I settled on the following 2 for my fishing stuff. First off I use the Fishingx4 one described other places on site (<a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/my-winner-macro" rel="nofollow">http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/my-winner-macro</a>) but I modified it to fit my needs: /cast [button:1] Fishing /cast [button:1] Fishing /cast [button:1] Fishing /cast [button:1] Fishing /use [button:2] Sharpened Fish Hook /use [button:2] Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 For those of you who don't speak Macro. By clicking the left mouse button (or pressing the hotkey) I will cast. And if I hit the right mouse button it will attach a lure (I have to have my fishing pole. I realize that you can set it up to not display the error messages (again <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/my-winner-macro)" rel="nofollow">http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/my-winner-macro)</a> but it was more important to me to use the button for attaching lure. Naturally if you want to use this replace the pole and lure with the one you're using. You can also set it up for Alt+click or Shift+click or Ctrl+click but I didn't want to have to remember which one was which. The second is so I don't have to think about equipping my pole and back again...with a twist: #show Speckled Tastyfish /equipslot 16 Victorious Spellblade /equipslot 17 Vile Tome of Tenets /equipslot 16 Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 First off the button itself acts as a counter during the Fishing Extravaganza. Second off it will equip my pole (or regular gear) by clicking it. I was reading all kinds of macro guilds on how to switch from one-handed to two-handed weapons to make this one. Then found out it's as simple as shown above. If I click it when I have my regular gear equipped it will equip fishing pole. If I click it when I have fishing pole equipped it will equip my regular gear. The downside to this is I have to change the main hand and off hand everytime I upgrade...which since I'm still leveling it happens quite often. Naturally to adapt this one to your use simply replace the "Victorious Spellblade" with your main hand weapon (or 2-handed weapon) and "Vile Tome of Tenets" with your off hand (or remove it completely if you are a 2-hander). And replace your fishing pole and even the fish if you want it to count something else (lures or other fish you're catching). Hope this gives you guys looking for macros some more ideas. It's all about how you want stuff to work....

Perusing the information & suggestions here was worth months of experience. Anyways, my success was definitely due to this awesome page... but here's a macro I found helpful. Instead of just using your "Fish" spell from your Spellbook, I thought it might be a good idea a while back, so I made a macro like: /cast Fishing /cast Fishing /cast Fishing /cast Fishing This way, every time I click it I get a cast, even for those nodes which are close to land. Basically, instead of my bobber landing too close (usually outside the node) to land, it recasts right away - the "Water Too Shallow" message still displays, but I have already put my bobber somewhere more.. valid. Try it out, and maybe share it if you think It would help others :) - Galdrin of Draka bluewire on "conditional macro - apply the right lure" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/conditional-macro-apply-the-right-lure#post-7287 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:44:33 +0000 bluewire 7287@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ I'd like a macro that will: On CLICK - cast (or start fishing) On SHIFT-CLICK (or right-click, either way) - apply to my fishing pole (already equipped) a lure from Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat if equipped - apply to my fishing pole (already equipped) a Sharpened Fish Hook if no Weather Beaten Fishing Hat is equipped Note - I use ItemRack with a fishing gear set to equip a pole (and a fishing hat for my toons that have one). Thanks in advance for your help - i know I fail at writing macro's renork on "Macro for turn-in" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/macro-for-turn-in#post-6719 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 19:53:52 +0000 renork 6719@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ Ok so I just lost the MOST annoying way EVER. I had the quest completion window open, had selected the item and had my mouse over the complete and someone else won. ARRGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So it led me to my realization that I need to macro that turn-in. Preferably even with a target macro so I can do it the instant I hearth. I have the following macro: /script SelectGossipAvailableQuest(1) /script SelectGossipActiveQuest(1) /script CompleteQuest() /script SelectGossipOption(2) /script AcceptQuest() Which i believe will complete the quest (selecting the trinket) once I've right clicked on the quest giver. Can anyone comment on it? Is there a way to /tar and initiate conversation with the questgiver? donquixote235 on "Equipment Manager Macro" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/equipment-manager-macro#post-6301 Thu, 21 May 2009 13:58:58 +0000 donquixote235 6301@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ I like to have Find Fish active when I'm in my fishing gear, and my main gathering skill active when I'm geared normally. I found that this helps me a lot with the new Equipment Manager: 1. Create two new sets - your main gear set (call it Main) and your fishing set (call it Fishing) 2. Create the following two macros (use the '?' icon for them; it's the first icon on the list): #showtooltip [your main weapon name here] /equipset Main /cast Find Herbs (or Find Minerals, or whatever) #showtooltip [your fishing pole name here] /equipset Fishing /cast Find Fish When I say "your main weapon name here" or "your fishing pole name here", I mean replace the bracketed area with the exact name of your weapon or pole... e.g. "#showtooltip Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole" 3. Save these two macros, call one 'Main' and the other 'Fishing', and place them on your toolbar. Ta-da, you can now easily switch from fighting to fishing with the click of a button!
