About this addon

What it does

Note from Dec, 2024: Retail's intenvory behaviour has completely changed and needs thorough investigation. This will not happen in the near future.

1 Worthless

Did you ever groan over your jam-packed inventory on one of your adventures, knowing that there are so many more items to come and no merchant is anywhere near? Worthless helps you find the most useless and worthless item of your inventory to either sell or throw away.

The price of stackable items is added up to their combined value.

 

2 Supported Bag Addons

The addon has been tested on Retail and Classic WoW with:

Other bag-related addons most probably won't work out of the box. Just write a comment and I'll see what I can do. Also, when those addons get updates, it can be quite laborious to adapt to those changes.

 

3 Commands

You can use either /wl or /worthless to send commands. If you are using Wowhead Looter, /wl becomes /wls.

 

/wl quality [0-5]

Shortcut: /wl q [0-5]

Sets the quality threshold from Poor (0) to Legendary (5). So with a quality threshold of 2, Worthless will take every item up to a quality of Uncommon (green) into account.

Standard is 0, so only grey items are considered.

/wl [item id or link]

Adds the given item to a blacklist. Most probably you don't want to have your blacksmith hammer being marked as junk. Either search the item id of your item on Wowhead or just shift-click it into your chat frame. Adding the same item a second time removes it from the filter.

/wl clear

Clears the item filter.

/wl bordertype [shine | colour/color]

Switches between an animated icon border and a coloured and static one.

/wl bordercolour/bordercolor [0-255],[0-255],[0-255]

Sets the border colour of worthless items (in RGB notation). You can use a web tool like this one to pick a colour.

/wl onlyfull [true | false]

When set to true only highlights items if your inventory is full.

 

4 Known Bugs/Oddities

These bugs are not urgent and will most likely get fixed in one of the next versions.

  • When setting onlyfull to true, an existing highlight won't go away until you reload.
  • An already highlighted item (in shine mode) will play the flash animation again when bag-related actions happen but the most worthless item does not change.
