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
you might want to consider upgrading from 3.07.02 to 3.07.23, i think i might have seen that error at some point and fixed it
how can we sort relics by item lvl and type (fire, arcane, blood, etc)
the sorting should be fairly straight forward, sort by ilvl
grouping them by category not so much, you could create a rule for each type
Any chance you can fix the weird spam when you open banks? Keep getting spammed in chat when going to bank, had this for long.
youll need to provide a little bit more info, as in what text its spitting out?
Asked once before but did not get an answer. It would be awesome to have a hotkey to "show hidden" items toggle. The edit one is nice, but often I hide a lot and then once a week I mail junk around to alts and need to show hiddens on a lot of alts. Perfectly doable with clicking but would be a time saver.
Thanks for the great work.
macro this and see if it works;
/run ArkInventory.ToggleShowHiddenItems( )
Mouse-over an item doesn't show numbers from different character correctly for me. That is. it only show for some characters (mostly max 3 characters). This is from 7.1.5 (or maybe 7.0.5).
Is there something I do wrong?
Btw, I still can't the header of my categories.
Didn't want to see green arrows in my bag and couldn't find the option to disable it so searched it in AI lua code and commented it to get rid of it.
Then came here and read the comments about Pawn and realized that I had the "Show bag upgrade advisor" checked in Pawn which was apparently doing this, AI just didn't show the arrow before 3.07.23.
TL;DR: If you are using Pawn and don't want to see green arrows all over your bag, uncheck "Show bag upgrade advisor" in Pawn Options.
I've been using this for years. I keep coming back to it, because of it's functionality. However, with this new version, the memory usage is incredible, almost to the point of Auctioneer with a large database. Not sure if it's because of the upgrade arrows, but I just opened my bags and my memory went from 130mb to 170mb after mousing over some items. It would be useful to have an "off" switch for the upgrade, instead of making it mandatory. Thanks for all the hard work put into this addon.
its probably because i expanded the rule id to include all the other parts. mousing over an item builds the tooltip and itemcount which is fairly stressfull.
i dont think its the upgrade arrow but ive added an option to disable it
Is there an option to turn off the Pawn upgrade arrow?
turn off pawn? as far as i can tell blizzard arent setting it at all
Yes, but I use Pawn, which is fine by itself. I just don't want big green arrows all through my bags.
You can turn it off in pawn options if you haven't found that already.
hello great addon problem I'm having is that when it sells the greys,it stops on bag 'seams' and I am forced to reopen the merchant to sell the rest
other then that,great addon :)
apparently it is the safe setting,it doesnt recognize ive unchecked it
oops, bug in the logic that works out the limit, ill fix it next version
TYVM for your great work :)
Re-posting this from November as i still cant figure out what i'm doing wrong.
I'm having a issue with the tooltip count for professions recipes (plans/patterns etc).
In my bag/bank etc the tooltip shows the item count but when i'm at the Auction House if i curse over a plan/pattern/schematic etc that i have in my bank/bag it does not show the tooltip count for some reason.
The odd thing is it works fine for enchanting formulas, they show in the Auction House tooltip but no other profession recipes do.
Any ideas why this is? I've been scratching my head for a while trying to work it out but with no luck.
