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 you are having an issue the first step is to disable all other mods and test with only ArkInventory loaded
: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
See ChangeHistory.md for changes to the latest version. See VersionHistory.md for all previous changes.
: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

Posted Aug 7, 2014I've been having an issue lately with some items not being sorted correctly per the rules. Mostly it's been any green quality tradeskill items, which are staying in my general inventory, and not going into "bag" 3 with the rest of the tradeskill items. However, now on my monk, some of his gear isn't going into "bag" 5, with the rest of the gear. Right now he's in DPS spec, and both rings, both trinkets, and shoulders for my healing set are in the main bag, while the rest of his healing gear is in "bag" 5.
Any idea why this is happening, and how I can fix it?

Posted Aug 7, 2014go into edit mode and click on the item thats in the wrong spot, it will say what its assignment is.
if its been assigned to a ssytem category then just click on the default assignment text and it will revert back to default and a rule can then pick it up
if its assigned to another rule then you may need to re-arrange the rule order numbers so the item is picked up by the other rule first

Posted Aug 7, 2014Ahh, sweet, that's it. I created a rule (that I completely forgot about) for uncommon items, but I ended up not even using it. I'll just delete the rule and be set. Thanks for the reply!

Posted Jul 27, 2014just a heads up that i will be uploading beta versions for the warlords expansion soon, so if your curse client is set to download alphas/betas of arkinventory then it might not be a good idea as these versions wont be compatible with the live servers.
i will try to code in an abort if its loaded on a live server if i can.

Posted Jul 3, 2014Thanks for the response. I just edited my comment to reflect the fact that I was looking to see all character including cross faction before I saw your response. As it is right now, I will see all horde while on a horde character and all alliance while on an alliance character on the same realm.

Posted Jul 3, 2014ah ok, i can change it so that the item tooltip options are used for the gold amounts as well, that should give people enough options to be happy with

Posted Jul 4, 2014That would be perfect. I look forward to connected realm support in the future, but this will work fine until that comes.

Posted Jul 3, 2014Is there a way to change this back to the way it use to be so I can see all characters (including cross faction) gold on a realm without switching characters? Also is it possible to show gold across all characters?

Posted Jul 3, 2014its still the same as it was before, the only difference is that if you switch to looking at a toons data from another realm it will show the gold for all toons on that realm instead of your current realm
totals, no, only for each realm
connected realms arent catered for at the moment

Posted Jul 3, 2014no, the whole point of an all in one bag mod is to ignore where an item ends up physically, you just display it where/how you want via the mod.
its not coded to do it because it never seemed useful, and its not about physical locations. i could possibly write the ability to transfer an entire *bars* contents to/from the bank but that means adding a way to click on a bar when youre not in edit mode.

Posted Jun 21, 2014Does anyone know if there is a way to consolidate items into a specific bag in the inventory or bank? I know that I can emtpy a bag, and I can move things between bars. I've currently got a lot of stone in my bank. It's spread between two bags that aren't full. I'd like to fill one bag with stone, and then another with the rest of the stone. Then, to take it a step further and do what I ultimately want to do, I want to move the entire contents of a bag in my bank over to my inventory with a right-click or something vs. right-clicking on every item individually in the bank to move it to my inventory. I don't know if the api allows that or not. Just seems like it would make inventory management a little more convenient if it's possible.
