Default Macros

The game has a lot of internal macros that you might make use of while building your own custom macros.

Any time you see <target> that means you can use a targetish when using the macro. A targetish is something that will identify the creature. It can be either the UUID (this is what the UI uses), or a part of the creatures name. So, if you have a creature named Adacen, you could use either a, ada, or adacen (or many others). The more specific you are, the better chance you have of not targetting something with a similar name on your screen.

Beware: Macros will not work when:

  • The bank window is open
  • The command line window is active
  • Any modal is open (options, macro group editor, macro editor, etc)

Macros

Default Macros

These are macros built into the game, some added to your default hotbar.

If a macro says that it “supports instant use”, that means you can pre-pend a ~ to make the macro happen instantly, for example: use will use an item in a round, but ~use will use the item instantly.

Advanced Macro Substitutions

Macro substitutions can be used to find creatures that meet a certain criteria for macro targetting. For example, healing the weakest player, or attacking the farthest NPC (potentially a runner). These can be used in any macro that targets a creature, such as with chase $farthest or cast magicmissile $randomnpc.

Here is a full listing of each substitution:

Substitution Description
$target Replace with the targetted NPC. This is particularly useful for macros or commands that take a target in the middle of their command, rather than afterwards (as is the case with almost everything).
$firstnpc Replace with the first possible NPC.
$firstplayer Replace with the first possible player (excluding yourself).
$first Replace with the first possible creature.
$randomnpc Replace with a random NPC.
$randomplayer Replace with a random player.
$random Replace with a random creature.
$strongestnpc Replace with the strongest NPC (by HP).
$strongestplayer Replace with the strongest player (by HP).
$strongest Replace with the strongest creature (by HP).
$weakestnpc Replace with the weakest NPC (by HP).

$closestnpc Replace with the closest NPC.
$closestplayer Replace with the closest player.

Suggested Macros

There are a lot of interesting combinations you can work with while making macros in Land of the Rair. Some of my favorites are these:

  • ~LtG; steal (drop left item on ground, then steal)
  • ~LtG; mug (drop left item on ground, then mug)
  • take bottle from sack (take a bottle from sack)
  • take heal from sack (take an item with “heal” in the name, from sack)
  • take bottle;use right;place bottle (take the first bottle from your sack, use it, then put it away)
  • cast heal $weakestplayer (cast heal at the weakest player)
