Hello, Members, admins, today i gonna show you how to edit your gems values.
I don't take any Credits for that , because that was answer to my question in support section.
P.s That is my first "tutorial" on that forum, don't blame me if i do something wrong. :)

Okay, first of all what we need.


Okay, we can start.
Open up your DBC editor and choose the "spellItemEnchantment.dbc" file.
Locate your eyes to column number "33" and scroll down until you see your gem item id, for example mine was "40111" and i found that :

Good, i found mine gem. now i scroll left to column number "5" and number "8"
Change the value which you need, for example i will take the "100"

524Fe.png


Okay, we changed the value of gem, but the description still the same...
No problem, just navigate your mouse to column "14" And change the description of your Gem. Mine was +20 str, i change it to +100.

Tadaaaam. Now you need to make custom patch , if you don't know how to do that, just feel free to ask, i will update this "tutorial" soon then. :)

Good luck, and thank you for your attention. :)

Result in game :

ok a little guide :
Download MPQ editor (google.com MPQ editor)
open it Create new MPQ - > next - > next
Create folder DBFilesClient
Place your edited .dbc file
Done.
Don't forget name mpq file patch-4.MPQ

And don't forget to edit your server side .dbc :)

I did that serverals time, but it won't help :-<. I place patch file in wow/data folder. I'm using 4.3.4 server

P/s: Custom gem i made following your guide, it works but it won't display. I know it works by see stats increase by add socket gem!

I was running a server in local with it, everything is OK, stat increase when i use custom gem, i can buy item in shop with custom extendedcosts. The problem is only i don't know how to make patches or my repack doesn't support it? I don't have experience about making patch -_-

What you posted is very confusing. What you're saying is your custom gem works but you don't know how to make patches? How did you get the custom gem to work if you don't know how to make a patch for it? I read the other posts in page one and you're very confusing. :p

For one, I don't recommend using a repack. Given that some DBC edits don't require server side changes, it is just the fact you're very limited on what you can do when using a repack.

The only major things you need to worry about when making patches is the patch name, folder names and where folders are placed via MPQ.

You can view: https://emudevs.com/showthread.php/3339-How-to-create-an-MPQ-Archive to make an MPQ archive file.

1. Once you've made your MPQ file, open it up with Ladik's MPQ Editor
2. Make a new folder called "DBFilesClient"
3. Click on the folder and move your edited dbc file in it
4. Move your new MPQ into your World of Warcraft\Data folder
5. Move the edited dbc into your Server's dbc\ folder and replace the old one

Simple as that. Don't forget to close WoW.exe and clear your cache every time you restart the server when editing existing items.

Hi Tommy :3
Well, i know how it works because this:
1: https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd...._=1436243758_7d5cbb87af8406c8c254cfac0f230f83
2: https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd...._=1436243758_7d5cbb87af8406c8c254cfac0f230f83

It isn't show that is red gem give +400 strength

And i downloaded MPQ in Emudevs host. Then i do this:
1: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd....9_10200436869760225_7026187009168225465_o.jpg
2: https://scontent-sin.xx.fbcdn.net/h...0_10200436869640222_1035729618193366459_o.jpg

Then the result:
https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd...._=1436196742_7b954b9c324d6502de6af075eb80404d
This is just example of custom patch not working for extendedcosts :)

I followed all of your step, which DBC i edited, i already placed it in DBC Folder. Thanks for your time ;)

The major issue can be in changed files structure and stuff , how i know all what > 4.0.6 do not support custom patches, since we can't create custom items on that patches i think that can cross the way for custom sockets display too & most of custom stuff. :)
