ok, can anayone tell me wat they put as macros? cuz i dont kno wat to put ^^

Depends on your class and what you want to use them for.

The most normal is to have wts/wtb and /target macros I guess. Also making a pvp bar where you make all your skills forced.
i wanna become a overlord. thx
Buff macro:
drag buffs you usually buff to macro slots

Assist macro:
/target %party1 (or insert name of MA)
/assist

Change armor macro for buffing and fighting:
drag your armor parts to hotbar
drag hotbar shortcuts to macro rows

Stun macro if you use main weapon other than blunt:
drag some sort of blunt (even no-grade) to hotbar, drag your current fighting weapon to hotbar
drag shortcut for blunt
/useskill stun
drag your current fighting weapon to macro row

Drain with magic weapon with sps loaded:
drag mage weapon to hotbar
drag spiritshot top hotbar
drag your meelee weapon to hotbar
drag mage weapon shortcut to macro
drag sps shortcut to macro
/useskill Steall Essence (or however it is called)
drag meelee weapon to macro

Just a suggestions.
During the Easter event, I created a target macro to help me find the Rabbits. :D
crawlerin... i hav NO idea wat ur talkin about :eek: lol
ok when you make a toon the fist thing you make is a pickup macro
/pickup
/pickup
/pickup

if you are a melee you want a target next macro
/target next
/attack
You asked about some macros and wrote you are an overlord. So I gave few examples for macros that could suit overlords. Or it's not the thing you want to know? What other macros do you have in mind?

How to make macro:
- Open Options menu (alt + x)
- Choose Macro
- Press Add button
- Name it, give it 4-letters acronym if you wish, change icon if you wish, drag or type commands to rows.
- Press OK and drag macro icon to your hotbar if needed.
- to edit macro, drag it's icon to button depicting tools
Macro system itself has pretty good help to consult with.

Note: use of external programs to automate gameplay for you is bannable.
I've got an additional question, Is it possible to make a macro to make SS? I dont have alot of time to play, and as much as I love crafting....Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry I do not think so :(
AFAIK only way to do a craft is click Craft button, which you cannot somewhat emulate by ingame means.
Alrighty, thanks. I know there are ways to do it (naughty ways) I was just hoping there is a way to do it right, in game. If anyone knows, please give a hollar. Thanks
there isnt sorry
you can only do it with out of game means (banable)
no the only thing you can do is drag the icon to a hotkey and craft the things you want to craft without looking at the whole craftbook.

Why do you have this macro? Just set the pickup icon directly on the main hotbar and hold the button down. It's incredibly faster than a macro.

Some people want to use macro's for practically everything, Id push F1 down till all drops are collected as well.

yup F key is faster but it doesnt hurt to be able to pickup while you are afk (well only 9 times but still)
i also have 2 accounts so i can have them both pick up at the same time
