Blobs are the best format for the way that EQEmu uses them... they were NOT designed to be the best for third party programs, as that would be retarded. If you want to find all leggings that your warrior can wear.. you should probably load them all and then search just as we do.. that way there is less load on the SQL server and you can do more than one search without going through all of the data on SQL again.
