Simple Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 So I just finished reading the post on how to identify steam items and from what I understand, as long as the contextid doesn't change when one user trades an item to another user, the classid should ALWAYS remain the same? If so, is the classid all that is needed to identify the item in that case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Classids can change whenever they want.But I tested if out with Rust items, and the same type of items had identical classids even if they were in different inventories. Does that mean classids are enough to identify a Rust item? EDIT: Did some more research, classid seems to be the same for all items with the same descriptions, so in Rust's case I don't think the description can be changed by the user and so there should technically be only 1 unique classid for each type of item. Am I understanding this right? Edited September 28, 2018 by Simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. McKay Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 That's generally true, but you'll probably come across some item someday with a different classid and it will break all your stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you know this: Does classid change when item's name changes? I have this case when Booster Pack's name changes with games name and I am not able to keep track of my Purchase orders Edited May 13, 2022 by Nickers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
