ringwar.mac - 10th Ring War Macro

Stargazer · Post by **Stargazer** » Mon Oct 07, 2002 2:29 am

This macro is for people who participate in the 10th Ring War in Great Divide. It simply calls out the direction of the next spawn wave directly to the chat channel being used for the event. This prevents trackers and spotters from missing when the next wave of giants is approaching. Any comments and improvements would be appreciated.

| it is also important that you remain at the central staging location

Thanks, I usually get the job of running our guilds 10th War, and even though I assign rangers to the job, I end up calling the spawns faster than they do...

Now I definitely will. Muahahaha.

Spectacular work! This could be modded to do pretty much any spawn where farming is done(ie LGuk for nameds)!

Again, spectacular work!

btw does this still work right? i havent got to test it in an actuly ring war yet but i tryed it in PoT and it called the warlord was east then shuts down the marco is it pose to shut it down after every call?

It always shut down for me when I used it in the actual ring wars.. It has to, as there are more than just 1 mob up.. if it kept cycling looking for Kromriff Warrior, it would constantly find them until the last corpse had been looted.
