Archery skill up macro?

    1: Fill bags with arrows
    2: find target
    3: shot mans
    4: Proffit?

    All of that seems straightforward except for Step 2. In the macro warning sticky it says we can macro archery for skillups. Is there a training dummy anywhere or is there a better way?

    There is a veeshans peak key quest npc in warslik wood along the coast line, standing on a little island. High regen and rooted. That's who I used.

    Anyone have a link or can point me in the direction of the autofire macro syntax by chance? I'm playing a ranger and figure it will come in handy later on.

    If you are using Auto Hotkey script, it would be something like this:

    Loop

    {

    Send, 1

    Sleep, 1500

    }



    Esc::ExitApp


    This will press hotkey 1 every 1.5 seconds, then when you hit the escape key it will stop it. Change the 1500 to whatever timeframe you want, and the 1 to whatever hotkey your ranged is.

    Awesome, thanks Nakunaru! I'll give this a go. Thinking this is good for the casting skill ups as well.
    Thanks again, I appreciate it!

    Here's the script I've been using to practice.

    toggle = 0
    #MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2
    F7::
    Toggle := !Toggle
    While Toggle{
    send 8
    sleep, 3500
    if (Getkeystate("F11", "P"))
    break
    }
    return

    I have ranged attack on my 8 key. The F7 toggles whether the script is off or on. Hold F11 for a few seconds to force the script to end if something goes wrong. I throw that into all my scripts in case I mess up and get some overlap. Same script I use for Sense Heading skillups. Feel free to change the Sleep time to whatever's most efficient for you. Currently optimized for Sense Heading.

    I prefer the toggle as Esc::ExitApp forces the script to exit entirely so I have to go and look for it every time I want to turn it on. Not great if I wanna use it during a fight.

    Careful with that, sense heading is not allowed on the auto skill list.

    Sense heading and a few others are also easy to bind to a movement key.

    Ah! You are correct. I reread the macro thread and when it said macros were ok for skillups like foraging and spell casting, but macros for exp gain were banned I figured sense heading was ok. I've got it baked into each of my bard /stopsong macros anyway so it's a moot point here.

    I'd love to have it, I got few alts that are slacking.

    It took me about 3-1/2 hours of clicking to go from 1 to 200 when I was just relaxing watching a movie.

    For sense heading, forage, and tracking, I made a single macro.
    /doability 1
    /doability 2
    /doability 3
    Setup the three skills in the first three ability spots.
    Then mapped the 10th hot button to A & D keys.
    Skills them up without effort :)

    Thanks again for the hotkey macro Nakunaru. That has been super helpful in bringing up some neglected spell schools for me.
