Bagnon Addon Guide

Bagnon is an addon for World of Warcraft that replaces the default inventory frames. It consolidates the contents of your equipped bags into a single window, with matching windows for your bank, guild bank, and void storage. The addon has been around for a long time and is widely used, even after the improvements made to the default user interface in Dragonflight. One of its most useful features is the ability to view your bank, guild bank, and void storage inventories from anywhere in the game. You can even view the inventories of your other characters on the same realm. It also offers some customization of the inventory frame’s appearance and behavior.

We’ll take a look at all of Bagnon’s features in this guide, but first, let’s get it installed.

Installing Bagnon

Bagnon is available to download from CurseForge. It can be installed manually or using the addon manager of your choice. If you need help with installing it, check out our guide How to Install and Manage Addons.

Setting Up Bagnon

Once you have Bagnon installed in your Addons folder, you can enable it in the game. To do this, go to the character selection screen in World of Warcraft and look for the AddOns button in the bottom left corner. Make sure that the following boxes are checked:

• BagBrother
• Bagnon
• Bagnon Config
• Bagnon Guild Bank
• Bagnon Void Storage

When they’re all enabled, click Okay. Now you should be able to use Bagnon in the game.

Plugins for Bagnon

There are a few different plugins available for Bagnon – addons for your addon! You can find an up-to-date list on the Bagnon GitHub.

Notable is the Masque plugin, which allows you to use the Masque addon to reskin your Bagnon bag slots. This will allow them to match buttons from other addons that can be skinned by Masque, such as Bartender 4. Bagnon doesn’t have many cosmetic options on its own, so use Masque if you want to further customize the appearance of your bags.

Using Bagnon

Now let’s look at all of Bagnon’s features and customization options.

Bagnon Chat Commands

Here are some chat commands that you can use to make navigating Bagnon’s features a little easier.

• Type /bagnon bags to toggle your inventory, similar to using your inventory keybind.
• Type /bagnon bank to toggle your bank inventory (view-only unless you are physically near a bank).
• Type /bagnon guild to toggle your guild bank inventory (view-only unless you are physically near a guild vault).

• Type /bagnon version to see the current version number for the addon in your chat window.

Once you have the options menu open, there are a few pages you can access from the sub-list on the left side of the window. We’ll look through those pages below.

Bagnon

The Bagnon page of the options menu has a few general settings for the addon.

• Lock Frames: Check this box to prevent moving the inventory windows around on the screen.
• Tooltip Item Counts: This will display the number of the item you have in each of your characters’ inventories on its tooltip.

• Flash Find: If this is checked, you can Alt-left-click an item to highlight all instances of that item in your inventory windows.
• Fallback Hidden Bags: This will use the default Blizzard bags for hidden inventory containers.
• Character Specific Settings: This will make any settings you change in the options menu apply to your current character only.
