to grab the item ID from wowhead, vbulletins built in XML parser to get the item ID and Quality of the item. It stores the item name, item ID and item quality (the three things it needs to make the tooltip) in a database (created during install). If you're currently using gItemStats, it will copy your existing itemstats database over to the new table during installation.
