Press “o” (default) to bring up the “Socials” dialogue, then click on the “Macros” tab.   You can store up to 50 macros here, and drag them down to your hotbar for quick access.


Hit (Click to Edit) to get started! New commands must be on a new line, example :
/bow
/say Goodbye!!
/bye

Will make your character bow, then say "Goodbye!!”, then wave goodbye.


Note that a macro is executed all at once.  That means simply that when you hit the button for this macro:
/useability buff1
/useability buff2
/gsay You’re buff!
You immediately begin casting buff1, queue buff2, and simultaneously announce “You’re buff!”  At this point, there’s no way to add pauses.  
Want to spice up your chat and macroed socials and dialogue with some COLOR? (NOTE: as of 2.28.05 this only seems to be working on the European servers). Just surround the portion of the dialogue with standard HTML color designations, using a "/" as the on-switch and "\" as the off switch. For example: /#ff0000 HEALER DOWN!! \#ff0000 puts this important message in red, hopefully catching the attention of your groupmates. Heres a few common colors, note that some will be hard to see depending on what user interface settings your audience is using. #FF0000 = red #0000FF = blue #008000 = green #00FF00 = lime #FF00FF = magenta #FFFF00 = yellow
