Auto inventory forage?Follow

Yes there is.

To do this, first, make a hotkey for your forage ability. DO NOT simply drag the hotkey from your abilities window. In fact, if you have a hotbutton from your abilities window in your hotbutton screen, pick it up and "drop" it to get rid of it. You won't need it.

Now, type the following:

/hotbutton foraging

A hotbutton named "foraging" should appear on your mouse. Drop it in your hotbuttons window wherever you normally keep your forage button.

Now, open your Actions menu, and look at your abilities in the second tab. Figure out which of the 6 non-combat ability buttons is your usual forage button. They should be numbered like this--
1 2
3 4
5 6
--so if the one that says "forage" is the third one on the right, it is ability #6.

Now, right click on the "foraging" hotbutton you just made in your hotbuttons window, to open the screen where you edit the contents of the macro.

In the first line, type:
/doability #
--where you replace # with the number of the forage ability you just looked up in your options window. i.e. /doability 6 or /doability 3, etc.

In the second line, type:
/pause 10
(this will create a 1 second delay in the macro)

In the third line, type:
/autoinventory
(this will drop whatever you have foraged in the first open slot in your inventory or bags. Make sure you have plenty of food and drink stocked in your first bag, so that you aren't eating things you want to keep.)

Now, go into your Options window. Click on the tab that says "Keyboard" and then select "Macros" from the drop-down box.

Find the hotbutton that is your foraging hotbutton. Beside it, there should be two columns. The first is a number. The second is blanks.

Click in the SECOND column beside the hotbutton that is your foraging hotbutton on the list, and it will say "Press a Key"

Press your forward arrow button, or your left or right arrow button. Then close this window.

Now, every time you move forward (or turn left or right if you chose that instead) if your forage ability is refreshed, you will...

1) Automatically attempt to forage
2) Pause 1 second
3) Drop whatever you have foraged into your inventory.

Then, just go through your packs once in a while, destroy whatever you don't need, bank whatever you do need, and keep on foraging!

Good luck, hope this helps.

WOW that was incredibly helpful! You are so smart Ambrya =). I set that all up on my little ranger I have now and am loving it.

Thank you Ambrya. I followed Ambrya's advise and as a ranger, after that added a line for tracking. Oh, btw I have pause set to 3, which seems long enough.

I also have one for when not fighting that forages, autoinventories, tracks, and adds sneak (this can slow you NOT good for fighting)that I swap out.

Keeps all these skills maxed painlessly and lets you forage constantly. With the bazaar price of veggies at 10pp each now it is well worth it.

Am going to set this up on my Bard, but this will also let me format a hotkey for my Bard's & Rogue's Disarm Trap and Sense Trap since neither requires a trap anymore to advance the skill. It's nice of you to literall spell out how to do this, Sony has yet to be this informational on how to make hotbuttons, well at least not publically.

Now I just need to learn how to link eqrankings to posts.

Yes that part is annoying, I just turn it on and off on the options menu.

wow a 10 year necro post is this a record?

Your right he did contribute to the thread in a positive way. And it doesnt bother me necro posting, most the time i find it gives me a chuckle
