Macros

[Zanion]

I was kinda dead set on skipping macros. But after I learned how easy it was and how much time it saves, I've gotta learn this.
Could someone list the basic macros terms?
I know these:
/emote
<t>
/ma for magic

But how do u target specific party members and people feel free to leave you favorite macros wether they be emotes or whatever. I'm trying 2 find the best macro's for my rdm. Help me out please. It's 2 a.m. now, so... I'll check back on this list at about noon (12) in the afternoon. Which is in 10 hours exactly. Thx!

But how do u target specific party members
It's good of you to be familiar with function keys of your keyboard.

F1: Target yourself (because you are listed on the top of PT member lists)
F2 - F6: target each of your PT members.

If you want to, for example, cast cure to specific person, use a pronoun <p0> - <p5> instead of <t>.

/ma Cure <p0> : Cast cure on yourself
/ma Cure <p1> : Cast cure on 2nd top person of the lists.

I rather use <stpc>. For example,

/ma Cure <stpc>

After you excute this, you have a small cursor that can target only player characters. You don't cast it until you choose the person to cure.

Thank u so much! I'm only lvl 9 so I don't have that many skills avaiable. And yes I did know about the f1-f6 thing. But it didn't work for macros. And ur <stpc> macro was the one I was looking for. Thanks a lot.

2ndly: Should I put my major enfeebles on Macros? Thx.

Still looking for other players character macros! Help this lvl 9 New Vana'diel Adventurer out!

2ndly: Should I put my major enfeebles on Macros?
Definitely! We're the specialists of enfeebles. Here're some more examples.

/ma Paralyze <bt>

/ma Slow <bt>

<bt> stands for "battle target." It targets mobs with a red name (means those who we're fighting with). We don't have to manually target them and this prevents us from mistakenly targetting others.

If you're sure you're in charge of both Paralyze and Slow, you can try this.

/ma Slow <bt>
/wait 3
/ma Paralyze <bt>

This saves one space. You can specify 1 - 20 (seconds) for waits. If you want to have 60 seconds for wait, just create something like this,

/ja Sneak Attack <me>
/wait 20
/wait 20
/wait 20
/p Sneak Attack is ready!

As an opposite of <stpc>, you can use <stnpc> for a pronoun. For example,

/ma sleep <stnpc>

After you execute it, you get a small cursor to target only non-player characters. Once you select the object, you start casting it. This can be often used with Bind, Gravity, and Sleep because these spells are commonly used in case of emergency (e.g, you have to fight with multiple enemies or you are running away from them).
