Organising items / mules

Hi,

what are some good ways of keeping track of your items / mules? E.g. which uniques you have, which set items, how many runes, on which character. etc...
I was thinking about writing my own organiser, but maybe there is already a good solution out there?

As for myself, I have 8 mules.

1 for runes, 1 for gems, 6 mules that each correspond to a tab here (Sets / Bases / Uniques / Rares / Crafted / Others).

+ 1 shared tab for runes, 1 for gems and keys, 1 for all other stuff.

If one is too full I

Charsi or give the least valuable / sellable stuff.

Therefore, my listing is... the items I sell here.

I use GoMule in single player. Try searching for AtmaStash and

Flavie Report, those are the tools that GoMule uses internally to let you generate reports of your items. But I'm sure there are even better trackers out there.

I like to have a a few mules for each ‘type’. Here’s some of my mule names:

UniqGBB (gloves,

Boots, belts)
Uniqwpns (unique weapons)
Uniques (armours and shields)
Uniqhelms
Runewords1
Runewords2
Wpnbase (bases for runewords)
Bases (armour, shields and helms)
Jewlerymule

One day maybe I’ll reorganize them a bit more, but they work for right now

i just use a spreadsheet

I have an Excel file where I keep track of all the stuff I have. It's tedious, yes. But without my Excel I'm totally lost withing my 400 unique and set items ^^

You guys think it'd be worth building a mule organiser into the site?

I've thought about doing that many times, but always hesitated because it would be so arduous to input each individual item for online chars, and there is no API to bulk fetch item data etc. so all manual inputs.

Would people have the patience to do this for online chars? Would this even be a useful thing to offer? For example for quickly browsing through your character tabs to see where you put X item, being able to search or sort/filter through all your items in a web UI reminiscent of

Atma?

If it could automatically fetch inventory data, then it would probably be the greatest ever tool for D2R online traders. Alas, there's no API as you said.

When I was playing Elite Dangerous, someone wrote a desktop app that would read the game data and use it to update a central server. D2R inventory data has to be stored in RAM somewhere, but I don't know if this is possible to find without a proper API.

Since I believe in quick turnover, IMHO manual updates would be too time consuming to be an effective trading tool. Other "high value, low turnover" sellers may see it differently of course.

Why not add a field when you create a trade where you add which character(s) or shared stash(s) is the item(s) stored in?
Seems less complicated than a mule organiser and could be quite helpful i think

Would have been great if an API and auto fetching of data existed. I know I would quickly loose patience to manually enter all items I keep.
But such a tool could also serve as trading list so maybe it's worth it.

Shared stash 1 - Runes (

Ral,

Hel,

Lem -

Zod)
Shared stash 2 - Charms
Shared stash 3 - 18 Rings, 8 Amulets, Space for muling

Charms - Extra charms (Gold find set, Physical dmg set)
Circlets
Jewels - Good jewels

Junk Jewels
Gems - 3 gems of each type and quality
Runes - Low level runes
PerfectGems
WeaponShop
ArmorShop
WeaponBases
ArmorBases

You're just flexing your

Zod, aren't you?

The item graphic assets used here I cropped to standard dimensions with dimensions stored in the DB, so that they would be easy to superimpose on a standard in-game inventory UI, so it'd be easy for me to make a grid inventory UI that can be populated with items.

In this way you could have a mule manager on diablo2.io, which could cross ref with your trade listings (if they exist) for quick item location after trade, and it would double up as a grail tracker too I suppose.

Since item database is already there, if you could allow logged in users to manually create tabs(to represent their mules) in their profiles, from each tab they created, they can add d2r items(which will use your current database search) into those tabs?

Of course, these tabs in their profile will have options for them to hide from users or allow users to see their items.

Im not sure if this will introduce bugs or storage issue on your backend…

I already do this by just tagging the char name in my trades.

I use nothing and just search my mules if I look for something.

I use textfiles with markdown tables for managing characters and mules
In the end, the organisation of mules is an organic thing, growing with the items you've got.

The following mules proved to be quiet persistent for me:

• Base Armor and Shields I + II
• Base Weapons I + II
• Jewels + Unique Amulets and Rings
• Rare, crafted and magical Rings and Amulets
• Rare crafted and magical Circlets, Belts, Gloves and
  Boots I + II
• Charms (except Skillers)
• Sundering Charms

I got most of my mules on another account and use the shared stash there for

Annihilus, Gheeds and torches. Also note that my second account is more of a backup solution than a place for high value items. Those i use to keep on some main champ and trade or equip ASAP.

I keep skillers and most other items in the private stash of the »most related champion«, which means e.g. that my

Fissure Druid also got the Shapeshifting Skillers, Jalals and Shapeshifter related stuff cause i havn't build a Shapeshifter yet

The shared stash consists of the Sections:

• Caster Amulet crafting ingredients,
  Blood Ring/Gloves crafting ingredients, Skulls, 2-3 max lvl Grand Charms, Other PGems
• Free sharing place for Flawless Gems and any other item. Also some functional / switchable stuff, like
  Edge Bow, Ondals, Gheeds, etc
• Ordered runes by Lvl, keeping 2x
  El -
  Dol, 4x
  Io -
  Lem with 2x the gem needed for upgrading. Also some Hels and all the higher runes in a rather unordered way. I also keep 1x
  Topaz and 1x
  Ruby there for
  Mal/
  Gul

Another handy thing is to have low/mid lvl tweaking stuff available on one champion, like:

• Khalim's Will
• Full Sigons
• 8* +3 Strg Large Charms
• Spirit, Treachery, Stealth, Leaf, Ancient's Pledge, Lore, etc. runewords
• Tals
  Mask
• Insight in
  Eth Normal/except Polearm
• Etc.

I also track the quest status, so my table looks like this: Where
o = Quest done and reward claimable at NPC
- = Quest not done yet
x = Quest reward redeemed

...and order is Normal/Nightmare/Hell
Combined with a fast texteditor, this became an efficient system for me

Same here. If Microsoft was

Pindleskin then Excel would be a

Ber drop.

At first, I had the tendency to keep every unique etc. but then I figured out that I don't use or trade most of the items normally and decided to keep valuable items.
1 base mule
2 gem mule
1 mid rune mule
1 weapon-shield mule
1 armor-

Helm-

Belt mule
1 boot-glove mule
1 charm-jewel-ring-ammy mule

1 shared stash for HRs
1 to collect keys, essences, tokens
1 to gems and items,

And that's it! I never duel so I keep things accordingly.

my system.

1 char of every class:
this chars will take the class-specific gear like coronets for pala, sorc etc, skillers

than i have 6 mules
Mule-A till Mule-F

Mule-A:

Boots
Mule-B: crafted and rare rings
Mule-C: bases
and so on

so its easy for me to check which headgear for pala, sorc etc i have in stock, or skillers.

shared stash
runes, crafting, material, annis and spare torches
