How to create a list of items to keep?

Hi

I'm new to this as you can see. I searched around but I couldn't find anything on this.

What I want to do is sell all items with few exceptions. Lets say I want to sell all white items but keep cloth, or I want to sell only bound green items in my bags. Is that possible and if it is how?

 

Thanks alot. Forcemail seems helpful too. There was no such file though so I created it and copied the sample, I just have to do some editing now

 

Tony, Who updates the protected items list? I made my own protected list for the profiles before I found your default one u linked. I have the Archaeology crafted items (blues/purples) if you would like to add it.

Code:

   <!-- Archaeology: Crafted Items (Sorted by class) -->

       <Item Name="Arrival of the Naaru" Entry="90983" />
       <Item Name="The Last Relic of Argus" Entry="90984" />
       <Item Name="Staff of Sorcerer-Thane Thaurissan" Entry="91227" />
       <Item Name="Chalice of the Mountain Kings" Entry="90553" />
       <Item Name="Clockwork Gnome" Entry="90521" /> 
       <Item Name="The Innkeeper's Daughter" Entry="91226" />
       <Item Name="Extinct Turtle Shell" Entry="98533" />
       <Item Name="Fossilized Raptor" Entry="90619" />
       <Item Name="Ancient Amber" Entry="98560" />
       <Item Name="Fossilized Hatchling" Entry="89693" />
       <Item Name="Pterrordax Hatchling" Entry="98582" /> 
       <Item Name="Blessing of the Old God" Entry="91214" />
       <Item Name="Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron" Entry="91215" />
       <Item Name="Bones of Transformation" Entry="91761" />
       <Item Name="Queen Azshara's Dressing Gown" Entry="90616" />
       <Item Name="Tyrande's Favorite Doll" Entry="91757" />
       <Item Name="Wisp Amulet" Entry="91773" /> 
       <Item Name="Druid and Priest Statue Set" Entry="90493" />
       <Item Name="Highborne Soul Mirror" Entry="90464" />
       <Item Name="Kaldorei Wind Chimes" Entry="90614" />
       <Item Name="Headdress of the First Shaman" Entry="90843" /> 
       <Item Name="Crawling Claw" Entry="92137" />
       <Item Name="Pendant of the Scarab Storm" Entry="92145" />
       <Item Name="Ring of the Boy Emperor" Entry="92168" /> 
       <Item Name="Scepter of Azj'Aqir" Entry="92148" />
       <Item Name="Scimitar of the Sirocco" Entry="92163" />
       <Item Name="Staff of Ammunae" Entry="92139" />
       <Item Name="Canopic Jar" Entry="91790" /> 
       <Item Name="Zin'rokh, Destroyer of Worlds" Entry="90608" />
       <Item Name="Haunted War Drum" Entry="98556" />
       <Item Name="Voodoo Figurine" Entry="98588" /> 
       <Item Name="Nifflevar Bearded Axe" Entry="90997" />
       <Item Name="Vrykyl Drinking Horn" Entry="98569" /> 

Could also add rogue's Thief's Tools for lock picking, and can update the poisons:

Code:

   <!-- Class Rogue -->
       <!-- Class: Rogue, tools (alphabetical) -->
       <Item Name="Thieves' Tools" Entry="5060" />

       <!-- Class: Rogue, poisons (alphabetical) -->
       <Item Name="Anesthetic Poison II" Entry="43237" />
       <Item Name="Crippling Poison" Entry="3775" />
       <Item Name="Deadly Poison" Entry="2892" />
       <Item Name="Instant Poison" Entry="6947" />
       <Item Name="Mind-numbing Poison" Entry="5237" />
       <Item Name="Wound Poison" Entry="10918" />

 

That would be quite helpful DJKid. I'm almost 85 now and I was planning to work on Archeology some time soon. That list is definitely going to help, thanks a lot.

 

no prob. I found out the hard way. Fresh install of the last release didn't include Protected Items.xml. My skinning profile sold all my fun archaeology toys, which wont come up again

Theres still a decent amount of vanity items not listed on there, such as Burgy's Handsome Hat. So just double check any items you normally keep in your bags. They are easy to add, and the item ID u can get from the URL if you search the item on Thottbot or WowHead.

 

I was checking for few items that no one would want to sell to a vendor, and noticed they are not in the list. Then I saw your post. Thanks for the heads up. It's gonna take a while to complete that list =D

 

is there a way to protect ALL cloth items, without having to write all the cloth items in game? that seems kind of a big undertaking.
