edit: also my item id is a unique id for the actual item ex;

Potion itemid-> 47288
weapon -> 47289
randomly dropped item in dungeon lets say its a pair of gloves -> 52920

I basically want it for item tracking

All of the item info can be stored in a DB yea, like image/thumbnail/weight/etc.

And just store the item ID and quantity in the client flags like explained above.
