Healthstones Addon/Macro

I've been wondering if this would be possible for a while now and I could not find a better place on these forums to post it than here.

In short I want a macro for Healthstones. So that I can have one button instead of three. Also it would use the highest rank one first then the second and finally the third.

Do you know if this is possible to do with macros or would I require an addon. Its just a bit annoying having to have three healthstones as buttons.

Thanks guys!

Assigning one button with "Autobar" works.

/Use container 1,12 etc may also work, but you have to put your healthstones allways to the same positions in your bag.

A macro like this should work I think if you don't mind error message spam.

/use hs1
/use hs2
/use hs3

Where hs# is the name of the Healthstone of course.

Autobar has had the nasty problem of not updating the button mid combat since 2.0, so that won't work unfortunately.

Isnt the problem with that macro that all healthstones have the same name, and thus it will randomly pick one? (not that thats a big problem though, just checking)

They are all named "Master Healthstone" so a simple
#showtooltip
/use Master Healthstone
will do exactly what you need.

On a related note, I'm trying to figure out how to make one macro to use all of my mana gems on my mage. Right now I have:

#showtooltip
/use Mana Emerald
/use Mana Ruby
/use Mana Citrine

This works out alright in function, but it annoys me that the icon remains at Mana Emerald 0 even if I use the Emerald and have a Ruby/Citrine sitting in my bags. Is there any way to have the icon update to whatever the highest gem is?

/castsequence works for items as well, so you could just go for:

/castsequence Master Healthstone, Super Healing Potion

Of course, it'd never reach the Super Healing Potion part if you don't have a Master Healthstone to use, so use with caution. You probably also want to add something like reset=combat or reset=120 to it.

The /castsequence posted by Chicken just below you should do the trick.

Make the macro icon to be the red ? with the black background. This dynamically changes the macro icon in your toolbar to change depending on which spell/item is next.

That doesn't work actually. If you have many /casts in a row it'll always show the icon of the first one. What does work is using that icon and doing this with your macro:

/castsequence reset=combat Mana Emerald, Mana Ruby, Mana Citrine

This will use each gem in order from most mana to least mana recovered, and will reset to the first gem after combat ends (Based on the assumption that when combat ends you'll be re-conjuring your gems).

What order does it use the healthstones in though?

Highest to lowest?

Or is it based on the position in your bags?

EDIT: Confirmed that the order the stones are used is based on their position in your bags.

99% sure it's bag position.

As for using the Question Mark icon, that's what I've been doing. Chickeni s right that it just takes the first spell/item in the sequence, though. it also doesn't remember the item in between sessions, so until you conjure/are given the item again the macro has the question mark icon instead of the item itself.

I'd suggest adding a few other items to your healthstone macro if you have the option - I end up running with:

#showtooltip
/use Master Healthstone
/use Charged Crystal Focus
/use Nightmare Seed

Carrying around a few charged crystal foci and nightmare seeds means that for the button I've got set up for this macro, I'll always get a minimum of 2k health back even if I run out of healthstones.

This may sound really stupid, but I'm trying to find the icon that looks like the healthstone to make this macro, and I just cannot find it. Is there a better way to do this than just go through the list one by one?

There isn't a really good way to find the exact icon that I've found, other then just skimming through the list. One solution is to use the red question mark icon (see the end of this post) then the icon will dynamically change to whatever the item or spell is that it will be using. If you don't have any healthstones in your inventory then the macro will show up as the question mark icon again, which may be a handy reminder that you're missing one.

Here's the icon, it should be the first one in the list:

Thank you. That works for just healthstones, but if I use the

#showtooltip
/use Master Healthstone
/use Charged Crystal Focus
/use Nightmare Seed

macro a few posts before, it showed the ? even if I had Charged Crystal Focus in my inventory, but not healthstones. It's not a big deal really. It's a bit silly we can't just drag and drop an inventory icon to make a macro with.

When you use #showtooltip, it is going to show the tooltip of the first spell or item listed, even if you do not have it.

So if you wanted to use this macro without having the ? when you have no HS, you could change the macro's icon to something else.

Hi all, I'm sorry to bump this thread, but I couldn't make a new one.

I got a macro question and this was the best thread to ask about it, so here we go ..

I'm looking for two macro's. One, that should be like this: Use Master Healthstone, if it's on CD or not available, use Cenarion Healing Salve or Bottled Nethergon Energy (depends if I'm in SSC or TK), if those are on CD or not available, use Super Mana Potion.

The other macro I'm looking for is: Use Conjured Croissant, if not available, use Telaari Grapes, for example.

Thanks, Romario.

I think that just using multiple /use should do it, given that those potions are on the same cooldown.

/use Cenarion Healing Salve
/use Bottled Nethergon Energy
/use whatever_potion_you_like
Oh, and don't sign your posts


[Edit] there is already a quite good topic about macros here, is this one really needed ? :-/

The macro I use is:

/use item:22105
/use item:22104
/use item:22103
/use Charged Crystal Focus

It uses the best ranked Master Healthstone down to the lowest rank and then a Crystal Focus if you have no healthstones. Pretty sure that is what you were looking for.

This is the macro I use as well. If you like, you can also add the Zone-Specific Health Pots to the list if you use them.
