Hey there, guys!
This is Reckles with WTBGold and I have an improvement to a previous video that I talked
about.
A macro, an AFK farming macro.
If you're a fan of the channel, you know that I tend to put my best tips in old content
farming guides rather than current content farming stuff.
My theory on this is that everyone's gonna watch the current content stuff anyways.
They want to know the best way to farm...whatever, but they may not necessarily want to watch
the old stuff, so it's a little incentive.
Go watch all my videos.
You know.
That's my goal as a youtuber.
One of the videos that I put out recently was Warbear Leather farming and it had this
really cool macro.
Go watch that video to find out the ins and outs of why everything exists, but essentially,
what it does: it targets an enemy.
It puts a target marker on em.
And then it throws your instant cast ability.
And that's more or less it.
It helps you take your eyes away from the screen and automates some of the thing so
you can just watch youtube videos or talk in discord or whatever you want to do.
But!
There were three problems with it that y'all helped me fix over the past week.
First one.
The goal of the target marker was to show you where something is in relation to you
so you didn't have to think about finding the nearest enemy.
If the enemy was to your left or to your right or behind you or up or down, you didn't know.
So, amouramarie asked if there was some way to incorporate tom tom into this and we can
do one better.
Thanks to draga for figuring this one out.
If you use the addon FarmHUD, generally you use this addon for herbalism or mining because
it turns your minimap into this big heads-up display, this big transparent glowing thing
where you can see each node really well.
It also puts your focus on the heads up display so now it shows you whether it's to your left
or your right or behind you, and it also shows up or down by a little triangle above and
below the node.
So this solved that problem.
Just download the addon farmHUD and that'll take care of it.
The only customization you need to do for that is go into the game menu, go to interface,
addons, farmHUD, keybind options, and then keybind the farmhud display.
I bind it to tilde which is the number just to the left of 1.
The next problem we had was that the macro works great in onsey-twosey farms with stationary
enemies, but when you have a bunch of enemies with the same name in a group and especially
if that group is moving, so for instance the Stone Drakes in Deepholm, then the enemy that's
nearest to you changes over time.
So what you end up doing is you end up following around one enemy and just wasting time chasing
after things and you don't want to do that.
Ezpz fix.
Go into the macro and add /cleartarget all one word at the start of the macro.
So this resets your targeting every time you press the button, so every time you press
the macro you're always targeting the nearest thing to you.
It might take a little bit of time to get used to it, but it's better.
Now the final thing is honestly just for all my friends with OCD out there.
The line "/targetmarker 6" or whatever marker you're using, it acts as a toggle, so it puts
it on.
It takes it off.
Target marker.
No target marker.
Target marker.
No target marker.
You're blinking.
I don't want a blinking enemy.
I just want him to have a target marker over his head.
So, what we do is we add /tm [@focus] 9.
The target markers are 1-8.
9 is the null value.
It's no target marker.
So it's doing the same thing as clear target.
Every time you press the button, it's removing the target marker and putting it on.
It's just always on.
It stops blinking.
I can finally sleep at night.
And that's it.
That's all I have for this video so real quick.
Thank you for watching.
I appreciate all of y'all's love and support.
I hope this helped.
Share it with your friends!
Hit the like button.
That really helps me out.
Also I stream on twitch if you didn't know.
But that's it.
Thanks for watching.
Have a great day, guys.
Good luck and happy gold making.
