I have my items like this Client Side.
It doesn't make it any more hackable, the server only sends item data to the client for display purposes/editing.
When item packets are sent to the server, it only sends the item index number.
Then the server uses it's own data to use each item.
So Client side, I could add +50 to item 3's attack, but when the item is equipped, the server will look at it's own attack value for Item #3, and use it.
I did this a few weeks ago because my items have descriptions, and I didn't see any reason to send text packets that will only be used client side.
