How to create itemsets

Hey there, in this tutorial I'll be explaining how itemsets work and how you can make your own.

Things Needed:

Basic knowledge about editing DBCs and packing MPQs.
DBC Editor (Preferably Taaliis)
MPQEditor

Before we start messing with any DBCs you'll need the items that will make up your itemset, obviously. For this tutorial I'll be using 'Recruit's Boots', 'Recruit's Pants' and 'Recruit's Shirt' just for simplicity's sake. When you have found/made your items, head into your dbc folder and find itemset.dbc. Open it up, create a new row and then edit these columns to your liking:

#0 - ID (Unique Identifier)
#1 - Name (Self explanatory.)
#18-25 - This is where you put your items entries. (In my case I'll only be using #18-20 since I only have three items in my set.)
#35-42 - This is the actual setbonuses, the spell entries. (You can find spells in your spell.dbc or simply browse wowhead.)
#43-49 - This is the number of items required for each setbonus. (2,4,6,8 etc...)

Example:

That's it for the DBC. (Don't forget to put the DBCs on your server and pack them into your MPQ as always.)

The last part is to add the itemset IDs to your items in the database. Here's the query I used:
Code:
UPDATE item_template
SET itemset = "902"
WHERE entry IN (38,39,40);

My results:

That's it for this tutorial. Itemsets are very basic as you might have noticed, but I hope this will help some of you beginners out there.

Hey there. Loved your tutorial, but could you please explain me that particular part? It seems you refered about number of items, yet i've seen in the screenshot that you added the value "2" in #43 and value "3" in #44.
How does that part work? Thanks in advance.

Without reading the tutorial and not really remembering how the above goes, the above is the set bonus item requirements. For the first set bonus, taking his example into account, you require two set items equipped. For the second bonus, you require 3 items equipped. Thus, 2 in 43 and 3 in 44 :)

If you set 44 to 5, you would need 5 items equipped for the 2nd bonus to be activated.

Oh thanks for your explanation, understood completely now :)
