found this... stealth impruvement... dont think it works on our servers
Q: On the Vault, I saw a post claiming that Mythic has added a feature allowing us to make artifact macros that only take one click to use. Really? Was there a patch note?
A: You've heard of stealth nerfs? Well, this is a stealth improvement. Neither happens very often, and in any case the patch note for either was simply overlooked as opposed to intentionally snuck in.
But in this case it's just a feature that isn't complete. The plan is to put in a button in the interface, of course, and since it wasn't entirely ready for you to use it's not the most logical thing to type. But now that the cat's out of the bag, you're welcome to use it if you don't mind doing a bit of typing. Kudos to the German player who found it first. Sir, have you considered a career debugging software?
Here's the trick:
Type exactly the following for the 5th level ability. Don't add any more or fewer spaces.
/macro name /use 5 XX
For the 10th level:
/macro name /use2 5 XX
That's it. The five doesn't mean anything, but it won't work without the five. The name is whatever you want to name the macro. The XX is the number of the slot where you keep the artifact. Here's how we have numbered the slots:
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
(The other bags may work, count out accordingly.)
So, to use the Winged Helm's level five ability with this macro, you would type:
/macro WH /use 5 10
PLEASE NOTE: If you have trouble with this, please don't appeal it as a bug. As I said, this is not a complete feature and not entirely ready for players to use it. But it's so darn handy that we didn't want some players to be using it while others were in the dark.
