Macros

There are two sets of macro shortcuts in Legends: Speech and Skill / Spell. Using them will greatly increase your speed in both conversation and battle.

Speech Macros

There are 10 possible speech macros, which consists of sentences you pre-program to activate at a touch of a button. They use the number keys 0 - 9. You must be in the "chat window" to use this set of macros.

The chat window is accessible by clicking the Speech icon .

To pre-program your speech macros, click on the Options icon , then click on the 'MACRO' button. Edit the appropriate lines corresponding to the macro key.

Many people use speech macros to minimize typing necessary requests during battle. For example, warriors often have speech macros calling for "Armachd, Fas, Bean" or curse removal. Instead of having to stop fighting long enough to type 18 letters they can type 3 : one to switch to the chat window (see "Keyboard Shortcuts"), one for the macro, and the last to switch back to their skill menu. Others use speech macros for repeated phrases they find themselves using around town, such as "Greetings Aisling."

Skills and Spell Macros

These macros work identically, but are two separate sets as they are two separate screens. You may set up to 10 macros for skills and for spells each (20 in total). The following example will demonstrate setting spell macros and using them. The skill macros are set and used in the same way.

To set and use Spell macros:

1. Go to the Spell window, by clicking on the Spell icon .
2. Arrange the spells you wish to assign macros
   - Click and drag  the spells to fill the first 10 spell slots on the screen.
   - Each slot represents a number from the upper row on the keyboard (although you can also use the numeric keypad to access the macros.) For example:

   	Spells you wish to macro
   The number you will press to activate the macro

3. While still in this screen, pressing the number keys will cast the desired spell.

Conclusion

Remember that you have only 10 slots, and experiment with the setup to find what works best for you and your hunting style. Some things to consider are the order in which you cast spells or use skills, or mistakes you sometimes make : for example, if you are a priest who routinely accidentally curses people, you may wish to have "remove curse" handy.
