Sorry, forgot to mention that this is an Item. I believe the specific data element I am trying to locate is in "Substruct_BaseItemDescription", called skill_req1 and skill_req2. The latest version for this is 860, so I am assuming this means nothing has changed in this base item description structure since data version 860.
Also, after discussing this at length with Bion in PMs, I am almost to the conclusion that FF FF FF FF is what SOE is sending, and it simply means "All/All", similar to what "0" would have been. Maybe they got a new developer on Items and he likes to do things his way (you know how those developers are...) but I'd still like 100% confirmation of this before assuming this values purpose. The server needs to know how to handle a skill ID that does not exist (yet), regardless.
