Item use macro help

[Cheppietan]

Hi All,

I'm in need of help using an item for a macro.

I've seen some guides online and I tried to follow them but the macro I came up with isn't working. I hope someone could lend a hand and help me check what needs to be corrected for it to work.

The name name is :Magicked Prism (Flowers)
I've placed it on Hotbar 7 slot 8 and I came up with this macro

/hotbar item "Magicked Prism (Flowers)" 7  8

But it doesn't respond when I try to use it. Hope someone would be able to help. TIA

You can't integrate items into macros.
As much as i know this option worked in 1.0 and even in the Beta of ARR but for now it is not usable.

The in-game macro system does not have a feature that allows you to use an item. You would have to actually activate the hotbar button. You can set the button's keybind to whatever you like, but you still have to actually push the associated button(s) yourself.

The /hotbar command edits your hotbar; it does not use an item.

Here's the official guide:
