ArkInventory
ArkInventory (for The War Within)
:boom: Please ensure you are using the latest alpha version if you have the War Within client.
ArkInventory (for Retail, Classic, and Cataclysm)
ArkInventory's display windows are built from "virtual bars", you assign categories to bars so that items in that category are displayed on the specific bars you want. There is no limit to the number of bars you can have inside a window but obviously you only have so much screen real estate before it becomes "too many".
ArkInventory uses several methods to assign a default category to an item such as what professions you have, tooltip scanning, basic type/subtype and PeriodicTable. You then assign those categories to a virtual bar.
You can also over-ride the default category by creating a rule that matches either a single or multiple items.
Overview:
- user configurable window width and height
- separate keybindings for each location for easy viewing
- assign items to a category of your choice (overrides the default assignment)
- assign categories to the bar of your choice
- unlimited number of bars (there are practical limits though before your screen becomes full)
- sort each bar differently if required
- user configurable bars per row
- sell junk items automatically or manually (delete available via a keybinding or right clicking when at a vendor)
- random pet and mount summons. can also assign a group of them to select from
Key Bindings:
- Press ESCAPE to bring up the blizzard menu
- click on Key Bindings
- scroll down to AddOns > ArkInventory
- bind the keys you want to use

:boom: The NoLib variant
it seems quite a few people are somehow getting the NoLib variant from their download client when they didn't specifically ask for it, instead of the full variant, and its causing issues as they don't have the required libraries installed separately. Please ensure you are downloading the full. if you see nolib in the filename then its the wrong variant, unless you are actually installing all of the required libraries separately as well. If you have to you can manually download the full variant from CurseForge, WoWInterface, or Wago.
:boom: Junk Sell getting blocked
While auto-destroy remains blocked, From 30960 onwards you can setup a Key Binding to manually sell and destroy your items. Note that blizzard require one keypress per item deletion, so if you have multiple items that need to be deleted you will need to press the Key Binding multiple times. A message will be output if you have remaining items that can still be deleted.
:warning: Ensure you have backup copies of your saved variables file
Sometimes you cannot revert back to a previous version without a backup, especially alpha or beta versions, so before upgrading please make sure you have made a backup of your saved variables file
Your saved variables file is normally located at ...\World of Warcraft\_client_\WTF\Account\yourwowaccountname\SavedVariables\ArkInventory.lua
It is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate backups of your saved variables file. You dont have to do them frequently, just after you've made major changes to your config is probably fine for most people, but you should get into the habit of making backups because when it does corrupt you wont have to reconfigure everything from scratch.
If you have your download client set to automatically download alpha/beta versions you should definitely have backups.
A simple way to back up the saved variables file is to just do a copy and paste then rename the new file (using the version number of ArkInventory or the date is a good idea), eg ArkInventory-30900.lua, or ArkInventory-20191228.lua
In Wrath Classic, with the 3.10.19-alpha-5 and the 3.10.20 versions I find my Dungeon and Raid Currency section is being auto collapsed when I log in or reload. If I reinstall 3.10.19-alpha-4, that behavior stops.
Addon no longer works in Wrath after latest update. LUA's have been posted on your GitHub.
holy LUA errors with the newest update today...

How do I get "Cleanup" to put the items at the top? (Retail version)
With latest version (3.10.19) i get stutters when I flight through the last ring of a dragonrace. With 3.10.18 everything is normal so I had to revert to this version again.
Quite a robust inventory addon. Is it possible (in Retail) to show all characters in the Status -> Money tooltip? It's currently separated by faction, which is unfortunate when my main is Alliance but most of my other characters are Horde.
Although I doubt it will help anyone else, the latest WOTLK Classic game client version now has a Lua error interaction with ArkInventory & MerathilisUI (the ElvUI plugin). This Lua error causes ArkInventory's bag window to be blank when opened, says "Loading..." in the top left, but it never loads. Merathilis announced months ago that she was no longer maintaining a Classic version of the MerathilisUI addon, so it was only a matter of time before a breaking change occurred.

In reply to abb1605: See Comment 6235594 by Rappram below for a fix if youre comfortable making a small edit to the LUA files.

WoW Classic (SoD) when opening the character window: WARNING> code issue - function for [HookOpenAllBags:EngravingFrame] was not found - please notify the author so it can be fixed
In reply to Serverfrog: If you're comfortable editing the LUA file I copied the "elseif whoname == "TradeFrame" then" section (line 11025 through 11031) and pasted that right under with the "TradeFrame" replaced with "EngravingFrame" and that got rid of the error for me. If those aren't the right lines for your LUA file it would be named that under the HookOpenAllBags function section.
In reply to Rappram: This worked great, and the line numbers were correct for the most recent version (Nov25).
I'd just like to add this edit is needed in:
ArkInventory > Core > ArkInventory.lua
In reply to Rappram: I'd rather not have the bags open when I open my character screen, and if you're like me just put this in:
elseif whoname == "EngravingFrame" then return
Every time I log in to a character, I get a chat message:
[26/11 18:35:47] ArkInventory: WARNING> duplicate currency name [Honor Points DEPRECATED] [181]
[26/11 18:35:47] ArkInventory: WARNING> duplicate currency name [Древесина] [1723]
[Древесина] [1723] -- "Lumber".
"changed - cosmetic items you already know will now be seen as junk"
All known cosmetic items are junk -- a bad change. I'd rather auction off non-personal for a huge amount of gold than a junk dealer for copper coins.
Bop/boa as junk --ok, but not boe.
I can`t track more than one currency at the bottom of my inventory atm. It tells me you cant track more than 1 but if i disable the addon track everything i want in the blizzard bag and eneble it again it can show me up to 6 with no problem. But i allways have to disable to make changes. Any tipps ? has anyone the same problem ?.
In reply to Night_k1u: I'm running into the same issue. Hadn't even tried to disable the addon to track more, but that's a good temporary tip!
ArkInventory.lua:810 -> "FIX ME when did the currency tab turn up?"
Wrath
That lets me see my currency... You can then remove the Fixme because now you know its in Wrath where the currency tab turned up ;)
