This is a test of loot linking inside a PHP BB forum. It could be made to work equally on any forum, provided the server's also capable of running an ASP.NET page.

I can add loot links to my posts just by knowing the name of the item I want. No complicated markup required.

Vitali quite fancies some High Warlord's Leather Spaulders, just because they're excessive.

Of course people used to drool over the stylish Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros, but it's not as excessive as it used to be.

Some items may need disambiguating, for example, Fel Leather Boots, as wowhead returns multiple results for this name. Just click the link to see what I mean.

This is easily done by giving the item number, which you can find by viewing an item in wowhead or thottbot and then looking for it in the URL.

Here's an item numbered reference: Fel Leather Boots.

And another: Pattern: Fel Leather Boots.

If I get the item number right, the name doesn't matter: Pattern: Bel Feather Loots. Notice I got the name wrong, but it's corrected once the item is loaded.

How Do I Make It Work?
