[Macro] New Server/DK - Speed Farming.

[gezus]

So .. new server? .. Perhaps you rolled a DK? ..

I just rolled a DK on a PVP server, and gold is definitely an issue atm. However I have come to save the day ..

/run if not THO then local f,t,c=CreateFrame("Frame","THO"),1,0 f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(_, e) c=c+e if c>3 then c=0 SetTracking(t) if t==1 then t=2 else t=1 end end end) THO:Hide() end
/run if THO:IsVisible() then THO:Hide() else THO:Show() end

^^ Make that Macro and your tracking will automatically cycle between Mining/Herbing on a 3 second timer. (You can also have it cycle Hunter tracking as well. but I am too lazy, and this is for farming.) I went fro 0/0 Miner/Herbalist to 300/300 in about 5'ish hours.

Press once to start. Press it again to make it stop, and in no time you will be well on your way to riches beyond your wildest dreams :P

** Bonus Tip ** Never .. EVER, go to the AH on your leveling toon. ALWAYS send everything to your AH/Bank Alt. You would be surprised how much time you spend in there.

*Edit - Awe Crap just saw this was the wrong section.. Oh well now it's a how to make a mining/herbing auto cycling macro thread*

Yeah there is another addon called "Spotter" .. does the same thing.... However, I already have like 50 billion addons running .. so for me it was about simplicity. Also .. for some reason Spotter wont reactivate when you mount as a DK. but only as a DK .. works fine for any other class.

Works! Great macro and tested it on a live server.

At the moment that macro is switching between Find Fish and Find Herbs on my character.
Any Idea how to change it to find herbs / minerals rather than fish?

^^ Try that?

Lemmie know, either way :P

[Damare0]

Working like a charm now.
Thanks.

I'll be using this definately... +rep

[snowman555]

+rep since i was literally just about to start leveling my mages mining/herbing seperatley so it would have been double the time.

So, I thought I would take a sec and try to explain how to get the macro to track other things ie:Hunter tracking.

/run if not THO then local f,t,c=CreateFrame("Frame","THO"),1,0 f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(_, e) c=c+e if c>3 then c=0 SetTracking(t) if t==2 then t=3 else t=2 end end end) THO:Hide() end
/run if THO:IsVisible() then THO:Hide() else THO:Show() end

^^ The numbers in red represent "where" on your tracking menu said thing you want to track is located, hence the fact that if it's a new toon mining and herbalism take up the first and second slot in the list. However "If" you have fish tracking "it" becomes the #1 spot and you have to change the macro to swap the #2 & 3 spots instead.

Therefore if you would like it to swap between hunter tracking just change the "red ^^" numbers to the corresponding numbers from the tracking menu. ie: Assuming that you list reads as follows...

Track fish = 1
Mining = 2
Herbalism = 3
Track Humanoids = 4
Track Beasts = 5
Track Hidden = 6
Track Demon = 7

Using the "pretend" chart above .. ets say you would like the macro to swap between tracking Hidden and Humanoids you would change the macro like ..

/run if not THO then local f,t,c=CreateFrame("Frame","THO"),1,0 f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(_, e) c=c+e if c>3 then c=0 SetTracking(t) if t==4 then t=6 else t=4 end end end) THO:Hide() end
/run if THO:IsVisible() then THO:Hide() else THO:Show() end

You can also add more things fro this to track, I havn't had time to get it working but assume that if you just add extra "then t=3 else t=2 " with corresponding numbers to the abilities you would like it to track.

Good luck :P
