You'll just need some DBC editor, you should find some here, and then use the wiki link i gave you

Taliis is awesome to edit dbc

[Ravenheart]

I'm using this one if I need just to edit dbc's
or dbc<->csv converter and csved if I need to add some more lines to the dbc. Personally I don't like taliis, but it's up to you

Well.. after you download the DBC editor of your choice, extract CreatureDisplayInfo and CreatureDisplayInfoExtra dbcs from your wow, then open the CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc and find your npc's modelID / add a new one. Then you'll need the number from 4th column in that dbc so write it down or just remember it. Then open CreatureDisplayInfoExtra.dbc and follow the column descriptions on wiki to add / remove equipment from npc. Enjoy

[Flesh0209]

me again can ya tell me where or how to extract only those steps i find hard the rest il figure out =P lol
like where do i find the "extract CreatureDisplayInfo and CreatureDisplayInfoExtra dbcs from your wow"

[Ravenheart]

find some MPQ editor and open patch-xxYY.MPQ or patch-xxYY-2.MPQ which you can find in your World of Warcraft/Data/xxYY folder (xxYY means your language version of wow ) and there under DBFilesClient you'll find the dbcs

[Flesh0209]
