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
blizzard implemented a script timeout value. any code that runs for more than about 250ms per frame update gets terminated, in combat its about 100ms
ai used to lock up the game for several seconds to do the initial calculations it needed to do, and just under a second for a full bag refresh, now it cant or it the game will kill it
to get around that i have to make sure the code exits if its getting near that timeout value, and then starts up again after the next frame update, thus the "laggy" aspect now.
ok, I can accept the laggy part of it... but what a bout the rest i Wrote? Rules... standard slots of r the above mentions goodies in the bags etc.
Would love a way to sort a specific item.
Example:
I have an item with speed and an item without speed. If I assign it to a category, all instances of that item are assigned to that category.
can deposit but cannot withdraw, no LUA errors.
im using the latest version, tried relog/reloadui
So I've been using the mount function, for this mod, and I love it. One button for the various types of mounts depending where you are. Been looking for something like this for a long while. I do have a question about it though. I've found that if I'm in combat while mounted, the key bind won't dismount me when I press it, I've had to press the button in the game or attack the mob to diss mount.
Is this something I can change, or do I just have to live with manually dismounting in combat?
its always done that but i havent really looked into it yet. its most likely going to come down to the dismount part being in lua and while its run from a macro that lua code is not secure so it probably wont run in combat
actually i can update the macro part (which is secure) so if you are in combat, mounted and not flying it will dismount you, will be in the next release
Search bar is lacking in my opinion. I should be able to put tt("back") in there or even just back to search for cloaks. Don't know why google didn't yield any relevant result on this problem by the way, maybe I just didn't find the option and I'm retarded ?
its a simple instant name search. if you need rule functions to work in there it will need to be completely re-written (and it will slow it down), raise an enhancement request if you want.
bags not scaling properly as of 7.3
in what way? window and item scaling seems to be working ok for me.
Great addon the ability to customize and have things sorted makes it so nice, Thank you for your hard work. Only thing i could think that would make it better is do you have/know of a way to make the iLVL show up over the item like other addons have?
should be in the style area, under items
Can anyone help me with currency on the bottom of the window? I read something about ldb and downloaded some ldb/broker addons, but under the ldb tab in the settings, there is nothing.
Blizzard option to track currency is limited to 3 items (wich is bad)
there isnt much in the way of ldb settings in ai (just some formatting), the majority is via the ldb display itself
i use chocolatebar as my ldb display, that just showed all the ai ldb objects straight away and you just right click on their icons to change their settings
Anyone having issues with the Deposit all Reagents button not working? I'm using an older build as since the changes last month I've found the addon unusable. Now with 7.3 the deposit all reagents doesn't work. I'm wondering if there's a quick fix.
Hi there !
Magnificent addon. I was until recently playing without any bag addon, switched to litebag and really enjoyed the bag merging, and then heard about arkinventory. I love addons like this one and weakauras, which give the users tons of options to customize. Don't care about how much time I spend doing this, can't say it bothers me (I even find it fun).
While looking through the options, however, I did not find anything to display the amount of empty slots inside the empty slot frame (when you only show 1). I've seen this on screenshots of Adibags.
If this feature does not exist yet, I hereby suggest it. If not, I'd appreciate if anyone could tell me where it's located. It's a detail, but it's like an itch I need to scratch, you know how it is :P
Thanks for all the work, definitely the best bag addon out here !
Hi getting this when i first start up.
WARRNING>bag[1][1.2][Bag] type is unknown, queuing for rescan
Not sure what going on there,
Same here. Very annoying. Some of my toons spam this 10-12 times!
the game isnt getting the bag type from blizzard so it has to keep asking until it gets an answer.
i think theres an option to turn that warning off
I've been noticing that my bag keeps restacking/rearranging sometimes. Unsure if due to the bags i'm using, triggering this bug, or if a related issue.
