WhoHas

WhoHas modifies every tooltip in the game to show which of your characters have the item in the tooltip, and where. This works in your inventory, at the auction house, on chat links, and even in trade skill windows. The tooltip will show how many of the item each of your characters have, and where - in their inventory, in the bank, equipped, or even in their inbox. This can be useful for managing your overall inventory, or for finding out who has the items you need for crafting.

WhoHas requires a separate addon to track all of your personal items. WhoHas currently supports:

Armory is preferred, since it has the most complete inventory and gets frequent updates. Siz's Possessions is a decent second choice and has good inventory support, but has not received much developer attention lately.

WhoHas will auto-select the best backend to use based on the inventory addons you have enabled. It will search for addons in the order shown above.

I may be able to add support for other inventory addons on request.

WhoHas now supports English, German, and French, thanks to the efforts of Pelion, maintainer of ReagentID.

Enter "/whohas" in chat to configure.

To prevent WhoHas from showing tooltips for specific items, enter "/whohas ignore ITEM NAME" in chat, where ITEM NAME is the item you don't want WhoHas tooltips for. You can also type "/whohas ignore " (make sure to include the space at the end) and then shift-click on the item you want to ignore to fill in its name.

Note as of WoW 3.0

The WoW 2.4 client changed the way the local item cache is updated. It now updates very slowly after a game patch. I have not yet verified whether this is still the case with WoW 3.0 or not. Since WhoHas needs the item cache info to figure out your inventory, slow updates can cause problems, particularly with Guild Banks. To work around this issue, check your inventory, bank, and Guild Bank after a game update, wait a few minutes for your local cache to fill in completely, and then check them again. You will only have to do this once after each game update.
