Consumable macro problem due to rank?

Guides UI and Macro
1

so dragonflight introduced the new “rank” of items like healing pots etc. making a macro to use for example “refreshing healing potion” no longer cuts it. I have 60 of them but theyre rank 2, and evidently using the item name by itself defaults to rank 1. its greyed out/shows me as having 0 due to such.

I assume theres a conditional or way to dictate which rank you want the macro to use? (even though thats cumbersome in and of itself bud id argue its better than having it show you as having none)

Bumping this. Having the same problem. Macros ignore higher quality consumables

Shift-click the item while in the macro interface (like you would if you were linking it in chat).

Tried this, does not work. There is no difference between the two.

Mine works now. I didn’t change anything, but the only potions in by bag were Refreshing Healing Pootion rank 2, once I hit the macro, it used a potion and updated the tooltip.

I made sure to remove the quality versions I didn’t need from my bags.
Then I logged off and logged back in, and when I checked the macro it was now set to the correct quality I wanted (which was the only version that was in my bags).

Hope this helps!

Kind of works. Only one rank of healing/mana potions in my bags. Exit game completely and back in makes the mana potions work but the healing ones dont. As soon as I logged out and back in it breaks.

Try

/use item:item_id

Grab em from the url on wowhead.

Thanks Elvenbane! That works!

For my potion+healthstone macro, instead of:

#showtooltip
/use [nomod:shift] Refreshing Healing Potion
/use Healthstone

I’m changing it to:

#showtooltip
/use [nomod:shift] item:191380
/use Healthstone

where “item:191380” is the Quality-3 version of the Refreshing Healing Potion. :smiley:

I’m glad you like it.

Press Shift to see how many charges of Warlock candy you have left. Else just press the macro and it will first use the item:191380 (Refreshing Healing Potion; quality 3). If your health is still not full, then it will use the Warlock candy.

So I have had a macro for a while that is a castsequence for potion then healthstone, and it doesn’t work with an item ID. Any real solution here?

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=300 Refreshing Healing Potion, Healthstone

It shows I have no pot

Just want to give big credit for this. Exactly what I needed! Thank you!

/castsequence reset=300/combat item:191380, Healthstone

This is my macro so I only have to press a single button without a mod for both healing pots during a raid encounter, and since healthstones can only be used once per combat, and pots every 5 mins, this will reset as soon as the pot is off cd each time and prioritize using it first. The only downside to this is if you die and get ressed, it resets. My Theory is if you press your pots, you shouldn’t die though :wink: lol

Could add a complex modifier press to the resets. At least I assume they support “and” modifiers.

I didn’t see a recent thread for this. I am having trouble with the TWW Jumper Cables.

My macro.

#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover,help,dead,combat] [help,dead,combat] Convincingly Realistic Jumper Cables; [@mouseover,help,dead] [help,dead] Ultimate Gnomish Army Knife; [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [] Tranquilizing Shot

It works for Rank 1 cables but not Rank 2 or 3. I have also tried to replace with item id and that did not work as well.

Any known workarounds?

use item:itemid instead of the name.

I tried itemid and that still didn’t work for Rank 2 or 3
