This is not really a patch for Possessions, it is the full version of Possessions modified for WoW 2.3, with a few improvements.
Commands:
Code:
/poss Open the possessions window
/poss text Open Possessions and search for "text"
/poss [itemLink] Open Possessions and search for the item linked
/poss -clear name Clears all stored data for the character or guild named "name" on the current realm.
/poss -validate all Queries the server for all items stored in your database for the current realm. This will get rid of the questionmark icons, but it has the potential to disconnect you.
Some Features:
Item Link Storage:
For any character on your account, Possessions stores worn items, items in your inventory, in your keyring, in the bank, in the inbox, and in the the Guild Bank. Of course, you must log in to each character at least once to store their worn items, their inventory, and their keyring contents. In order to track bank contents, you must visit the bank. Possessions stores the items that are in your character's inbox any time you open your inbox. It also stores any items that you mail to one of your alts that Possessions recognizes.
Money Tracking:
Possessions keeps track of how much money each of your characters has and displays the total at the bottom of the Possessions results window, as well as the amount per character in a tooltip when you mouseover the total. Possessions also counts money which you have mailed to an alt, or money in your inbox.
Lite Mode:
Enabling Lite Mode will cause Possessions to immediately stop storing the links to the texture of each item in your inventory. It is unnecessary to store this link since it can be grabbed from the server when needed. One example of such a link is "Interface\\Icons\\INV_Misc_Rune_01", the icon for a Hearthstone. The Lite Mode setting is stored per-account, so it will be the same among all of your characters. You should use Lite Mode unless you are also using Possessions PHP Guildbank cont to display your possessions on a website since it requires the textures.
Safe Links:
When you first log in game after a patch or after your server was restarted, you may see a question mark icon and a generic link for the item. This is normal and is just a measure of safety to help prevent you from being disconnected. You can right click the item to query the server and bring the item's information into your local cache.
3rd Party Extensions:
WhoHas - Display locations of items in their tooltip in your bags, bank, or anywhere else outside of Possessions
2.0.2p (TOC: 20400) Coming Soon...
- Queue bag scanning to no more than once every 1.5 seconds.
- Use the new GetItemIcon function to ensure that we get a
texture even for unvalidated items (no more question mark icon!).
2.0.2o v3
- Fixed a bug which caused an error to appear when mousing over the total gold value
if you have guild bank data stored.
- Added a "/poss -validate all" slash command to validate all items in your database
for the current realm.
2.0.2o v2
- Fixed a bug which caused errors for new users of Possessions and when adding new bags.
2.0.2o
- Track the bags in your character's inventory and bank bag slots. Thanks to
Lauchsuppe for the example.
- Record guild bank contents. Guilds will show up in your list of characters,
as if they were characters. Thanks to Gruma, author of WhoHas, for the idea to use GBF_Update.
2.0.2n v2
- Added support for multiple attachments to mail.
2.0.2n (TOC: 20300)
- Support for new item subtypes in the 2.3 patch. You can now find things like
Herbs, Ore, and leather more easily.
2.0.2m v2:
- Fixed: Bug which caused errors on login for the first time with Possessions installed.
2.0.2m:
- New: Money in a character's inbox is counted towards a character's total money.
- New: Records items and money returned from one of your characters inbox to another.
- Fixed: Bug which caused items to be added to your possessions even if a SendMail failed.
- Fixed: Bug which prevented bags which had an empty first slot from being stored
after logging out.
- Fixed: Bug which occasionally caused possessions to stop working after zoning.
- Fixed: Bug which caused incorrect item to show when a search had only one result.
- Fixed: Bug which could cause stacks of the same item to show up separately in results
if the compressed links were different.
- Improved: Enabling/Disabling Lite Mode instantly adds or removes icons for all
characters on the current realm in your database. You can temporarily disable Lite Mode
right before you want to get your savedvariables file for Possessions PHP Guildbank.
- Improved: Lite Mode now also combines stacks of like items within the same bag to
reduce the database size. This is currently a work-in-progress.
- Changed: MoneyTooltip is sorted alphabetically.
2.0.2l: (TOC: 20200)
- New: Icons in the tooltip for search results to help show where the item is located.
- Improved: Reduced garbage memory creation for inventory changes and searches.
This means that Possessions should no longer use up gobs of memory if you conduct
lots of searches.
