Description
When playing World of Warcraft you will accumulate a lot of items. These items you store in you bags, the bank, the guild bank and even keep them traveling between your alts using the in-game mail system. The number of items you have and where you can keep these items makes it sometimes hard to remember, what you have and where you put it. A bit like in real life with your keys.
While playing the game UberInventory keeps track of where you have your items stored as well as how much cash you own, it even tracks the amount of cash attached to mails that you haven't collected yet (this is only done when visiting a mailbox).
When mailing cash and/or items between characters already tracked by UberInventory, UberInventory will also automatically show these items and/or gold as being deposited to the mailbox of that character.
The information that has been collected can be viewed anywhere within the game, so you never need to be at the bank and guild bank to be able to see what is stored there. What is even better if one or more guild members have UberInventory installed as well, you will receive the latest information of what is stored in the guild bank (and guild cash) after they have visited the guild bank.
The data collected is shared between or of your alts.
There are only two restrictions;
- Data is only shared within a specific realm
- Data is only shared within a specific faction
UberInventory comes with a static library of item prices. This pricing information is added to the tooltips (see later section) so you now what any stack of items is worth. Very useful if for the millionth time your bags are completely full and you have a very nice drop and you need to decide what item to remove from your bag. It can be a huge eye-opener to see to a stack of a particular grey item is much more worth a common or sometimes even an uncommon item.
UberInventory also warns you when you have mail that is about to expire (5 days left) on any of your characters. So there is no reason any more for you to loose those valuable items or cash attached to mails sent to you.
Viewing/searching items
The main UberInventory window lets you view the items and cash you and your alts own, as well as items and cash stored in guild banks related to any of your characters.
Filters
To help you browse through all of the items several filtering tools are available. From left to right there are 3 main filters that allow you to filter on Items (location of item, bag, bank, etc.), Quality (Poor, Common, etc.) and Classes (Weapon, Armor, etc.).
Additionally there is a text-box that allows you to do text searches on item names, these text searches are case-insensitive should you don't have to mind the upper and lower cases.Any of these filters can be combined to narrow down your searches. The Reset button removes all of the filters with one easy click.
Cash
At all times you can see the cash you have in your backpack, still got stored in the mailbox, cash owned by your alts or deposited into any of the guild banks tracked by UberInventory.Slots
You can also the number of slots you have free in your bags and at the bank. This could save you some trips to the bank only to discover that you already have filled all of your bank slots.The complete UberInventory window
Searching items (using slash command)
You can also search though the items you own yourself using the slash command from the chat window
/ubi string
So if you would be searching for any items that contain the string ‘ore’, you would give the following slash command
/ubi ore
This would produce the following result (depending on what you own)
Sending/requesting guild bank data
By default UberInventory sends guild bank data to other online guild members when one has visited the guild bank. If necessary you can forcibly send your stored data to online guild members using the following chat command
/ubi sendgb
To update your guild bank data without visiting a guild bank you can use the following command
/ubi requestgb
There are some rules that apply to be able to send guild bank data;
- Need to have visited a guild bank within the current game session
- Need to have at least ‘View Tab’-permission for all guild bank tabs
Tokens
By clicking the Tokens button the Tokens window can be opened and closed. The token window provides an overview of all of the tokens collected by the selected character.Highlighting
Highlighting is a special feature to help you locate your items. When hovering over any item within the UberInventory inventory frame the bag and bag slot (also works for the bank and guild bank) will be highlighted. The following images show UberInventory using the highlight feature turned off and on.

Tooltip information
UberInventory adds information to World of Warcraft’s tooltips providing you with information on how many of the item you have stored in your bags, bank, mailbox and even how many have been deposited into the guild bank. Furthermore it adds the price of the current stack for which the tooltip is shown that you would get for it when selling it to a vendor.
The tooltip in this example informs you that you have 20 Frostweave Bandages and that the alt MysticMidget has 20 as well. When you would sell your 20 bandages scrolls to any vendor you would receive 2 gold 50 silver.
For recipe the following information is added to tooltips when available;
- Which vendor sell the recipe and at what price
- Which mob drops the recipe and what is the drop rate
- From which quest can the recipe be obtained
Minimap icon
UberInventory adds an icon at the border of your mini map that allows you to open and close the main UberInventory window. It also gives you a quick overview of the cash you have stored in your backpack and the number of free slots in your bags and at the bank.
Cleaning up data from deleted characters
Since there is no easy (full proof) way of detecting if a character still exists within the World of Warcraft you will need to give UberInventory a hand in removing data from deleted characters or guild banks that you are no longer part of. Removing data can be done by issuing a slash command (see also section ‘Slash commands’) from the chat window
Deleting data for a character
/ubi remchar name
Deleting data for a guild bank
/ubi remguild name
As soon as you hit the enter key a confirmation dialog will appear asking you if you are sure you want to remove the data. You are not allowed to remove the data of the currently active character, other then that there are no restrictions.
Note: Any filters active in the main frame are reset!
Keybindings
UberInventory provides 2 keybindings to ease of use
- Toggle UberInventory - Open/closes the main UberInventory frame
- Toggle tooltip - Toggles the setting ‘Show tooltip information’ to show/hide the additional information added to item tooltips
Goodies
Resizing inventory frame
Scale UberInventory’s user interface using the chat window (case is important!!). The following example resize the inventory frame to 80% of its original size.
/script UberInventoryFrame:SetScale(0.8);
Number of recipe info lines
The following example limits the number of recipe info lines added to a tooltip to 2 (per type of info, i.e., vendor/mob/quest).
/script UBI_MAX_RECIPE_INFO = 2;
