You can find the magic offset in iron_forges offset list

I've been playing around a bit with the values, offsets and the magic. What I found was that you get the Meta offset from taking the inverted value of the object you're looking at and subtract the "Magic" from it.
For the AR in Bloodgulch it goes like this:

Magic: 3FBEE68C
Value: A43B6240
Inverted value: 40623BA4
Inverted value - magic: 40623BA4 - 3FBEE68C = 00A35518
Meta: 00A35518
Inverted value - magic = meta

I hope that helped.

magic is subracted from pointers converted into big endian to obtain an offset for an object. this has already been done to the offsets provided by ironforge. you wont need to know how t do this unless you want to get really deep in meta editing.
