Tip of the week
Macros to use objects and artifacts
This week we present you a tip given by Mythic last week, in order to put on an equal footing the people who read the Camelot Herald and the others. This feature, found by a German player, is still under development but is nonetheless partly working. As it has not been completed yet, we only present it for your information. It will not work in every case with every artefact, and consequently we will provide no support regarding this feature until it is completed. You can thus use it if you wish, but you can't contact customer support about it until it has been officially presented in a release note.
The usual method to use an artifact or an object as a potion is to select it with a right click, then to type the /use command for the first power, and the /use2 command for the second one.
The quickest method is to place the artefact in the shortcut bar, and to use the keyboard shortcuts corresponding to the /use and /use2 commands : you then have to press the keyboard shortcut and then click on the artefact's icon in the shortcut bar.
The new method consists of creating macros, that will not have icons right now, only a name.
For the artifact's first power (/use), you need to create a macro using this method :
/macro [name of the macro or the power] /use 5 [location code of the Artefact]
- For the /use2 :
/macro [name of the macro or the power] /use2 5 [location code of the Artefact]
Once the macro is created, place the button in your shortcut bar. You now only have click on this button to activate the power of the artifact.
Give short or abbreviated names to your macros in order for them to be readable in the shortcut bar. Here are the location codes for the artifacts :
0 = right hand weapon
1 = left hand weapon
2 = two-handed weapon
3 = ranged weapon
10 = helm
11 = gloves
12 = boots
13 = jewel
14 = torso
15 = cloak
16 = legs
17 = arms
18 = necklace
21 = belt
22 = left bracer
23 = right bracer
24 = left ring
25 = right ring
40-47 = first inventory bag, top to bottom
48-55 = second inventory bag, top to bottom
Ex :
/macro Speed /use 5 10 to use the first power of the winged helm
/macro Elix /use 5 44 to use a strong elixir of power placed at the 5th position of the first bag of the inventory
/macro Kroj /use 5 24 to use the power of Krojer's ring
/macro Batt /use 5 2 for Battler
/macro Croco /use2 5 13 for the second power of Atlantis' tablet
See you in two weeks for the next Camelot Reporter, as the editorial staff will take some well deserved holidays for the Christmas season. We wish you a merry Christmas, and of course a lot of fun in game if you are on holiday.

now tbh, who didn't knew about this?
