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
My update works, just with a relay. when I open my bag later all is sorted.. or sometimes all is more messed up. it is totally random.
If I add a new item to a bag, it might go in there at once, or not. Random also.
If for example when I add some items to a certain stack in my gbank, when i check my gbank few seconds later, that stack i just put stuff in is unsorted. Just that stack.
SO for example. 2x200 stacks of ore are sorted and the 1 stack with now 120 not.
I've got the open all bags keybind bug also, thought it DOES work when at my bank.
@Tostie I had the sorting issue also, I THINK I fixed it by going to my Ark config, Settings, Styles/Layouts, Default - Bag (check your Gbank option as well based on your post), and make sure New Items is unticked. Not sure why but this messed with my sortings, I thought it was just supposed to be for highlighting.
Thanks,
That did help. Did not do the gbank option, but just disabled new items in default bags. Now it works like a charm.
Same issues, literally cant open bags through the interface keybind or other addons that use ToggleAllBags(), but talking to a vendor lets ark autoopen it, and OpenAllBags() works. Only using override on main bags.
I'm having the exact same issue. I can bind 'b' to arkinventory but then when I'm at the bank I can't open my bags as my bank bags are default UI.
Still a great addon, but it still seems there is a problem with updating. If I refresh items do no go to the right bags straight away.
Rest seems to work perfect. great job
Can I use toys directly from ArkInventory toy box? I'm not able to do that.
no as its a secure action. you can drag them to your action bar and use them from there.
I see, but workarounds seem possible. For example ToyBox addon creates a inventory-like window with toys and you can use them directly from there:
(Great addon though!)
i updated to 3.07.04 and had huge fps Drops (unplayable).
Back on ArkInventory-3.07.03 all is fine.
fps drop while doing?
disable everything but arkinventory and does it still happen?
btw, there is a lag spike at around 20s on the first login and another 4-6 every 5 seconds after that. at least thats what happens on my machine - with no mods loaded at all
I'm seeing the same lag spikes after first login.
Thanks for the bank toggle fix :).
One minor cosmetic issue, Im getting unknown blizzard bag id 12 and 13 messages when I open all bags at the bank. Ive tracked it down to FrameXML\ContainerFrame.lua:1256 looping from 1 to NUM_CONTAINER_FRAMES which is 13, which is strange as there are only 11 visible bags. Blizzards OpenBag() checks GetContainerNumSlots(id) > 0, id 12 and 13 return 0 (I wonder what they are).
Also, searching isnt working right for me. Im seeing if I can track it down myself now.
EDIT: Dumped out the data in Frame_Search_Table_Refresh and found a lot of items and toys with nil names and hyperlinks. Seems there was a GetItemInfo() issue with uncached data. Loaded in the characters with the affected items in the bank and the toybox and it seems to have fixed that. Also, found 2 lines of weird data causing blank lines in search. One is a copper:0 item with a value of 12875g1s that shows a tooltip for that amount. The other is currency:392 honor points with a texture of Interface\Icons\ that produces a green square.
i reported the 13 bank slots to blizzard, presume its a bug or were getting two more slots. i rewrote the code around it to use the normal bag/bank constants instead
copper:0 is an amount of money in your mailbox - i should probably not include those in the search
i also found an issue with the scanning and the item tooltip not being ready, changed the code to rescan the bags later to pick up the data when it is, which will hopefully stop the empty names
Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to have the Reagent Bank and the regular Bank be in separate spots... I'm going to look through the wikia in a second, but I'm pretty bad at looking for data so I figured I'd post this first...
Thank you in advance for your help!
Edit: I looked all over the website and I have no idea if this is a thing that can happen.. x.x
sorry, there isnt, i merged them into the same window.
you can assign the entire reagent bank "bag" into a specific bar if you need them all in one spot.
or you can right click on the reagent bank bag and select isolate, that will hide all the other bank bags, when youre done, right click it again and select display all
Recently its been causing major FPS Drops i go from 120+ fps to 12
Sometimes when you use the cleanup bank/bag function it makes the game dc. It may because they are hotfix the game on the run atm(??). So it's not happening all the time but making it lag more than normal when it sorts.
right click on the restack icon and try changing it to the restack function, it might be a bit better
