Macro

How to creat an in-game macro
Everquest2 has imposed a limitation on the amount of active command steps an in-game macro can have. This means that you can only have two active combat spells that work in a macro. Other actions are unlimited, so what this means is you can equip more than two pieces of equipment but you can only do two combat spells in one macro.
To create a macro, you'll need to navigate to your "Macro" window. You can reach this by clicking the EQII button on the left end of your experience bar, then select "Socials". This will bring up a small window with two tabs "Emotes" and "Macros". Select the "Macros" tab. If this is your first macro, click the " <Click to edit> link.
This will bring up an "Edit Macro #1" window.
1. In the first box under Macro Name, type in a name for this macro. It can be anything you want to help you identify what the macro does.
2. Using the teardrop buttons that are to the left and right of the Icon picture, click the teardrops to flip through multiple icon pics. Choose an icon picture that might help you remember what the macro does. This picture will end up on your hotbar so try to pick something that relates.
From here you can complete the next action in two different ways. One method seems simpler because it just requires you to open your knowledge/skill book or inventory bag and drag a icon picture to the blank area below the "Macro Step" section.
The second method requires you to select one of the four choices offered in the Macro Step section using the "down teardrop button".
3. If you click the "down teardrop" button on the "Macro Step" line, a drop down window will appear giving you the option to choose between "Command, Spell/Ability, Equip Item or Use Item. For this example choose "Equip Item" and click the "ADD STEP" button. This will place the action in the blank area below the "Macro Step" area. You'll still have to drag the applicable icon picture into the blank icon picture spot.
4. After you've dragged the icon pic to the area below Macro Step, you can select one of the four bottom buttons, TEST, CLEAR, OK or CANCEL. You MUST click OK to save your work. Once you've clicked OK the newly created macro will appear in the Socials > Macros window. Drag the icon picture for the macro you just created onto any preferred hotbar and click the hotbar icon to use.
