Inventory
Use the Inventory page to display a snapshot listing of your character's gear and the contents of personal inventory, bank, shared bank, house vault, wardrobe, mounts, familiars and house items for up to 9 houses, player-made dungeons and guild hall. You can do a keyword search to find an item, get an Internet link or an in-game link, and run a printable report of all items owned on a specific date.
Ways to view inventory
To view all of a character's various inventories in the utility, you need to create an inventory log and housing layouts. If you have not created these files, you can still see certain items by selecting the Census option button. Invoking the Daybreak census server allows you to see current data for:
The following inventories are not populated by Census, and require an inventory log or housing layout:
* Wardrobe results are always retrieved from Census, even when the Census option is deselected.
Choose your character from the dropdown to load the inventory. Available inventory logs and housing layouts for this character will be collected and then overlaid with current server data when the Census option is active. Amendments from Census are displayed with a green background.
HousingWhen you load a character with the Census option selected, icons for all owned properties (housing and dungeons but not guild halls) will be reported in the Housing slots, whether or not there is an item layout available.
When you load a character without Census, only houses, dungeons and guild halls for which you have properly named saved layouts will appear. House layouts that were not properly named but are owned by your character will be discovered and reported when Census is selected.
Housing icons with green backgrounds only verify the property's name and address from Census. The contents of houses are only reported from housing layout files that you generate. Hover your mouse pointer over the icon to view file name, creation date, etc.
Creating logs
To view a snapshot listing of your character's inventories in the utility, you need to create an inventory log in-game. To view house item listings, you need a housing layout. If you only want to track inventory, you don't have to create a housing layout, and vice-versa.
Inventory logFrom the Inventory tab on the Character window, press the EQ2Inventory button and allow the UI to write the special log file.
Housing layoutSave a layout from the Housing window (click the door or type /house) inside your character's house, guild hall or player-made dungeon. When choosing a name for the layout, include the character's name and server. The layout name can contain other words, but character name and server name must both be present and separated by underscores or parentheses. Any of these examples will work:
The utility will display all house items, including "crate" for anything packed in the moving crate. If you create a housing layout that is not named like the examples, the layout will still be discovered and searchable if the Census option is active.
Using Inventory
Character listCharacters with the same name on different servers can maintain separate inventory logs and housing layouts, and they can be enumerated separately from Census. So by default all of your characters, whether or not they are hidden in Quick Setup, will appear in the dropdown character list. If you prefer to list only characters that are visible in Quick Setup, uncheck the box on the Settings page in the Inventory category.
Choose your character from the dropdown list to display the various inventories. The log date will appear at the top of the display. Click an equipment slot or bag to display the contents in the results pane. Click the character image to show a listing of all gear and appearance gear. Click the Wardrobe, mount or Familiar icon to display the contents of that collection. Click the Ammo slot to display the contents of the Ammo container.
Results gridYou can right-click a line in the results pane to link to the EQ2U website for expanded information about the item. If you click In-game link, the item will be loaded onto the Windows Clipboard. To use the link, click the input line in your chat window and press [Ctrl-V].
SearchUse the search box to find an item. When you press [Enter] or click the Search button, all containers with an item that matches the search will highlight. Click any highlighted container to display the matches. Click [X] in the search box to clear the search results.
If you want to search other characters for the same item quickly, leave the search terms in the search box and choose another character from the dropdown. The search will run automatically after the new character inventory is loaded.
To delete an unwanted inventory file, load the inventory and press the [X] next to the dropdown box.
A note about paired equipment slots Because of the way the /finditem command generates log files, there is no way to distinguish between left- and right-side charms, earrings, rings and bracelets. When not using the Census option to view current equipment data, you may find that the left and right side items are swapped. Or if your character is wearing two identical rings for example, the program may report only one of them.
Paperdoll image notes
Character images displayed by DarqUI Inventory reside in the \screenshots folder. The game only maintains one image per name in this folder regardless of whether you have characters of the same name on different servers. By default if you have multiple characters with the same name, the utility automatically refreshes the paperdoll image from Census each time you load that character's inventory.
If you do not care about the accuracy of the paperdoll image for duplicate characters, you can turn off this setting to speed up display of the inventory. On the Settings page of the utility in the Inventory category, uncheck the box for Always refresh paperdoll images for characters with duplicate names.
Characters with unique names are not affected by this setting and will always use the image from \screenshots. To force a refresh of any paperdoll, right-click the image in the Inventory view and click Reload image.
