About
GiveItem adds one or more copies of an item to your inventory without requiring a GFI code. You must supply the item's complete blueprint path, the long class name, rather than its shorthand GFI code.
Use this command when you need fine control over item quality (a numeric value representing durability, stat rolls, or other properties) or when you want to grant a blueprint instead of the finished item. Set the final parameter to 0 to receive the item itself, or 1 to receive only its blueprint, which a player must then craft or unlock.
For most day-to-day admin work, GiveItemNum or GiveItem with a GFI code is faster; use this version when the GFI code isn't available or quality tuning matters.
