This post is not hunter specific, but it’s something I’d been meaning to share for awhile…

My Handy Dandy Fishing Macro

#showtooltip Fishing
/equip Mastercraft Kalu’ak Fishing Pole
/equip Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/use Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/use Fishing
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Yes folks… I have a macro for just about everything. 😉

While this may seem needless and a bit silly, it’s actually quite practical. This macro takes care of many tasks…

Macro Equip Trinket Slot

  • It equips all of my fishing gear.
  • It automatically applies a lure when the buff falls off.
  • It casts my fishing pole.
Equip

Like set up equipment sets aside from your base ones just for weapon swapping. Set them to ignore every slot but weapon, tabard, shirt Pacifier 1 + shirt Pacifier 2 + tabard Pacifier 3 If you have empty slots it should equip/unequip based on those swap equip sets. Here is a list of the item slot numbers for your character: Head = 1 Neck = 2 Shoulders = 3 Body = 4 (shirt) Chest = 5 Waist = 6 Legs = 7 Feet = 8 Wrist = 9 Hand = 10 Finger1 = 11 Finger2 = 12 Trinket1 = 13 Trinket2 = 14 Back = 15 Mainhand = 16 Offhand = 17 Tabard = 19. Here is a graphical explaination of your character's item slot numbers. You should have a set that ONLY has 2 weapons to equip, and all other slots ignored (ignore all ur gear to prevent lag when u press the macro, after all this is a weapon macro) you can now use /equipset WEPS DUALWIELD instead of the /equip MH /equip OH, or /Clickactionbar macro, this works ALOT better and faster.

Pressing the macro for the first time will equip your fishing gear and apply a lure. After that, the macro will simply cast your fishing line. When your lure wears off, the macro will automatically reapply it when needed. There are a couple of other lines in there to mute the error spam (fishing lure not ready yet, etc.), but still allow you to still hear the whiz of the fishing reel, as well as the splash of water when you have a fish on the line.

The macro just basically makes it really easy to toss on all of your +fishing gear, equip your pole, and never forget to keep your fishing lure buff applied. Nothing super fancy, but a space-saving convenience macro nonetheless. It’s a one-button solution for fishing. 🙂

Those of you who like to do a little fishing now and again – you should try it. Be sure to replace or add any additional pieces of equipment if your fishing gear differs from mine.

Wow Macro Equip Bag Slot

I created it a few months ago when I started going after the Blacktip Shark. I haven’t had any luck catching it yet, but at least the event caused me to script this macro. 😉
