What mods do you use?

[Mordekhuul]

So I tried to find a replacement for Baggins, as Baggins isn't quite the addon it used to be (buggy here and there, a bit awkward to use in ways I'm a little tired of, and the search anywhere module for it was never updated for wrath) and I settled on ArkInventory as the primary option.

I put it in place, and I'm pretty sold. ArkInventory is fast, has an excellent UI, lets you have any number of virtual bags and a very easy to use interface for assigning which categories go into each bag, including creating custom rules, new categories, and easily right clicking items to change what category they are in.

Click on this image for a full screen shot of my UI with the personal bags window open (right side) and the search UI up (left side, a window that comes up anytime you click the magnifying glass icon at the top of your bags):

There are a lot of layouts you can use, from what I saw on their curse gaming download page.

For mine, so far, I set up my bags (and my bank) to have the 6 virtual bags shown. All of my uncut gems go into one, something easily set up as Ark already has a "gems" category that all gems (cut and uncut) fall into that I just had to assign to bag #2.

I wanted my cut gems to go into a separate bag, since I keep around 300 or so auctions running at all times and wanted to easily find the 40 different gems I just cut so I can post them, so I created a new category called "Cut" and right clicked each type of gem as I cut them to assign them to the "Cut" category instead of the default "Gem" category. I assigned "Cut" items to go into bag 3.

Bag 4 is another custom category, Tank, where all of my tank gear goes. Bag 5 holds my ret DPS gear. Bag 6 holds my heal gear.

Anyway, I'm excited to replace baggins finally, so thought I'd share a bit.

EDIT - I forgot to mention that AI does a lot of the things I was previously relying on altoholic for as well. It knows what items are on all of my other toons, in their banks, in their mailoxes, and in their guild banks.

It puts in the tooltip when I hover over an item how many I have total including bags, bank and mailbox, and also shows in the tooltip how many of that item any of my other toons or the guild bank has.

The search window I show in my screenshot is also cross-toon.

Further, one of the nifty things you can do from any of the AI windows is tell it to swap over and show you another toon's items, so I can be logged onto my paladin and swap over to show my warlock's bags instead, in the normal bag window (or bank, or mail, or whatever).
