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
/ai misc alert disable - to remove the warning, it'll still happen though
the (potential) lagspike is because i have to forcibly re-order the framelevels on every single graphical element, it's either that or you wont be able to click on anything.
I'm not sure if I was just using an outdated version, or if Ark doesn't accommodate for the guild banks, but a when the guild bank comes up I am only able to view the first tab correctly, all the other show up empty, and when I view the actual guild bank in game I can see all the pages because I have officer privileges. When I bring up my personal bank, everything comes up fine, but the guild bank doesn't come up correctly, Is there any way to fix this?
I've found that if I choose to hide the blizzard guild bank UI and just use the AI one, it will actually load the contents of the guild bank correctly, whereas if it's set to open up the Blizzard guild bank, it won't update the info for any tab but the first.
blizzards vault api needs some work if it's going to function in a multi tab interface so ive had to restrict the vault to a single tab as well. the current code is still not completely converted back to that so it can get a bit flakey now and then. the next version should be a bit more stable but it still has some side effects (like when you move items between tabs)
Been using Bagnon but found this now and going to recommend it to the Guild :)
Can the placing of the items in the bars be sorted by item level? Or have I just not found the option yet?
Found it d'oh - didn't realise the bag icon top left also had menu options - more coffee b4 posting I guess :)
Yesterday, before the patch, ArkInventory 2.26d was working perfectly for me.
Today, I received the following error message at login:
----------
Error: unexpected symbol near '<eof>'
File: WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME\SavedVariables\ArkInventory.lua
Line: 13455
Count: 1
----------
(I edited the actual account name to "ACCOUNTNAME".)
ArkInventory appears to be working, but it is not reading my saved preferences - it's as if I installed it for the first time. I quit the game, restored my SavedVariables folder (I always back up just before applying a patch), but the error reoccurred when I logged back in.
EDIT: Further testing revealed that the issue I was experiencing was from a corrupted prefs file. I replaced the file with an older backup and ArkInventory is now working fine.
To repeat: ArkInventoy 2.26d appears to be working without a problem in the new WoW Patch 2.4.
Update for 2.4 please
It's 3 days that I started to obtain this error:
Interface\AddOns\ArkInventory\ArkInventory.lua: 4626: AceLocale(ArkInventory): Reverse translation for "Survival" does not exist
I think that I have something in my inventory or bank that cause this error, but I don't know "what" .. and "how" to resolve it
Hello,
great mod!! I have one question - all my rules and categories have disappeared, where are they stored and where have they gone??
Cheers!
Hi Arkayenro,
this addon seems to have all the features i like to have in an inventory addon. thanks for the great work :). But there are two things to mention from my side:
is there a german version of this addon? i mean the text in the menus. it works fine with my german client. but i would like to have it in german for my guildmembers.
the other thing is that the folders of the addon contain svn-folders for the versioncontrol system you use. It would be good, if you remove these when packing the addon. This reduces the download by 50%.
But this are the only two things up to now :) Great addon.

I'm having an issue i see mentioned before but I see no fix for it.
Everything seems to work ok except for the bank and guild bank features, they are in red and have no info. Is there a way to fix this or a similar addon that works?
It seems you need one of these bag addons for the advanced tradeskill addon to work properly. So finding one that works would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.
ArkInventory seems to capture my incoming mail, and fails to display it.
Everytime I check the mailbox (the icon for unread mail shows next to the minimap), there's nothing there, but when I disable AI and log back in, everything works fine again.
This bug is VERY annoying, and if it's not sorted out pretty soon, I guess I'll just have to find another all-in-one-bag addon, even though I've been using AI for some time now and have gotten to like it. =(
Every time I open my bags I get: "Alert! Bug fix complete. The FrameLevel for the Bag window is currently at 129 and has been reset to 2 to ensure that it remains functional. Sorry for the lag spike caused by the fix."
I have seen it as high as 131. How do I fix this please?
ArkInventory v2.26D
Thanks for your time
Nice addon, but this needs the option to copy your rules over to the bank as well, so that you can have your bank sorted exactly the same way as your inventory without having to redo all the rules.
I *love* the new option to name your bars!!!
There seems to be a minor display bug with some combination of the names, edit mode, and empty bars when "Bars -> Show empty" is not enabled. The basic setup where I'm seeing the problem is 5 bars across: 5 4 3 2 1. Bars 5,4,1 have names and are full, bars 3,2 are unnamed and empty. When "show empty" is not enabled, the names above 5 and 4 slide to the right over 3 and 2. You can see it happening when you go into edit mode. Then when you exit edit mode the empty bars and their (wrong) labels disappear, leaving 5 and 4 without labels. Closing and reopening the bags fixes it, and also everything works great with "show empty" enabled.
I really love this addon, but for some reason it will not let me see my bank at all XD
It will have my character's name in red as if they are off line, but they aren't, and it doesn't really show anything in my bank.
awesome addon.
i have a little problem tho, I've accidentally assigned an item to the wrong rule..how can I cancel that assignment? can someone helps please. thank you
Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it/ the cause for it?
I can't adjust padding/scale etc.
I click on the Green backpack menu, mouse over the options until I get to Window which opens up another menu with Hide Frames, Anchor Point, Padding etc... When I mouse over Padding the adjustment menu pops up but every time I mouse over to adjust it, it disappears.
I have tried moving my window in case anything was interfering with it but nothing yet.
Please let me know if anyone knows how to fix this. thanks!
Yes, I have the same problem.
Open the green bag menu, go to the "window" flyout, go to the "scale" flyout. The frame displaying the scale slider appears. Try to move the mouse pointer into the frame, no problem. Try to move the mouse pointer into the slider itself, or the text box to type in a new number, and the entire menu system disappears.
Another symptom: when I do mouse over the scale flyout and get the scaling frame to display, but then keep moving my mouse down the parent (window) frame through other options such as padding, width, etc, the frame for the scale slider remains in place and the others do not appear.
