Trash Talk

Do I still need this? Tells you for quest items, quest starters, event and soulbound items: toss, check, bank or keep. Knows quest chains via Questie.

Trash Talk

"Do I still need this?" Every player asks this about the quest items, letters, event souvenirs and soulbound odds and ends in their bags. Trash Talk answers it. And it is built to never tell you to throw away something you still need.

Trash Talk does not care about grey junk or things you can sell. Other addons do that. It only looks at the items where you really are unsure.

Verdict Meaning
🟥 Toss Proven: quest completed, quest no longer doable for you, grey quest without a higher follow-up
🟧 Check Not sure, for example soulbound event items without value or use. Never deleted by Trash Talk
🟦 Bank Needed later: quest from level 40, quest you have not started yet, starter item for an alt
🟩 Keep Needed for an active quest, starts a quest, or protected by you

Smart quest knowledge (with Questie)

If Questie is installed, Trash Talk reads its quest database and knows:

  • which quest needs the item (objective, starter item, required item) and your progress
  • quest chains: a grey starter item is kept if the chain leads to higher level quests
  • levels: items for quests you are too low for go to Bank
  • class and race: a starter for a mage quest on your warrior is junk if soulbound, or Bank for an alt if not
  • dead quests: alternative quest already done, level cap passed, follow-up already done
  • where a soulbound item came from: "Reward from: The Old Letter"

Without Questie it works in a careful mode and marks uncertain items as Check.

Built for safety

  • Quest rewards are never junk just because the quest is done
  • Quest materials like cloth or herbs are ignored completely
  • Items with a use (hearthstone, toys, mounts) are never flagged
  • Rare items are never marked by the grey quest rule, legendary items never automatically
  • Deleting only works for Toss, always asks first, and checks the verdict again right before deleting
  • /trash log shows what you deleted

Features

  • Verdict and reason in every item tooltip
  • Markers on your bag slots

  • Settings window: every rule can be turned off
  • Minimap icon with counter, English and German
