Bah, I guess I figured out the item part. Previously I tried converting the bytes that I figured were the item ID into an integer, but it didn't work. Tried it the other way around and actually found it... except it was backwards. Little vs big endian or something... I never really learned that stuff.

Surprised that it works at all considering the item IDs are signed 32bit integers... but as I said previously, I'm not much of a binary hacker. I'm sure someone else knows how to deal with the negative IDs.

The final problem is that you'll either need to get ahold of an item database(If I ask nicely, the owner of EQ2LLinks might help), or make an application to request item results from a item link website and parse the resulting webpage for the name.
