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
from the ldb icon (if you have that installed)
or
from the mount windows main icon (top left) menu
mount > flying > dismount in flight
yes, currently its off the bag icon.
next version will have a right click menu off the cleanup icon to deposit reagents for people that dont have the changer window open all the time
Is it possible to add something to an item to keep it from being added to the reagent bank? 90% of my crafting reagents I want deposited.. but I have a few I want to keep in my bags for quest turn-ins.
all you can do is flag one of the bags as disable cleanup then put the items you want to keep in that bag
btw, you can craft with items from the bank, can you hand in quests the same way?
I don't believe you can hand in quests from bank/reagent bank. I was actually coming to find where the deposit to reagents button is, though. Am I correct to assume you open the bank and hit the clean up button on your bags?
in the config, disable cleanup (its on the first page)
Is there anyway to make cleanup behave the way it used to? I don't want it moving my bag around, just fixing the stacks of things.
I've had a pretty specific way of laying out the items in my bag and bank for years, now, but every time I hit cleanup it just sorts the crap how it wants.
Cheers for the reply. Will have a look at it when I get online laters.
Hey Ark. Have a question again about the sorting in the bags. This is regarding the "main" grouping if that's what you call it. If you look at the linked screenshot of my bag, the sorting at the bottom right seems a bit random. Can I make it so it sorts "fully" rather than on the screenshot where there are empty slots between items?
refresh, see if it updates, if it doesnt then go into edit mode and check what sorting method has been apllied to that bar, you may have accidentally changed it to bag/slot over-riding the window default
Thank you very much for your (quick !) answer.
But the cleanup function (which I called "sorting function") does not work (it seems like items in reagent bank and items in casual bank are independents).
I'll clean up my self for a while ;)
Thank you again.
Hi,
1/ Sorry for my bad english, I'm french.
2/ Thank you SO MUCH for your addon, I use it since 2009 and I think I would stop Wow if I had to loose it.
3/ However, I have a problem for the first time, with the reagent bank.
When I put something in my bank, the sorting is fine, except for the reagent bag : the items do not stack properly . They stay in two different slots, even when I use the sorting fonction. It works fine with all the other bags except this one.
So, if I split a stack of reagents IN the reagent bag, and use the sorting fonction, it works and the two slots stack.
If I split a stack of reagent and put one half in the reagent bag and one half in an other, and use the sorting fonction, they don't stack.
So, when I put a reagent in my bank, it goes in a normal bag, and does not stack with the reagent in the reagent bag.
I hope I'm clear... Do you have any idea ?
Thank you very much in advance.
there is currently no way that i can find to tell the game that you have the reagent bank opened (not without actually showing the window) so i when you right click on items in your bag they go into your bank - not the reagent bank.
the closest you can do at the moment is to use the cleanup function and if you have items you dont want moved place tehm into a specific bag and set that bag to ignored by cleanup
I for one would not mind having the Reagent Bank be it's own window and have a Deposit All Reagents button like the default UI. Maybe have it be a tabbed window of the main ArkInventory UI or simply open up Bank window and Reagent Bank window when you access a banker. It could also be a toggle from an icon in the upper right corner that switches back and forth between Bank and Reagent Bank.
ATM I turn off the override to deposit and then turn it back on afterwards.
as i said, theres no way that i can find that allows me to tell the game that you have the reagent bank tab opened without actually openeing the blizzard reagent bank window - it doesnt matter how i display the reagent bank that problem will always be there
if you right click oni the reagent tab "bag" the deposit reagents option is in there, as is an option to do that as part of cleanup
I had not seen that before. Knowing now what I didn't know then, I now know that it's working as I want it to. Thanks Ark. I've been with you on this mod since you introduced it years ago and I've never turned away for something else. Best bag mod on the market! Thanks for keeping on keepin' on.
Hello,
It seems after WOD launch, the item age has disappeared. Any way to get this to come back? I didn't realize how much I loved it until it was gone!
Thanks.
I really like the concept behind this addon, but I'm having some troubles. Many items that are classified as one thing are inexplicably going into a different slot. For example, I have most of my gear in area #5 under System > Equippable items (soulbound). Makes sense. But for no apparent reason, I have a couple of weapons that go into #4 (where my consumables are). Very obnoxious. Even worse, my Garrison Hearth keeps going to bag slot 1. I had both under the default System > Soulbound and it was seperating them, so I changed them both to a custom one, Custom > Teleport. Still does the same thing.
Help!
Thanks
go into edit mode and check where its being assigned, usually theres a rule thats picking them up (although a customer category should override a rule so not sure about that one)
This is happening to me also. It seems the last update, has caused the issue. When I click on the items (Heartstones or fish, or whatever) They have the correct Rules assigned to them and the Bar items have the correct Rules assigned as before, it just isn't doing it correctly. I have a "Fishing" bar, that contains all my fishing equipment. All of a sudden this morning, some fish are showing up in another bar. I have tried the Cleanup and Refresh, even clearing the cache, nothing worked.
