Inventory App Recommendations?Follow

With 8 chars and the expanded bank from PoR completely filled with bags, I'm not able to tell what's junk, vendor fodder, worth keeping, and whatnot. Can anyone suggest a good application that'll read all the inventory of my chars and record it all to a spreadsheet or put it in a format that can import to a spreadsheet? I know there's the Item Collector, and Magelo provides some utility, but does anyone have a favourite they'd recommend?

Thanks Much,

I've done that before and I find it's better to just open each bag in the bazaar, do a search for anything droppable in that bag to find what's valuable, next look up anything else to see if it's for a useful quest, and then dump the rest.

Edit: By the way I'm advocating the slow and steady method of just doing it by hand.

also dont forget to see if some of the stuff is tributable. Some items have a higher tribute value than sale vale.

How about you stop putting stuff in your bags you don't know the use of?

If I do not know what an item is used for, whether tradable or nodrop. I keep it and figure it out later. Especially when an expansion just comes out and it may take weeks for items for quest and new tradeskills to make it to the web. I have gotten a lot of plat that way and a step up on a couple of quests as well.

Personally, I use the Profile Collector on Alla (when the GD thing works correctly!!). While the online Characters lists stuff which your toon has on them, if you use the collector to generate the HTML file to your hard drive, it lists not only the carried stuff, but also everything in their personal bank and shared bank! It's then a matter of looking through only 8 files, and since they are HTML, if an item is in the Alla d-base, it appears as a link. Poof, browser window open to reveal that the no-drop goodie you have been saving since Kunark is yet another broken quest item, usable only by Gnome Monks.

This is an old post but I recently returned to the game after a 2 year hiatus and was trying to recall the name of the app I used before. I found it and returned here to share it.

ItemDataManage is the name of the tool and it is very useful.

The zipfile comes with a pdf that explains how it works and the program author gives examples to the output html files it generates.

I hope this is helpful to someone.

ElAumar, your intent was good. To avoid getting rated down by the folk here that really have a thing against necroposts you should start a new thread with your topic and then put the link to the old thread you are referencing in it.

I rated you back up, but can't promise that's enough to sway you from getting further rate downs.
