[1] Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I first started World Of Warcraft, I was disappointed when I couldn't find a good macro guide online. I'm not a huge macro guru myself, as some people who e-mailed me seem to think I am, this is just all my notes I have collected around the internet. If you E-Mail me, I'll try to help you as much as I can, but it may be anywhere from a day to a month when you hear word from me. I have a lot going on, and I'm a lazy person and tend to let things stack up. Also, before sending me a question, read the section 3, Macros 101.

[3] Macros 101
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use the macro, run World of Warcraft, and type /macro. This will bring up a new window with empty boxes. At the bottom, select "new" and you are promted to select a graphic icon and to name your macro. After that you get to a screen
where you can type up to 254 characters. Simple highlight the macro from this guide, copy it (by pressing CTRL + C) and paste it (by pressing CTRL + V) into the text box in the game.
So, What can Macros NOT do? They can not:
-Make you move
-Cast more than one spell
-Use wait commands.
I've gotten many e-mails from people about a wait command. Blizzard left that out so that no one would be able to create a simple bot. If you MUST have a wait command, you can download a User Interface called 'Cosmos', (www.cosmosui.com) where they have created their own wait command, which is "/in #". Replace the # with a number, and it'll do whats after it in #'s seconds.
For example, "/in 5" will do everything below it after 5 seconds. However, I strongly recommend not using cosmos, as it has many problems, creates lag for people with slow computers as it is, and badly programed. So, What can Macros do? Many things! Read below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[4] Basics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Targeting
Macro: %t
Use: This will say the name of your target.
Example: You target the silver elite mob Broken Tooth and say "/g Hey, %t spawned.", it'll show up as "[Guild] Hey, Broken Tooth spawned."
-Accept Quest
Macro: /script AcceptQuest()
Use: This will automatically accept any quest without waiting for it to scroll down in full.
Example: N/A
-Magic/Skills
Macro: /cast Spell name()
Use: Cast a spell using a macro.
Example: /cast Fireball(Rank 3) or /cast Backstab(Rank 1)
-Attacking
Macro: /script AttackTarget();
Use: Starts hacking away at an enemy, same effect as right click.
Example: N/A
-Assist
Macro: /assist %t or /assist ****
Use: Using %t will assist your current target, and the second you replace the stars with the persons name, so all you have to do is press a button and you can always attack the same thing as someone else in your party. Same effect as pressing "F" button while having a party member targeted.
Example: You have a tank named Drizzt, and you want to attack only what he attack, "/assist Drizzt" will give you Drizzt's target.
-Target Last Enemy
Macro: /script TargetLastEnemy();
Use: Targets last enemy you had.
Example: You're the back up healer and you're fighting something, you go and heal someone, and you press this macro to go right back to the mob you where fighting.
-Enemy Infos
/script SendChatMessage("Level: " .. UnitLevel("target") , "party");
Use: Like %t, it list the target's level.
/script SendChatMessage("Class: " .. UnitClassification("target") , "party");
Use: Put's the target's class in your chat box.
/script SendChatMessage("Family: " .. UnitCreatureFamily("target") , "party");
Use: Put's the target's family in your chat box.
/script SendChatMessage("Race: " .. UnitRace("target") , "party");
Use: Put's the target's race in your chat box.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[5] Bags
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Understanding location
First, let me explain how to figure the location of each of your items. Say we have a potion in the bottom most right hand corner of your second bag on the left. I'll walk you threw how to find the location of that item. Look down on your tool bar where your bags are. You see them? Bottom right hand corner? Good. Each of your bags have a number assigned to them, and it starts from your backpack (16 slot bag you start off with) to your to the first slot. Here's a little ASCII visual:
? || [4] [3] [2] [1] [0] |
This is our tool bar, from left to right we have: Call GM button, Latency bar, a Small Quiver, a Green Sack, a Small Bag, a Runecloth bag, and our Backpack. Our potion is in the second bag on the left.. Our Green sack. Looking at the little visual, we find that our green sack's location number is 3.
Moving on, now we have to find out the location of our bag slots. More ASCII visual fun!
Bag 0 Bag 1
O---- Backpack ----O O--Runecloth Bag --O
| | | |
| [ 1][ 2][ 3][ 4] | | [ 1][ 2] |
| [ 5][ 6][ 7][ 8] | | [ 3][ 4][ 5][ 6] |
| [ 9][10][11][12] | | [ 7][ 8][ 9][10] |
| [13][14][15][16] | | [11][12][13][14] |
| | O------------------O
| 77g 77s 77c |
O------------------O
Bag 2 Bag 3
O--- Small Bag ----O O--- Green Sack ---O
| | | |
| [ 1][ 2][ 3][ 4] | | [ 1][ 2] |
| [ 5][ 6][ 7][ 8] | | [ 3][ 4][ 5][ 6] |
O------------------O | [ 7][ 8][ 9][10] |
O------------------O
Bag 4
O-- Small Quiver --O
| |
| [ 1][ 2] |
| [ 3][ 4][ 5][ 6] |
O------------------O
This is pretty straight forward and should be easy to see. Our potion's location is bag three in bottom-most right hand slot. Looking at the visual we see that that would be slot 10 - So we have Bag 3, Slot 10. therefore, our potion's location is (3,10)!
