Harvesting buttons

[Jess_Spark]

It's kind of a pain to click click click thru the harvest you want...is there a way to drag the material you are trying to get to a button or create a macro for it? I was unable to find hardly anything on macros in this game...

Fishing is easy because it uses all keyboard buttons...

You can click once and use (default) numpad0 to harvest the last selected item.

Oh cool...thanks! I will try that.

How is hitting the Num0 key different from repeatedly clicking the icon? In fact, it's more work if you have to move your hand back and forth between your mouse and keyboard.

I seem to get mouse lag...using the keyboard would be easier even if it was only part of the harvest. I noticed when I'm at a node I am there longer than everyone else..probably because they knew this trick.

I use a gamepad when gathering. Walk up- mash X, move on.

Interesting. I'll have to test that out.

If it is indeed quicker this way, I can program one of my mouse buttons as the Num0 key and set to auto-repeat. So basically I click once on the item then hold the programmed button down. =)

Hey, you know that some of us have two hands! That means we can put one hand on the mouse, AND, WAIT FOR IT... one hand on the keyboard.

This should be an option, if you prefer to click, be a clicker, i prefer to press.

Can you macro this? something like

/ac "Swing Pick"
/wait 1
/ac "Swing Pick"
/wait 1

and so on? I don't know what the actual term is for the "Swing Pick" part...


Whoops, never mind. I just realized would be a way to abuse the system with a bot... guess it's back to clicking for me
