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
i've always loved this addon so when i started playing again i re-downloaded this as well.
something is a bit off though i've noticed that it takes 2-5 sec to load items and instant sorting is lagged by a couple of seconds.
don't recall it ever lagging more than 1/2 a second. if that isn't normal it could be the bug i've been having on rare occasions while accessing inventory something else gets triggered. 1st time i noticed this i was in class hall planning to sell trash and instantly ported to hillsbrad as a NE demon hunter i've never been there. only thing i have that might have ported me there was a engineering toy in collections i think wormhole generator maybe. 2nd time i was in stormwind bank and my warglaves ui opened up without ever opening character window.
In reply to darkraven483:
Hi Arkayenro,
I m getting an error message regarding a rule that i ve set when i login (didn't had it last week).
The rule that i ve set is for sorting items that belong to any of my current sets on all my characters.
My rule is: outfit( "impie", "givre", "sang", "vindicte", "sacré", "protection" )
And here is the error message:
In english the orange portion of the text says "WARNING>rule 1001 is tagged as damaged and won't be used anymore until being repaired".
I don't get where this error comes from. I ve typed my rule the exact same way than in the RuleFunction_Outfit guide and it worked well during previous weeks. If i look at the error message it says that it's looking for a number instead of a string but ain't i supposed to use the name of the outfit as set in my equipment manager?
Best regards.
in the blizzard equipment manager do you have a set that has no name?
the code is trying to insert the set name into the end of the table but its possibly empty (although it would always be a string so not exactly sure why its having an issue unless blizzard did something funky to their code)
any outfit based rule you create should barf in exactly the same way
i'll try changing the code from blizzards tinsert function to the base table.insert from Lua and see if that helps
there will be an r780-alpha version you can try to see if that fixes it or not
In reply to Arkayenro:
All my sets are named. I just download the r781-alpha version and the issue is still the same unfortunately. As said before this is kind of weird as far as i didn't had this issue last week.
Also i just noticed another warning message regarding my bags (for info i have 2 "Silkweave Satchel" and 2 "Deep Sea Bag").
unknown bag type should be temporary, the message should stop after the game has cached the bag type
if you change your rule to just outfit( "impie", "protection" ) does it still have an issue? ie try taking out the set names one at a time and see if it ends up working or not
In reply to Arkayenro:
I'm not sure which addon is causing this but I thought I'd put this here just in case it was Arkinventory. I'm also getting this strange lag in my interface when I open Arkinventory and I'm wondering if this has something to do with it. The last time I got this error it just kept making tooltips that kept stacking on one another until I moused over something else.
I'll be posting this error on the other addon sites as well. These are fairly popular add-ons so I would hope they can work together :)

Need help almost 100% happy one thing how do i get like weapon and feet down next to hands. I used move but it did'nt work. Also under the unsorted category how do i get it to fill and not have all those empty spaces.
In reply to S4BRE:
Find the Designs (Styles / Layouts) you use, then under Bars, assign more Bars (Per Row), default is 5, move that up to what ever number you need)
Yo. First off. Amazing Job with the addon.
Second.
I don't seem to see anyway to sort out my Azerite gear from the rest of my gear. I tried writing a rule for it but it doesn't seem to work.
type( "armor" ) and subtype( "helm","shoulders","chest" )
In reply to Arkayenro:
Does anybody know what's the reason for the frames being tainted and unusable, when the bag window is first opened while in combat?
because the frames arent secure, if you clicked on them to use something it would barf
Cannot create custom category. Only running ArkInventory and Swatter (debug tool).

Hey
After last update my fps are falling from 140 to 10 only when I move mouse cursor on items - then tooltip shows and fps are falling.
But this happens only once maybe twice for each login session for example if I move cursor on Lean Shank for the first time after login , then my fps are falling but if I move cursor second time on it then nothing happend.
that would be "normal" as it has to work out the item count and tooltip info, then its cached
