c:resolve=statistics - What are spell and weapon?

I noticed this a while ago but never got around to asking.  When I do a c:show=statistics&c:resolve=statistics I get something that looks like this for max_melee_hit and max_magic_hit:

<max_melee_hit value="21867" <span style="color: #ff0000;">weapon="2509503205">  <world average="78077" max="56880888" of="47740" rank="5897">    <class average="9383" max="105690" of="1013" rank="138"/>  </world></max_melee_hit><max_magic_hit <span style="color: #ff0000;">spell="1201852391" value="1677133">  <world average="118956" max="245701152" of="47740" rank="403">    <class average="240828" max="3557466" of="1013" rank="22"/>  </world></max_magic_hit>

What are the numbers for weapon and spell?  Not the value= ones, those make sense.  I'm talking about the weapon= and spell= ones.  As far as I can tell, weapon doesn't point to the id in the item collection and spell doesn't point to the id or crc in the spell collection. 

What do these numbers mean?

Thanks a bunch!

Ironic that I found this out last night as well.    I was about to post on the topic this morning.  None of the IDs I've checked make any form of sense when looked up into the item list.

 

I have found spells that do not resolve, and at this point I think it is spells that have been removed from game.

I can tell you a player to check Cupo on Everfrost he got a melee in DoV in Forgotten Pools, so it will be with a current weapon which may properly resolve.

If that is the case then it could be from an item that has been removed from game in Dethdlr's example.

That data is worthless though, the records are all from buggy (not gonna call them exploits) situations.

You could also look up Lempo on Everfrost I have I think the #10 spot for warlocks on melee hit, and while I do not recall what it was or when it was not through the use of anything like I mentioned above.

 

Tried Cupo and Lempo on Everfrost.  Neither the weapon or spell numbers match any items or spells.

Maybe it's just bad luck on my part but so far, I haven't found a single one that matches either an item or a spell.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

 

Of course I say that and then immediately find one that pulls up an item.  I decided to try it on my level 13 Beastlord that I created to fiddle with.  Figured nothing he used would have been changed recently.  His weapon matches something in the item collection but the spell doesn't match the id or crc of anything in the spell collection.

I'm thinking it might just be better to pretend those two fields aren't really there.  <img src="/station/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" />

 

That was my stragegy.  

 

There is no point in including them, the spots are basically hijacked by abusing the potency buff in Forgotten Pools anyway.
