item's Display ID

[Greed]

If there is an item you see, lets say on WoWhead that you wish to view but it isnt on your server yet. Lets see how to easily go from WoWhead to your server.

----------------------------
Things you will need:

Wowhead: OM NOM NOM General Knowledge (how to navigate)
FireFox: Firefox 3 download
Ad-Popup Protection turned off
----------------------------

First: Go to WoWhead

First you will need to go to wowhead.com and look up the item you wish.
--For this example we will be using the item Hailstorm http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40491

Second: Find the box titled: "View in 3d"


Highlight it, and right click, find where it says "View Section Source"


A box should come up, and scroll till you see the Display ID, and you win!


This works for:
Items
Mounts
NPC's

&xml - And the Display ID and such will come up, but nice method, dude.

Or you can use WoW-V's Item id lookup tool.
