Item ID List (General Categories)

Item ID List (General Categories)

For players who enjoy using the console commands or creating custom mods, knowing the general item ID categories can be incredibly useful. These IDs are the internal identifiers for all items within the game, allowing for precise spawning and manipulation. This list provides a foundational understanding of these categories.

Item IDs in Oblivion are typically structured in a hexadecimal format. While a full list is extensive, understanding the general categories can help you predict or search for specific item types.

General Item ID Categories:

• Weapons: IDs for swords, axes, maces, bows, and daggers. These often start with prefixes related to the weapon type or material.
• Armor: IDs for helmets, cuirasses, gauntlets, greaves, and boots, covering both light and heavy varieties.
• Apparel: IDs for clothing, rings, amulets, and other wearable items that aren't strictly armor.
• Potions: IDs for all consumable potions, categorized by their effects.
• Ingredients: IDs for alchemical ingredients, crucial for potion crafting.
• Books: IDs for all in-game books, including skill books and lore books.
• Quest Items: IDs for items specifically tied to quests. These are often unique and essential for progression.
• Miscellaneous: A broad category encompassing items like keys, crafting materials, and other non-specific objects.
• Spells: While not physical items, spell IDs are also part of the game's data and can be referenced.

Example of how IDs might work (hypothetical):

For precise IDs, you would typically consult dedicated item ID lists or use in-game console commands like 'showallitems' (though this command may not be universally available or functional depending on the game version and platform). Remember that incorrect IDs can cause game instability.
