I get “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” when I try to look for Best in Bags or Find Upgrades.

Blessings!

Somehow your inventory got into a strange state – I’ll put a check that should prevent this error from happening in our next update (which will be Tuesday with the patch).

Fixing the bug aside, we should try to get your character and inventory into a better state:

  1. Make sure that you have the latest version of the addon (v146 as of this post) – I was unable to tell which version you were using from that snapshot
  2. Go in-game and open your bank once, then activate each of your specs once
  3. Open the export tab of the addon and copy your data from the game to our website
  4. Run Best in Bags

In theory that should clear this up – your character was showing a bunch of equipped gear that didn’t line up to your inventory which led to this issue. It is possible that this character was cached from way back when we still supported reading from the armory.