- Improved: Handling of event-based bag scanning. Eliminated double scans.
- Improved: Search results will no longer clump items with the same name, but
different gems/enchants together preventing you from seeing the true link.
- Improved Full Text Search tooltip scanning speed and hopefully other aspects of performance.
- Removed: EnhTooltip support is removed. No functionality is lost, the original
Possessions used EnhTooltip to display money, but that is now built-in, so EnhTooltip
is no longer necessary.
2.0.2k v2:
- Fixed: Error when sending mail with no attachment.
- Fixed: Added missing Subtypes for Simple and Prismatic gems.
2.0.2k:
- New: WIM support. You can link items to WIM chat windows.
- New: Optional Full Text Search. This allows you to search all lines in the item's tooltip.
When this is enabled, searches will be slower.
- New: Items that you mail to alts will now be recorded with links
- New: Added support for new "Gem" Type and its corresponding subtypes. You can
search for gems by their color.
2.0.2j:
- Improved: Scaled random suffixes are extracted from the uniqueID to reduce the
amount of memory needed to store items with negative suffixIDs. For example, both
"362610728" and "343867432" become simply "40".
- New: Search by item type and subtype. Also added buttons to reset all search fields
and to begin the search.
- New: Drop down menus are sorted alphabetically.
- New: Now shows a note when you mouseover an uncached item with a question mark
icon in the Possessions window explaining how to query the server for the item link.
The note resembles that of AtlasLoot Enhanced. Also shows a message recommending
that you check the mail on a character which has an unconfirmed item in their inbox.
- Change: Possessions window is no longer always on top of other windows.
2.0.2i:
- Change: Defaults to Lite Mode. Nothing can parse the new savedvariables format yet
anyways. *Update* Possessions php Guildbank Cont seems to work, just be sure to uncheck the Lite Mode box to tell Possessions to save the item texture.
- Fix: Properly handle instanceID which determines the stats of new randomly enchanted items.
- Fix: Left or right clicking a randomly enchanted item will show the correct link.
2.0.2H:
- New: Optional Lite Mode. When Lite Mode is enabled, item textures (Icons) are not stored in memory. Instead, they are retrieved when needed from the server. Lite Mode also shrinks the itemString whenever possible to save memory. This feature is toggled by a new checkbox in the bottom right corner of the Possessions window. The downside to this is that programs like Possessions Browser do not have the Texture available.
- New: Money will be displayed even without enhTooltip.
- New: Accept Links as parameters at the command line. Example: "/poss [Hearthstone]"
- New: Left clicking an item in the Possessions results list will pop up a movable tooltip for the item.
- New: /poss -clear <name> command for clearing all data for a certain character on the current realm.
- New: Items recorded in your inbox will now have links.
- Fix: Shouldn't taint any global variables anymore. (thanks to devilcat on curse-gaming.com)
- Fix: Support for negative suffixIDs and uniqueIDs in patch 2.0.3.
- Fix: Added Pairs() to Possessions_convertDB1to2. Thanks Dridzt
2.0.2g:
- Keyring support (thanks to Lauchsuppe for some ideas).
- Now Ignores UniqueID to save some memory. I'm considering a way to ignore unused enchant and suffix data too.
- Won't show tooltip for items that don't exist in cache. Right click to query server.
- Added Stack Count to tooltip shown when mousing over items in the results window.
- Maintains backward compatibility with old data.
- Support possibly negative suffix ID in TBC.
- Added code to support the GetInboxItemLink(index) function which should be available in WoW 2.0.2. This means that items recorded in your inbox can have links instead of just text. This feature will be enabled in a future release of Possessions.
2.0.2f: Fixed a typo which caused you to be disconnected when linking items from Possessions. Also added the display of Recipe Book information to the tooltip.
2.0.2e: Now compatible with the new Item String Format. This means that items with suffixes such as "of the Bear" will be stored correctly.
2.0.2d: Improved text in dropdown for filtering by slot.
2.0.2c: Fixed filtering by slot. Items stored in your Inboxes will show up in random slots. Added Gello's fix for escape keypress.
2.0.2b: Fixed some table references that I missed which caused errors for enhtooltip users.
Many of us currently use guilds for private storage, I personally use the guild for private storage and would greatly appreciate the addition of showing the guild funds (money) on the mouseover of the money tooltip. Nice addon....
even posting code changes to impliment this on just those who wish it would really help.

