Investigate

How it works

Investigate is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Open Lock (effect type 33).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 50 yards.

What it does

Investigate is a spell with a 1.5 sec cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it opens a lock.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 9 separate Spell records named "Investigate". This page is record #1298252. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
