Developer:Spell IDs

Spell ID Structure
It is important to understand these ranges are merely "padding", and no particular class or race really has 1,000 abilities assigned to it (not yet at least!) but this allows those who customize their Spells tables plenty of room to leave our default spells, but create some new ones of their own without losing the default data.
Note: This is only our suggestion, and in no way should anyone else feel they need to follow this example. Admins are free to customize ID's in anyway they deem fit for their environment.
Common
Common spells/abilities are those castable effects that every class (or race) might have, such as harvesting, tradeskilling, summoning a mount, or returning to a bind point.
Classes
The numbering scheme to follow for player Classes is "ClassID * 10000" (that is ten-thousand). Example, Guardian ClassID is 3. Multiply that by 10,000 and you have the starting of the Guardian Class spells (10,000 - 19,999).
Races
Racial Traits and Traditions are a little different. Since there are not as many Racial spells as Class spells, we decided to shrink the range to 1,000. So the formula for deriving a Racial Spell ID is: (RaceID * 1,000) + 500,000 (with 500,000 being the base starting point for Racial Spell ID's).
Example, the Ratonga RaceID is 13. Multiply that by 1,000 = 13,000 + 500,000 = 513,000. The range is 1,000 numbers so the Ratonga RaceID max is 513,999. Simple, right?
Spell ID Chart
Below is a chart demonstrating the current Spell ID layout and why we chose to do it this way.
|
|
General/Common spells such as "Sprint", "Call of...", or spells that every player has regardless of class. |
|
|
Tradeskill abilities are in this range. |
|
|
Object interaction functionality, like "Burn Tent" or "Steal Book". These need "spells" merely for the casting timers and to cause a certain action to take place. They will never be spells you see in your Knowledgebook, and are only for this purpose. And there are surprisingly many of them. |

Note: Races and Classes are static in EQ2 Emulator - meaning, you cannot change them to custom race or class. However, using the vast customization of EQ2 Emulator data, you can create any race/class combos of spells and abilities imaginable. Even ones Sony has never thought of!
Note2: Also keep in mind that just because the range goes to *,999 does not mean there are 1,000 Racial and 10,000 Class spells PER group - that is just the space available to create spells for that race or class. Most Class Spell ID's have no more than 160 spells, so typing /useability 109999 will never yield results, since we simply do not have 10,000 Paladin spells. 
Enjoy!
