| Rules for Writing Macros |
| 1: Spelling, Spelling, Spelling Is every spelled right? 2: Correct Capitalization Is the item skills or spells uppercase ? Is everything else lowercase? 3: Puncuation Marks Is there a backsash before the action word? Is there quotation marks around the item/skill/ spelll? Is there arrow brakets around the target? 4: Waits in Between Actions Is there more than one action occuring? Is the wait inbetween actions long enough for each action to occur? 5: Translater Used for Group Communication is there going to be someone who doesn't speak your language in your party or in the area that needs to know what you are saying? |

| The Checklist |
| Writing macros can be easy as long as it kept simple in the beginning. First decide what you are trying to do: Are you casting magic? Using a weapon skill? Quickly communication with a party? Or simply using an item? All can be done and much more. For the example we will be casting a spell : Cure |
| Step 01: Title On the very top line, write what the macro is for. In this case its for casting cure on a another person so put something like Cure or CureU |
| Step 02: The Action or Chat Key Word On the next line place A backslash ( / ) followed by the key word. So for this one put /ma (which is short for magic) ** Use only lowercase for action words and no space between the ( / ) and word |
| Step 03: The Item or Skill or Spell Followings the action write the name of the the item/skill/spell capitalized and in quotation marks. so you would have /ma "Cure" |
| Step 04: The Target (if appicable) Following the item/skill/spell state the target weither it is the selected individual or mob or yourself or the name of the individual or mob. In this case it is the selected target which would be stated by this <t>. Your macros should now look like this /ma "Cure" <t> ** targets must be stated bewteen arrow brakets ( < > ) The Finished macro would be : Title: Cure Line 1 : /ma "Cure" <t> There now you have writen the basic macro.

| For Perfect macros and for troubleshooting use the list below to check your macros |
 |
| Advance Step : Notice for partys Adding a chat phase at the begining of your macro helps notify your party to what you are trying to do. Using the cure macro from above add a notice for the party. First select chat mode. In this case it is /party or /p. Next write your phase use the translater in possible: /p {Cure} Since you will want to inform who is being cured add the <t> to have it stated : /p {Cure} >>> <t> Now add it to your macro use a /wait 1 to the chat action from goofing up the casting. The finished Macro would be Title : Cure Line 1: /p {Cure} >>> <t> Line 2: /wait 1 Line 3: /ma "Cure" <t> |
