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

: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
Read about something wrong with Arkinventory being used with ElvUI causing WOW to crash. I have just updated both addons and I am still facing this. Any advices or solution?
The only thing that works for me currently is to load in with just elvui, go into the settings for skins within elv, disable skinning of bags, guild bank, and void storage. You can then turn arkinventory back on.
should be fixed in 3.04.09
Hi again
After my last post I bought a reagent bag and filled it up. ark-inventory saves the content in this specific bag.
I have a problem.
When i logon for any toon and go to "change location" and choose "bank" to see if ark-inventory has saved my bank content its always empty. It looks like it always clear bank content for the current toon at login.
I can see the bank content for any other toon in this way.
So i always have to go to bank and open it so i make sure ark-inventory saves my bank content. If i dont do this the bank content will also be empty when i login another toon.
Setup: i have 2 accounts (not merged), and are running my wow from an external usb HD,so maybe there is problems with "filelinks".
As i have 2 accounts and several realms I heavyly rely on ark-inventory to look on my items for another toons.
might be an issue with he code as the reagent bank updates when youre not at the bank, i may have left it also scanning the bank slots, will check the code
I have a problem when I go to the bank. My Ark Inventory goes off the screen and I have to drag it up a ways. Is there away to make it fit my screen?
Tried it, but it doesn't help (Disabled the two tooltip options for battle pets and the opponent info in the chat). The enemy bar is not shown. When disabling Ark Inventory completely the bar shows up, but I don't want to turn it off just for this one bar ^^
If I use Ark Inventory and PetTracker together there seems to be a problem: The PetTracker bar with the enemy attacks isn't shown infight. When I disable Ark Inventory it is shown. I don't know if it is a Ark Inventory or a PetTracker problem, so I'll post this comment on both pages :p
theres a config option in ai to not use a custom battlepet tooltip (no other mod can see it), so if you disable that then the other mod will probably work, youll just lose the ai data being added
that connection will be in the next release.
Thanks for the quick reply
It is missing the DE-EU Server Krag'jin/Azshara as far as I can tell none of the items on my main (Azshara) are reflected in the tooltips on my banktoon (Krag'jin) - and vise versa also missing: gold information. Maybe a cache issue? As Items are listed under the dedicated search function? But no clue to where or on which character they are.
I also found the condense empty bag option sorry about bugging you with that. And the sorting isn't really needed but I sometimes did put my pvp set in a specific bag or my food/consumabels and just switch bags with my bank... no real issue just a small QoL change, but if there is a possibility to throw errors keep away from it ;-)
connectied realm support is already in (as long as i know which realms are connected)
empty slot reduction was added a couple of versions back but im changing it to allow users to chose to display between 1 and 5 empty slots (not just be forced with one)
i didnt add the item types blizzard use as if youre using ai you shouldnt really care where items end up in the actual bags - for the moment if you really want to change that youll have to switch to the orginal interface to swap it
Hey first of all really great addon I use it now for years and the only addon I can't live without. Keep up the good work (documentation especially ;) )
Any possibilities to add x-realm support? Since I play on a merged realm I use that one to store some goods. Considering blizz will condense the realms even more that would be a nice feature for the future.
Also any eta when we will be able to merge empty space into a single slot with a number on it? my bank has all 28 slot bags plus the new reagent tab I cant fit it on my screen tbh. :)
Furthermore: Any option to lock a bag to equipment for example like it is in vanilla now? One of my least important things I want to ask you but would be nice aswell.
Hey there!
I play on a mac. After the last wow patch I also updated Arkinventory. Now I noticed that it doesn't show anymore if another character has the item or if I have it in my bank. Every item only says: 11 ("Tasche" 11). I play the German game, so "Tasche" means bag. Is that feature gone?
Cheers,
Shyrkina
its still there, check you havent changed the tooltip options to self only, also log into the other toon and check
Hm, I checked the settings and no, only me is not selected. What else could it be? Does it not work on a Mac?
as of today 10 /17/14 ark is not saving offline contents properly.
I'm running 3.04.08 (issue has been there since 3.04.07 i believe), but my empty bags (the bags that are displayed but have no contents) are red-bordered, meaning AI thinks they're an "unknown" bag type. Removing the bags from my bag bar and then placing them back in seems to have fixed the issue, but I think it's gonna come back. I'll post back when it does, but I wanted to let you know.
EDIT: AFAIK, the bags function as normal.
red border just means the api didnt tell me what type of bag they are, happens if the server is a bit slow and usually only when logging into the game, a ui reload will usually fix it for the rest of the session (or moving the bag)
