Forage Macro Help

[Crookstinger]

If you have the social macro made, then you just need to click and hold that macro button to pick it up and place it in one of your hotbars. Then Alt-O, choose the hotbar (1-4) on which you placed the social macro, then assign the numbered slot on the hotbar where your social macro sits as the same key as your preferred movement key that you want to map to. If you mess up and assign the wrong key, just hit escape to clear that key. One suggestion is that if your keys are already assigned, write down or take a screenshot of what the initial settings are before you tinker with them, in case you need to reset them.

This is one of those things that any of us could show you in about 30 seconds, but it's exponentially more difficult to try and explain via the forum.

I made the macro but a forage hotkey was already there. Do I need to erase that one before I click and hold to put it in my abilities hotbar? If so how do I erase the old one?

You can just hold left click till it attachs to the cursor and then click some where on your screen and it should drop off.

Leave the forage hotkey where it is on your abilities window. The /doability 4 command needs it to be there in order to work.

If there is a forage hotkey already on your hotbar, however, you can move/remove it as you please. You can click and hold and just drop it on the screen somewhere to remove it, or click and hold and put it somewhere else in the hotbar if you want to keep it.

When I click and hold the old forage hotbar it comes onto my cursor but it doesnt remove from the hotbar. I think I need to erase or delete the old one before I can put the doability one in there. Right?

Sounds like OP needs screenshots. Anybody have a walk through with screenshots?

[Crookstinger]

I did some cursory googling and checked youtube but nothing very relevant came up. I could do screenshots over the weekend but don't have access at the moment.

Are you on the hotbar or the abilities bar? The abilities bar is the one that shares the space with the combat and social macros. The hotbar is the numbers 1-10 that correlate to 1-10 on your keyboard. You map those to the direction key, set the ability 1-6 to forage, write your macro pointing to that 1-6, and then drag your macro to the 1-10 on the hotbar.

Kind of a crappy screenshot, but to further Samoht's point, in the above the hotbar is on the left, and the abilities bar is in the lower right.

Since you are using /doability 4, then Forage needs to be on the abilities bar in position 4 (where Sense Heading is in the above screenshot). Then make your social macro, move it to the hotbar, then hit Alt-O to bind the movement key of your choice to the same hotbar position where you placed the social macro for forage. The hotbar numbering follows the same pattern as can be seen in the abilities bar above.

How do you bring up the hotbar on the left? I dont see one on my screen.
