[Fishing] My Fishing Macros

  1. Dasim <Angler>, 2 years ago:

    So I started playing around with macros a while ago. I settled on the following 2 for my fishing stuff.

    First off I use the Fishingx4 one described other places on site (http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/my-winner-macro) 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 http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/my-winner-macro) 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....

    This is an old post i know. Just a little twist on one of your macros that i use...

    /click StaticPopup1Button1
    /cast Fishing
    /cast Fishing
    /cast Fishing
    /cast Fishing

    I added the line "/click StaticPopup1Button1" because i was fishing for the Dark Herring for the achievement, since it is BOP you get the pop up asking if you want to loot it. This way if you accidentally click your fishing macro before clicking yes to loot, it will automatically click yes to loot before recasting and you won't lose your achievement!

    Samurai, that is an excellent addition to any fishing macro. Thank you for sharing it. I'm adding it to my macro now. The popup has been a real pest for most fishermen for a long time.
