Wow Macro Equip Trinket Slot

Np, I never used any weapon switch macros so the first response was a kick in the dark then I realized you could do the /equipslot thing since you can do it with trinkets. Without Purpose, You Cannot Exist. 1 Aliases 2 Arguments 2.1 Options 2.2 Item Types for equipped 3 Examples Slash commands Changes equipped items to stored item set in Equipment Manager /equipset options setname; options setname. None options List of options below, separated by commas, enclosed in setname The name of the set to switch to as it was saved in the Equipment Manager (note this is case sensitive) You may use.

  1. This macro can 'use' any slot on the character panel. 13 and 14 or the trinkets, but if you have use items like rocket boots etc this will work also. Note sure if it was a different implementation but there was a code to make the icon change that I cannot remember atm. Somethign like #showtooltip.
  2. After the trinket's initial equip cooldown expires, this macro will then use the trinket if pressed again. Note that if you're in combat or otherwise unable to switch items, this macro will be unable to function. Using items by what inventory slot you have them equipped to is possible with the /use inventory slot command. The slot is a number.
  3. Whether you think they are useful or just for the plain lazy, Macros are key to making any World of Warcraft player’s life easier. This 5-Part guide details how to create such macros, and also explains their purpose so your WoW experience is a little less taxing on the fingers.

This tip is from Instance 127, at time index 1:31:24.

The purpose of this first section was to give people the basics for everything that follows – how to create a macro, how to use the “?” icon, and how to use that all-important command, #ShowToolTips.

The first thing I should do here, though, is remind people how to create a macro. What you need to do is either:

  1. type /macro in the chat window, or
  2. press ‘Esc’, and when the menu pops up, select the “macro” button

You should then click on the “new” button, and pick a name, and also an icon to use. For almost every macro here, the best icon to use is hte first – the ? one.

To illustrate this I suggested the following:

#ShowToolTips
/use 13

This simple macro will allow you to place a trinket (your top one) onto an action bar button, so it can be fired off whenever you key that button. The ? icon is really useful here: if you’ve selected this, then once your macro is complete, it will display whatever your current trinket is, even if you use a UIMod like ItemRack or TrinketMenu to manage your trinkets for you. (Similarly, for later macros, it will display the first command that it can activate, so you can see what it is you’re about to do.)

If you want to do one for your second trinket slot, you’d use:

#ShowToolTips
/use 14

Once you’ve got that basic setup, you can modify this to use any usable item – such as:

#ShowToolTips
/use Super Healing Potion

#ShowToolTips
/use Heavy Mageweave Bandage

…however, there’s really not much point, except as practice; after all, if you want to use those things you can just drag them onto the action bar directly. These things only really come in useful when you use special commands, as covered in future segments. The ShowToolTips thing is only really useful when there’s more than one thing that the macro could activate.

I didn’t have time to explain in the segment, but the “13” refers to gear slot 13 on your paperdoll character sheet. You can find out more about these numbered locations somewhere like http://www.mmorpg-info.org/eq2/equipment-slots/.

The other thing like this that you can do is to link to bag slots – there’s information about that on WoWWiki: http://www.wowwiki.com/Making_a_macro#.2Fuse_.3Cbag.3E_.3Cslot.3E.

There are 18 equipment slots on a character, as well as 4 bag slots above the Micro Menu and a mount equipment slot in the Mount Journal. The combination of equipment slot and item type is often the first categorization of items used.

Equipment slots in macros

When creating macros based on 'click to use' items (especially trinkets), the common practice is to enter the actual item name. However, using the numeric equipment slot identifiers eliminates the need to manually modify macros after upgrading a particular item.

These slot designations are particularly handy for engineers whose Tinker enhancements and Engineering-only items add and/or posses an 'on use' ability for items in the Back, Belt, Foot and Head slot that would not normally posses such capability for non-engineers.

Here are is a complete list of each equipment slot and its numeric designation for macro purposes
