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

:memo: If the issue is still there, please check for an existing issue and create a new issue if required.
:memo: If the issue is gone, re-enable your other mods one by one until the issue comes back, then note the last mod you enabled in your issue as well as notifying the author of the other mod

: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
Hello once again. Is there a way to workaround "out of date"? Or do I just have to wait for an updates? Thank you.

Hello. I love this Addon. I think it's the best inventory addon for WOW. The problem I am having is this updated version. My ArkInventory is now broken. Does anyone having the same problem? Or have a work around? Thank you
Just wanted to say thanks to this awesome addon. I've been an engbag user in the past, switched to Tbags for a certain time and finally came across this mod.
It's one of the rare bag-addons, that works quite good with the german client.. And "if" there are some items, which won't be automatically recognised - you can easily choose the area where it belongs to.
Whislist / One things I'm missing: - Is there a way to print a little *NEW* over the last 5 (or so) picked up or generated items? (engbags did this.. and it was quite helpful when pickung up green items for example and relocating them in the inventory).
So thanks again for this great work! Hoping you'll keep it up a long time. Cheers.
EDIT: The latest Beta brakes it up for me, too. Gone back to the latest "official" release - which worked and still works fine for me (although I had to redo my settings now).
Hi, i tryed v1.31 beta 2007-02-01-18-50 on a german client, it shows no bags, no Inv. after deleting the wtf/lua i get a error in the name field.
@edit:seems that every beta version from Curse makes the same errors, the Version from the ace-beta sektion works...
I love this mod but there are a few problems with it that are really starting to get annoying.
1. When i try to pick one thing up in my bag, it picks up something completely different.
2. Sometimes when i try to prospect a certain ore, it gives me the "there are no gems in this" message, which probably means its also trying to prospect something in a different slot.
3. With other mods, they sort same items so that they are together in the window, like all your runecloth would be grouped in one place, is there any way that this could be added to this mod as well?
I like it I just started organizing my bags appropriately. However it'd be nice if I could move around bags I've already defined (in the mod). Such as a swap option to swap the locations of two bars. Insert and remove is a bit cumbersome for more complex situations like "i want the contents of bag 2 to be up at bag 12".
Wow! This must be the best inventory handler I've seen yet! Great work on developing this... thanks :D
Basically, some other mod is really making arkinv's day short, any ideas? :)
Hmmm i like this addon, but :
Is there no way of changing opacity, bacsize and ArkInventorywindow size ??
The unbareable loading times when looting monsters, selling/byying items...is this something thats being looked at ??
Im seriously thinking of going back to ONBAG ect. just because of loading times...the game freezes for about 1 sec every time !! Just think about mining, first aid or any other skill that recuires inventory space...
I've used many bag mods and this is by far the best ! Amazing work.
Any chance you could integrate a MrPlow type feature ? That would complete this mod to almost perfection.
Thanks in advance.
Whenever i go to an INN and try to talk to the Barkeeper (in order to change HS location) i get transfered to the buying window. Can i change this? (I have turned off the AUTO OPEN OPTION)
I have also noticed an almost unbearable slowness when getting things out of or putting things into the bank. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that it's reloading the bag every time you move something into the bank to display it in the right spot. I used another mod for a while that's very similar to this one (engInventory/engBags) which didn't reload the bag on the fly (it had an option to reload the bag if you wanted to show things in their designated spaces, otherwise it left the opened spots blank or put the new items in the "empty slot" section) that didn't have the same problem. Maybe a clue to the cause?
Is there a way to force certain categories into certain bags? IE, soulshards to soulshard bag, herbs to herbalism bag, etc? Right now my "special" bags have empty slots, but I don't know which items in ArkInv are being stored in that bag and which aren't. Thanks again for an awesome mod!
Omg i love this i was looking threugh the bag mods and found this i love it
i love this thing, but when i click on items in my bag it lags a little to pick it up, its worse when moving things in and out of my bank, can i fix this somehow?
Hi all
I will no longer be posting to the arkinventory fans update project due to the amount of changes ark has done in his beta it is impossible for me to find the time to implement the changes i did again and again.
Ark maybe a tip for you (The things i had in mind was working on 1 & 3)
1) Make the project more Object oriented using AceOO 2) Add a plugin to for example mr.plow or implement stacking 3) Make the background(s) texturisable (tga)
btw add close to all menus in the addon (still find it hard to work in edit mode when i changed a frame could open other etc...
Kind regards
I haven't really used this mod alot atm, but as far as I've noticed there doesn't seem to be any "new" indicator, could you add it for items that you just looted? So I know where it went, since I use the auto loot option I don't really see what I loot.
An option to colour the background of bars independently from each other, would be nice.
and last, just a visual option but not really useful in any way, would be the ability to dock groups either to center, left or right, atm all of them dock to the right.
Anyway, great work so far, keep it up!
