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
How do I read the log file for each of the tabs on the guild vault?
I went to the webpage and seen that the logs are not going to be part of this addin...
I love this addon, Thank you for all the hard work.
i have the same problem as ronh3 and i also would like to know how i can resize the bag?
menu > window > scale
sry if this sounds stupid, how do i open the menu, i cant find this option in the slash commands nor anywhere else
click on the big green bag icon (to bring up the menu)
Hey Ark, fantastic mod, been using it for a few patches now. Had a question that always bugged me. It seems like I can only have one set of edit mode columns per account. For instance, I have five categories on my hunter, consumables (pots, food), gear (soulbound gears) quest and rep (quest and rep items), leatherworking (leather and lw mats) and my misc. section, which is the main bag on the right. Now, if I log my mage, I have the same categories set up as default. No problem. I change his stuff over (typically just the leatherworking sorts) log, and log in my hunter. when I log my hunter, his AI has been set to my hunter's settings.
Is there any way to make it not do that?
Five stars btw, fantastic mod.
use a different profile, it's the standard ace profiles - you just pick (or create) another one (chacrater, class, etc, etc) and use that so that they're isolated from each other.
Doh, leave it to me to be a tard. Thanks Ark.
arkinventory does only save guildbank bag one and four.. not two and three...
do you have access to tabs 2 and 3? if you dont then they cant be scanned
some with access are not scanned some are scanned... seems to be buged... (german client)
and some people ask me if you could add more sort options.. for example:
weapon, leather armor, plate armor, etc...
Since 2.4 was released AI hasn't worked for me. I open my bags and its classic multi-bag style...anyone else having that problem?
Umm is that Lag spike thing ever gonna get fixed, when it has to reset. don't mean to be a pest but its getting annoying i disabled the announcement it makes but it still annoying and i was wondering if i should look for another bag inventory. i like the look of Arkinventory but its the lag thats getting on my nerves.
it's a blizzard bug, so it's going to get fixed when they get around to it
Im having trouble with the update. I click on a banker and for some reason, my inventory bags open up but not the actual bank bags themselves. I can click on the bank bag and then it brings it up but it doesn't refresh instantly when I deposit somehting in it. Also when I have a banker up, my inventory bags can't be moved. I try to move them but they are forced on a spot.
Please help!
The new update destroyed a lot of the default sorting categories. Almost everything in my bag that was using a default sorting is now changed to "Unknown", so now I have to go in and manually set each category again...
What's going on?
the changes text got cut off when i uploaded it here, it's missing this line
* added - unknown category (for when you dont have item data cached), moving an item to another slot or clicking on menu > actions > reload should update the data from the server
I just had that same problem, then I right clicked an item when I was in edit mode, went to the create new rule and created one, and added an item to the new rule. Instantly after that, everything unknown was corrected and sorted like before, see if that works for you, too.
it only seemed to work in my bag and bank, though, guild bank still shows as unknown
actions > reload
or do a /reloadui once your fully loaded up the first time
first loads are always problematic as your client doesnt have all the data (not really sure why not) and needs to query the server for it
I have the same problem as a previous poster:
Quote:
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 like this add-on, but the constant lag spikes are going to make me give it up.
