One of the few plugins that I miss from World of WarCraft is ArkInventory.  And although due to Lua constrictions we don’t have a plugin that can match that utilities functions, Hugebag is definitely a step in the right direction.

Hugebag is an inventory replacement addon that will merge all your bags into one large bag that also adds a range of functionality:

  • Sorts your bags (utilizing the previously reviewed SortPack plugin)
  • Merges like items into one stack.
  • Will let you search for items by name
  • Has 2 modes, widget and window
  • Allows you to view only certain item types in your inventory (potions, cosmetics, etc.)

This week we take a look at Gambit Helper from Zanttux.  This plugin is something that I have definitely been in need of for a while.  Although I have covered Warden plugins before I found myself needing something a bit more extensive.

Now that I’m back on my Warden and leveling him I find that I have (surprise, surprise) forgotten most of his gambits and what they do.  This plugin solves that issue by putting a list of all of your character’s available gambits and putting them in a list on the screen and organizes them by their category.  So far those categories are:

Today we take a look at several of the LUA plugins that have been written by Beta Players during the Free-to-Play testing period. The two that we have featured in this episode are:

  1. Plugin Manager which, once loaded will load and unload installed plugins through an interface instead of requiring you to use chat commands.
  2. Hunter Travel Window which creates a separate window for all of your travel abilities (which despite the name works for all classes) freeing up your bar space and general UI clutter.