Please give us the ability to turn on and off the display of items from specific guild banks. The reason I ask is that I want to be able to see what is in my guilds bank but I don't want to count it as being apart of my inventory. Or you could have it say that I have 50 arcane dust in possessions and when i mouse over the arcane dust in possessions it will say that i have 50 on x toons and that there is also 120 arcane dust in X guild bank.
The reason for this is that most of us dont have access to any of the items in the guild bank and have to ask a guild leader for said item from the bank. As such I don't want it to count what is in the guild bank as apart of what I Possess.
Also the reason why i want you to be able to turn on and off the display per guild bank is that I have a bank character that I setup a guild on so that I could access the Guild Bank to give him additional storage space, and in this case I do want the items in this bank to be counted towards the total that I have for those items.
I will probably post another update (the one listed as "Coming Soon"), though unfortunately I won't be able to implement all of the features that people have asked for.
With the latest version of Possessions, I'm receiving double tooltips for "Will be able to Learn", "Can be learned by" and "Already Known By" for any recipes residing in a guild bank when used in conjunction with RecipeBook.
I have been using Possessions for a while now. Possessions has saved me so much time in finding where things are - it's great! Now, I might be just ignorant, but I can't find a way filer out the possessions of certain toons or guild banks. For example, I want to quickly find out flasks I have. I don't want to count the ones in the guild bank, or in the personal inventory of my guild bank toon, because those flasks really do not belong to me . Is there a way, or do you have any plans to allow for this type of filtering?
When switching from Lauchsuppe's versions of Possessions available from curse and worldofwar or whatever they're called now, you must delete your savedvariables file for Possessions before using my version. Switching from Lauchsuppe's version to mine without deleting the saved variables will cause the problem where items which are not in your keyring appear under your Keyring. Unfortunately, Lauchsuppe has now published my version on curse without any mention of the incompatibility or any credit. Great.
I'll be trying to check out my addons over the next few days and will post updates if needed. Possessions appears to work just fine with 2.4 if you check the "Load out of date Addons" checkbox before you log in. I have a version with delayed bag scanning which I never posted since I wasn't sure if it would be better or worse, but It'll have to come out now.
It looks like I can get rid of the silly questionmark icons for non-verified items now that Blizzard added a GetItemIcon function.
Remember: When first logging in after a patch when your local item cache has been cleared, you can use this command to attempt to validate all of the items in your database. This could cause you do be disconnected if you are one of the first people to log in after a patch and you have lots of items that no one else on your server has.
Originally posted by nelsonha I'm having an issue with Possessions 2.0.2o v3 where it lists items which are not keys as being on the keyring and it also lists them in the proper location so it's not a show stopper. Any way to fix this?
I had this problem after switching from the old poss to this one. Clearing all of the poss data files from your wtf folder will fix the problem. You will need to log back in on each char to rebuild the database.

Originally posted by handvprice 1) After it worked on my first toon, every time thereafter that I typed /poss it just gave the Blizzard message about "Type /help for commands" . Resolved this by deleting the possessions.lua in the savedvariables folder.
2) It seems to not have noticed that I sold some duplicate things from my bags to a vendor, and still shows them in my "inventory", along with the remaining one in my mailbox. Is there a way to force it to refresh?
1) I've heard of this problem before... I'll try to look into it when I find time.
2) Data should be updated for any of your bags whenever their contents change. Selling to a vendor should cause the data to be updated. If it does not, then there's a problem.
Sorry for the lack of updates lately all. You know how it goes.
I'm loving Possessions, especially with WhoHas added (replacing Sanity).
2 minor problems, 1 resolved:

Originally posted by Siz The ability to disable display of data for the opposite faction has been requested by a few other people. One kind soul even shared the code that he gave to Lauchsuppe with me to make it easier to add. The only thing really holding me back is finding a place to put the button Maybe I'll add a quick slash command for this in an upcoming version.
Add me to the list of people who would really love to see the ability to toggle opposite faction data on or off. I don't need a button; a slash command would be great.
The money tracking feature DOES display the total amount my characters have on them. However, it just lists a total and not how much is on each character. Plus is there a way to track how much (gold) is in guild banks as well? With the rise of private guild banks that would be a nice feature.
