    It's because the entry id's check the DBC files to see what there displayid is. If the entry is not in the DBC it has no displayid.
    Simple way to fix: Find a blizzard item that has the icon you want, delete it, but your item in with the same id.
    Happy items

    No doesnt work, thats what we did with HeroicWoW.

    We have it fixed on ours, but to tell you the truth it was GastricPenguin and his 10x Awesomeness Level that fixed it for us, so sorry.

    It.. doesn't work using my method? 0_0 Well it's working for me on Arc rev 2203 fine which is pretty new still... If replacing a blizzard item doesn't work then thats something wrong with your server surely because every server I've done it on works.

    Aye, I also admit the best way to edit an item and keep everything in order is to change an old item. I'm using mangos and that trick does wonders.

    It really would be nice if it didn't work like that, say we could add any item and get away with it, but honestly with 32000+ items, there are loads that are useless and can be changed.

    You could probably edit the DBC files to get custom items working.. but editing DBC's is a nightmare, I only use it for simple stuff such as zone changing. Last time I tried to open the spell dbc my computer crashed xD so yeah, unless you can find a guide or work it out yourself then thats a problem.
    There is an addon you can get everyone to download which will give icons that have a "?" the correct addon, but it's client side only and you still have to drag the item on.

    If using HeidiSQL open up item_template and do a search for the item you wish to delete. Then when you get the entry to come up, right click and delete. It will ask you if you would like to delete the one entry.

    Also be aware that if you added an item into playercreateinfo_item you will need to get rid of it there and if you added it to a Vendor in game, you will also need to delete it from npc_vendor to clear up all errors that uknown items might cause.
