My quiver is on the far left of my bag bar, and yes i believer there are mods out there specifically for naming your bags.

This is one of the reasons Advanced Bags Plus (http://wow.curse-gaming.com/en/files/details/5305/advanced-bags-plus-2-0/) makes my list of Addons I Can't Live Without. The ability to order items in any way I want is invaluable. Currently, I have them divided into Equipment, Quest Items, Food/Drinks/Pots, Tailoring, Skins, Soulbound, and Soul Shards. I've got even more when my bank's open, including ones for my pvp marks and gems.

Stupid idea. I don't have enough of one type of items to fill 18 slot bags. So what would happen is a quest item bag ( for example) would end up with pots and then some other items, and it would all go down hill. I keep some semblence of segretation to my bags now with stuff I carry around all the time in bag 0. When I was raiding pots went in bag 1. Mats go in 2, sometimes. But it is so dynamic that naming bags just wouldn't work for me.

Some addons like Baggins sort the stuff for you when you open your bags ans this is sufficient, IMO.

My shard bag and quiver are leftmost for my lock and hunter, respectively. I use macros to open bags so I don't open them when I don't need to see those contents.

Don't be so afraid of addons. They're not the Devil's Juice.

ArkInventory does this nicely now. Great Add-On

I love this idea.

I am a sorter at heart and I am regularly reshuffling my loot.

I would love to know which bag I had my food in rather than opening 3 bags to find it.

I use vBagnon to consolidate all my bags into one giant bag. Some people don't like this system, but I find it much better than trying to remember which bag is which. Plus, vBagnon gives you several item categories which you can mouse over to highlight items of that category.

There are a number of inventory management addons that will allow you to name your bags or consolidate them or sort them or almost anything you can think of. Bliz has a finite number of man-hours in a week to devote to game coding. I think they've been very wise in spending those hours fixing bugs and adding new content rather than adding numerous features that 1. may or may not be desirable to many players and 2. are readily available from 3rd party mod developers for free.

i think "big blue sack" is a perfectly acceptable name for a bag.

i also got a laugh when i filled it with soul shards and necrosis said "your big blue sack is full!"
good to know, necrosis, good to know

I like tBag myself.

Give me tBag, EquipCompare and a coordinate add-on and I'm happy. (used to like GoGoMount but it's not needed anymore)

I learned about TBag (The "t" stands for "total" *nods*) from a WoWinsider Addon spotlight. It's one big bag but it organizes the way you see your stuff - it clusters things together. It's very customizable... I didn't have any problem convincing it that my Pet Rock was a non-combat pet and not vendor trash. *giggles*

My actual bags are a giant mess now... but if I resist the urge to look at them individually it's all good.

p.s. Item Rack will help you manage your trinkets - really easy too.

They already make a mod that does this, its called SanityBags.

Its still in Beta, so its a little buggy, but with more people using it and giving feedback, maybe it can get some more loving.

I've been using Advanced Bags Plus for as long as I can remember (that doesn't say a whole lot about my memory, does it), and if I could only use one addon, it would be ABP.

It kinda sets up "virtual" bags that can be any size, and you determine what is displayed in them. It's really easy to have a bag that ONLY shows all your Herbs, or a bag that contains all your quest items, or one that has all your non-soulbound engineering gear, or whatever.

You can name your bags whatever you want, and even better: you can customize their icons. And you can have as many bags as you want (since they're virtual). It doesn't mess with your original bags at all.

I'd like to get a decent bag mod, but there are so god damned many of them. Do they all basically do the same thing? Anybody have experience with using multiple mods that can recommend one over the others?

Personally, I think they should give you a free "virtual bag" for all the quest items you have to drag around. Why should I have to waste my bag slots for the umpteen items that NPCs want me to gather and bring them.

If not, then they could at least make them all stack in one slot. Yep would have made some of the quests easier. "Bring me 15 of this," says lazy NPC. Only to find the stupid thing only stacks in 10s.

Ace addon Baggins will automagically organize all your stuff by predfiend, but tweakable, categories.

Got to be TBag, especially if you fix the TBank.xml so that it handles cool down items in your bank properly.

I wholeheartedly recommend Baggins. It's not perfect (the configuration UI sometimes freezes unexpectedly and requires a /reloadui) but it's really, really good. It lets you create rule-based "virtual bags." For example, I have a "goods" bag that contains my herbs, leather and fish, all sorted by category and stacked. Meaning if I've got sixty of one type of fish, I only see one little icon with the number "60" on it, instead of three stacks.

I don't use it as a replacement for my default bag interface, but as an adjunct. The "b" hotkey shows my bags as usual, but "shift-b" shows my Baggins interface.

Works really well for me.

I use Bagnons; it makes your bags one big bag - with controls for sizing and spacing - plus it tracks same items in your bank... and your alts bags and banks. A great add-on for an Alt-a-holic.
