Tutorial 3: Viewing items in the console
Step 1
Install the Possessions addon into your World of Warcraft installation.
Step 2
The very first time you install the addon, log into all your characters and check your storage, so that all items in bags, bank and mail are scanned. Items are saved to data files on logging out.
After this first time, item information is updated incrementally. So, it is not necessary to check all your storage and relog every time, if you know nothing has changed on a character.
Step 3
Download, unzip and open a Command Prompt where ledger.exe is located.
The console is selected by using an output file named -
, i.e. using command
line option -o -
. Optionally, provide a path argument for the location of
the World of Warcraft folder:
If no path argument is provided on the command line, the program will ask for a World of Warcraft folder before continuing.
The default View is a Character View and the default format at the console is TSV (Tab-Separated Value). So, the result of the command above would be something like this:
