View Full Version : Maximum Forage per macro

I'm trying to farm Misty Acorns to raise tailoring on my Halfling Druid. From my understanding, since the ground spawn are practically impossible to find (please let me know if you have a method), the best way will be Forage.

I wanted to do a macro to Forage multiple times. If I understand correctly, the limitations are:

1) /pause has a maximum of 70 seconds and Forage has a cooldown of 100 seconds
2) There cannot be two commands on the same line (except /pause).

The best I came up with is:

/pause 10, /doability 5
/pause 700, /autoinventory
/pause 400, /say Foraging one more time
/doability 5
/say Foraging Done

This makes it so I have 2 instances of Foraging per macro. I could /autoinventory the second one, but since I can't have a 3rd instance, having something on my cursor is a way to know where I am in my macro (in addition to the /say). To have a 3rd instance, I feel like I would need a longer single /pause or put two commands on the same line.

Is there something I'm missing? Did anyone manage to do 3 (or more!) Forage with a single macro?

I would think


/pause 300, /doa 5
/pause 700, /autoinventory
/pause 300, /doa 5
/pause 700, /autoinventory
/say Restart Forage Now


The pauses happen after the action on their same line.

Still only 2 forages but with this you don't have to do any manual inventory and can restart the hotkey as soon as the say goes out (and presumably triggers an audio alert through your log parser).

I hadn't thought about including the delay before /autoinventory in the 100 seconds pause!

I just tried:

/pause 300, /doability 5
/pause 700, /autoinventory
/pause 300, /doability 5
/pause 700, /autoinventory
/doability 5

and it worked for 3 Forages. When the cycle is complete, I will have an item on my cursor and Forage will be off cooldown.

Thank you :)
