MACROS<br />

Macros are a very advanced type of user option that allows you to create<br />

hotkey buttons for your action bar that duplicate text messages, actions,<br />

and spellcasting. You could, for instance, bind the phrase "Hello everyone"<br />

to a single button using macros so that whenever you wanted to greet your<br />

guildmates, you only had to press your macro button instead of retyping<br />

the phrase each time.<br />

You can even bind spells and abilities to your macro, and add text to your<br />

casting. Some players bind a healing spell, for example, and a phrase such<br />

as "I am healing %t [targeted player name]" to a single button.<br />

Macros can save you a lot of time by automating some of your more<br />

common and repeated actions in the game.<br />

CREATING A MACRO<br />

To create a macro, open your chat prompt and type /macro.<br />

Once you do that, a macro window pops up. To create a macro, press the<br />

New button, type a name for your macro, and then select an icon for your<br />

macro and click the Okay button.<br />

Next, in the macro text box, type the command you want to automate.<br />

When you are finished, you then drag the icon corresponding to this macro<br />

to an available slot on your action bar. The next time you want to execute<br />

the macro, you can just click on the macro icon on your action bar or press<br />

the appropriate hotkey.<br />

For more detailed instructions on how to create and use macros, read the<br />

World of Warcraft website at:<br />

http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/basics/macros.html and look for<br />

game information. You can also type /macrohelp at the chat prompt for ingame<br />

instructions.<br />

Pet Action Bar<br />

If your character has access to a combat pet as a class feature, then anytime<br />

you summon a pet, a smaller action bar appears above your own. This pet<br />

action bar is used and populated the same way as your regular action bar.<br />

The hotkey for pet action bar icons is ctrl plus the appropriate number key.<br />

For example, the hotkey combination for your pet's first action bar icon is<br />

ctrl+1.<br />