-Putting Location to Use
Macro: /script PickupContainerItem(#,#);
Use: Selects the item and puts it on your curser.
Example: /script PickupContainerItem(3,10); will put the potion we just found on our curser.
-Open/Close all your bags
Macro: /script ToggleBag(0);
/script ToggleBag(1);
/script ToggleBag(2);
/script ToggleBag(3);
/script ToggleBag(4);
Use: Opens all your bags or close them all if you have them open.
Same function as CTRL+B almost.
Example: N/A
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6] Equip
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Understanding location
Like bags, each spot in your equip window has a numbered location.
( )=========Name=========[x] 0. Ammo
|----------------------------| 1. Head
|----------------------------| 2. Neck
|[ 1] | | [10]| 3. Shoulders
|[ 2] | | [ 6]| 4. Shirt
|[ 3] | | [ 7]| 5. Chest
|[15] | | [ 8]| 6. Waist
|[ 5] | | [11]| 7. Legs
|[ 4] | | [12]| 8. Feet
|[19] | | [13]| 9. Wrist
|[ 9] | | [14]| 10. Hands
| ------------------ | 11. Finger
| [16][17][18]<-[0] | 12. Finger
|----------------------------| 13. Trinket
[~~~] [~~~] [~~~] 14. Trinket
15. Back
16. Main Hand
17. Off Hand
18. Ranged Weapon
19. Tabard
-Putting Location to Use
Macro: /script PickupInventoryItem(#);
Use: Equips what's on your hand.
Example: Not really used by it's self, it's more for use along side the container pickup macro. For example we're using a Sword and have an axe in our backpack (location 0,1).
Looking back, we can take:
/script PickupContainerItem(#,#); <- put in item location, 0,1
/script PickupInventoryItem(#); <- put in equip location, 16
Now we have:
/script PickupContainerItem(0,1)
/script PickupInventoryItem(16);
So if you clikc this macro, it will replace the sword with the axe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[7] Pets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Pet Attack
Macro: /script PetAttack();
Use: Sends your pet to attack. Best used with a hunter's shot skill.
Example: N/A
-Pet's Target
Macro: /script TargetUnitsPet("Player");
Use: Targets what your pet is targeting.
Example: N/A
-Auto Feed Pet
Macro: /cast Feed Pet
/script PickupContainerItem (#,#)
Use: When I played my hunter, I loved this macro. When you press this macro, it'll cast Feed pet on the pickup Container Item.
The way this works is that all you do is press it, and it'll automatically feed your pet the item in the bag/slot you specify.
Example: Your too lazy to feed your pet, so you press a button and it's all done.
-Warlock fears, pet stays.
Macro: /cast Fear(Rank #)
/script PetFollow();
Use: Warlock cast fear, and pet quits attacking. Good to prevent your pet from messing your fear up.
Example: N/A
-Hunter Pull A
Macro: /cast Concussive Shot();
/script PetAttack();
Use: This is a macro I use for my pet, and I love it. It's great for solo. What it does is whenever you cast your Concussive
shot (which activates Autoshoot), it'll send your pet to attack. Great for solo, because if your pet has the highest growl, you shouldn't get hit.
Example: N/A
-Hunter Pull B
Macro: /cast Hunters Mark(Rank #);
/script PetAttack();
/cast Autoshoot();
Use: This was created by NetherRelm, and also works very well. This will cast Hunter Mark on the enemy, and like mine, send your pet to attack and turn Autoshoot on.
Example: N/A

[8] Useful Macros
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
First and foremost, most of the macros came from here:
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?FN=
wow-interface-customization&T=2739&P=1
This is the Offical World of Warcraft Macro boards, and you can find new macros there all the time, or post your own.
-Change Action Bar Page
Macro: /script CURRENTACTIONBARPAGE = X;
/script ChangeActionBarPage();
Use: Replace "X" with the action bar page number, and by pressing this, it'll automatically change.
Example: You have two of these, both set on the "=" on page 1 and 2, and have page 1's set to change to page 2, and vise virsa. Whenever you press "=", it'll toggle between page 1 and 2.
-Sharpen weapons with stones(By Arag)
Macro: /script UseContainerItem (#,#);
/script PickupInventoryItem (16);
Use: Simply press a button and use a Sharpening or Weightstone.
Example: Press a button, sharpen your weapon. Change the 16 or 17 to do it for a secondary weapon. For the #'s on the first line, please refer to "Understanding Location" in section 6.
-Quick Self-Bandage(by Domandred)
Macro: /target [Player Name]
/script UseContainerItem(#, #);
/script TargetLastEnemy();
Use: Really nice macro for duels or 1v1 pvp. You can stun/fear your enemy, press this and it'll automatically bandage you
without loosing your target.
Example: N/A
