It can only be 10 letters with spaces. 3) Next you can add a short description of what your new macro will do. 4) Select an Icon to represent the Macro when you place it in your QuickBar. 5) Add the actions you wish to achieve. 6) Save your new Macro.

Tips

-Dragging a skill, function, emotion, Quickbar or item icons onto the Enter Macro Command box of the Edit Macro Window enters the command automatically - You cannot enter another macro within a macro. - Some commands may require sufficient cooldown time between the execution of commands. - Macros are stopped when there is not enough MP or HP to execute a skill, or when there is no target. - You can use the Example tab to see how you can use commands. - You cannot use macro commands in the Chat window. - You can Cut & Paste from an external program such as Notepad. So, even though you can only have 12 built macros, you can quickly and easily switch them out if you store your Macros. -Macros built on one character will NOT carry over to a new or different character.
