Harvesting .....

If you harvest on the edge - ie wait till the bars are really really low.....

Make this macro:

Line 1 Cancel current action
Line 2 run shortcut 'your careplan stanza'

These cancel action will stop the pick hit pushing you bars over the edge and the care plan will bring you back to safety.

Also - cancelling a harvest action - I have found stops the gas/explosion if the bar then drops to zero automatically.



A quick tip ... create 2 prospecting stanza....

One with range on it for finding sources, one without range.

In a double tap guide I noticed that prospecting with range tends to look for resources first at max range then it work toward you.

so after completing a harvest take a step back and re-prospect with no range and you should have your original spot back. Beware of the creap that occurs now we can't step back from the spot we are harvesting.



If you want to level your race specific crafting, but also want to level another lands harvesting. use prospect upto Fine.

The stuff you produce will be 'junk' and only fit for the NPC merchant.... but you do gain a leveling benefit.

Hi there missylee! You share part of my real name sake!

(no, it's not missy =P )

If i may ask a stupid question... How do u equip weapons and armor or reload ammo?
Do you use the Hands Bar for the weaps and ammo?


Yep

Do u use the "Equip" Tab in the upper left corner of your Inventory Window to equip armor and jewellery or do u use the Inventory; right-click on all the stuff and select "equip"?


Actually I click on the equip tab in the Invetory, then left click head, select helmet, left click body, select armor, etc ...

Armor:
1: Press "i" to get the Inventory Window; left-click on the upper left Tab "Equip" to see the Equip Window with boxes representing each body part; left-click on the box u want to equip/unequip something
or
2: Press "i" to get the Inventory Window and right-click on each item in there and select equip?)

The options #1 work fast enough for me...


Not fast enough during battle when I need to throw off all my clothes so I can res and heal faster!

I think Borg suggestion is best with the leaving the equip windows thing (even though it's another scene blocker), but I really wish I could program a "GET NEKKED" button to just push and wala, I am nekked.

Oh well. I'll just stick with light armor for now. I am now the proud owner of a pretty mismatch tryker outffit (green shoes, pink skirt, purple shirt) that makes me look like a girlie man and my butt looks big.

... sigh ...

Copy to new action

Got an action in your hands bar that you want to copy and edit a bit? Perhaps to try out a slight variance but you dont want to muck up your action:

Drag the action to a different slot but hold down CTRL to get a copy of that action. You can now edit it thus keeping your original action untouched.

Heal, attack, heal, attack...

Mages: Want to heal your tank, zap the mob, heal your tank and zap the mob some more, and so on? Sick of clicking a lot or maybe making a mistake?

Make a macro called (wait for it...) target your target's target. Such a lovely name. Lets say you map the macro to F1 then use as follows:

1) Heal your tank. Press F1 (the tank's target is now your target)
2) Zap the mob. Press F1 (the mob's target is now your target, ie your tank)
3) Go to 1)

This is also handy when the mob swtiches between several tanks - you always get to heal the obe currently under attack.
