Known Item Filter - Hide What You Already Know

Known Item Filter - Hide What You Already Know

Forever vendor windows are stuffed with recipes, tomes and grimoires you already know. Known Item Filter hides them, so you only see what's new.

Why players use it

• Recipes, plans, patterns, tomes, books and warlock grimoires you've already learned disappear from the vendor page.
• Known items are remembered across a /reload, a relog, or a lost saved file.
• The rest of the list moves up to fill every space, with no empty gaps. The page count only counts what you still need.
• Prefer to keep the layout? Switch to Dim and known items stay put, greyed out with a Known tag.
• A small Hide known box sits beside the game's own vendor filter, so the two work together.

30-second start

1. Talk to any vendor that sells recipes, tomes or grimoires.
2. Known items are hidden already. Untick Hide known at the top of the vendor window to see everything.
3. Warlocks: summon each of your demons once so it learns their grimoires (or let it read the "Already known" line on the item).
4. Type /vhk for the settings (Hide or Dim, the vendor box, the login message, and more).

Features

• Hides what you know: recipes, plans, patterns, schematics, formulas, tomes, books and grimoires you've already learned.
• No empty gaps: items you still need move up to fill every space in order, and the page count only counts them (for example "Page 1 of 4" instead of "Page 1 of 6").
• Warlock grimoires done right: it reads your demon's spellbook by name and rank, so the Imp's grimoires stay hidden even while your Voidwalker is out. Summon each demon once and it remembers. Grimoires your other demons already know are also found at login from each item's "Already known" line.
• Remembers between reloads: what it learns is saved per character and in an account-wide copy, so a /reload, a relog or a lost saved file doesn't bring known items back.
• Hide or dim: remove known items from the page, or keep the layout and grey them out with a Known tag.
• One click on the vendor: a small Hide known box sits beside the game's own filter dropdown. Hover it to see how many items here you already know.
• Plays nice with Blizzard's filter: the game's vendor filter (your class, specs, Bind on Equip, All) picks what the vendor lists; Known Item Filter hides what you've learned on top of that.
• Never guesses: while the game is still loading an item, it stays visible. It hides as soon as the item data arrives, with no need to reopen the vendor.
• Pretty settings window: dark window with a gold title and a tooltip on every option, in the shared Ironhide Addons window and in the game's AddOns options.

Commands

• /vhk: open the settings (/knownfilter, /vhknown and /vendorhide also work)
• /vhk toggle: hide or show known items
• /vhk dim / /vhk hide: dim known items, or hide them
• /vhk status: how many items this character remembers
• /vhk learn: learn from your current pet's spellbook now
• /vhk forget: clear this character's memory
• /vhk debug: at a vendor, lists every item and why it's known or not

FAQ

Did the game add its own vendor filter? Yes. Forever's vendor window has a filter dropdown for your class, specs, Bind on Equip and All. It filters by who can use an item, not by what you've learned, so it has no "hide known" option. The two work together.

A known item still shows. Hover it: if the tooltip says Already known, it'll hide after a second, once the game finishes loading it. If it doesn't, run /vhk debug at the vendor and send us the line for that item.

Is anything changed on my character? No. It only hides buttons in the vendor window. Nothing is bought, sold or learned for you.

What is Ironhide Addons? The family of addons Known Item Filter belongs to. If you have more than one, they share one settings window and one minimap button. Search "Ironhide Addons" on CurseForge.

Why the new name? This addon is now called Known Item Filter (it used to be Vendor Hide Known, and before that Skip Known). Your settings carry over, and /vhk still works. /knownfilter is a new alias.
