29 macros

Add a Friend
General
```
/Friend Character Name
```
Adds a character to your friends list so you can see when they come online without searching for them.
Assist and Announce
General
```
/Select Tank Name
/Skill Select Target's Target
/Group Assisting on [%Target] now.
/Attack
```
Selects the tank, takes their target, tells the group what you are switching to, and opens the attack. The announcement is what keeps a whole group on the same mob.
Assist Another Healer
General
```
/Select [%Variable1]
/Skill Select Target's Target
/Skill Your Heal Name
/Select [%PreviousTarget]
```
Selects the main healer, jumps to whoever they are healing, casts your own heal, then returns you to your previous target. Replace the heal with your own — the surrounding lines do the work.
Assist the Puller
General
```
/Select Puller Name
/Delay 1
/Skill Select Target’s Target
```
Targets the player doing the pulling by name, waits briefly for their target to register, then assists onto it. The delay matters — without it you assist before they have a target.
Assist Your Stored Target
General
```
/Select [%Variable1]
/Skill Select Target's Target
```
Selects the player you saved with the assist macro and then picks up whatever they are attacking. This is how a damage group stays focused on one mob without anyone calling targets out loud.
Change a Channel Leader
General
```
/ChangeChannelLeader [77] [Character Name]
```
Hands channel administration to another character. Worth keeping ready before you log off if you are the one holding the channel open.
Channel Information
General
```
/ChannelInformation
```
Prints the current channel's name, number and member list, which is the quickest way to check whether anyone is actually listening.
Create and Join a Channel
General
```
/CreateChannel [Virakar] [77]
/JoinChannel [Virakar] [77]
```
Creates a custom chat channel and joins it in one press. Legion alliances and siege groups run on these because they survive across groups and alliances.
Enemy Spotted Alert
General
```
/ChannelNotification [Virakar] ASMODIAN SPOTTED
```
The most useful channel macro in the game: one key that tells your whole legion an enemy faction player has been seen. Keep one per zone you defend.
Enter Flight Mode
General
```
/Flight
```
Takes off. Flight is on a timer and only works in flight-enabled zones, so binding it to a key you can reach in a hurry is worth doing.
Gather Aether
General
```
/Skill Extract Aether
```
The aether-node counterpart to Extract Vitality. Aether gathering happens in flight, where menu-hunting costs you flight time.
Gather Vitality
General
```
/Skill Extract Vitality
```
Fires the Extract Vitality gathering skill without hunting for it on your bars, which matters when you are gathering hundreds of nodes.
Group and Alliance Chat
General
```
/Group Pulling in 3
/Alliance Move to the south gate
```
Posts to your group with /p, or to the whole alliance with /a. During a siege the alliance channel is the only one anyone is really reading.
Look Up a Character
General
```
/Who Character Name
```
Searches for a character and shows the result in the Search tab of the Social window, including their class, level and legion.
Morph Substances
General
```
/Skill Morph Substances
```
Opens the Morph Substances window for turning lower-tier materials into higher-tier ones, straight from a quickbar slot.
Post to a Custom Channel
General
```
/ChannelNotification [Virakar]
```
Sends a notification to a named channel, which every member sees regardless of which group or alliance they are currently in.
Potion into Skill
General
```
/Item Major Healing Potion
/Delay 1
/Skill Your Skill Name
```
Drinks a potion and immediately continues your rotation. /Item takes the item name exactly as it appears in your inventory, and it obeys the same delay rules as a skill.
Request a Duel
General
```
/Duel
```
Challenges your current target to a duel. Ignored if they have duel requests turned off, which many people do in cities.
Return to Bind Point
General
```
/Skill Return
```
Casts Return, teleporting you to your bind point. The quickest way out of a zone once you have finished with it.
Roll for Loot
General
```
/Roll 100
```
Rolls a number in a chosen range, defaulting to 1 through 1000. Only works while you are in a group or alliance.
Say and Shout
General
```
/Say Ready when you are
/Shout Group forming for the fortress siege
```
Speaks to players immediately around you, or shouts to everyone in a wider radius. /s and /y are the short forms worth learning.
Set an Assist Target
General
```
/Variable 1 [%Target]
```
Stores a player in a macro variable so other macros can refer to them. Set your tank or main healer once and every assist macro you own points at them until you log out or overwrite it.
Solo Skill Chain with Auto-Attack
General
```
/Automatic Selection
/Skill First Skill Name
/Delay 1.5
/Skill Second Skill Name
/Delay 1.5
/Attack
```
+1 more
Picks up a target, runs a short chain, and drops back into auto-attack when it finishes. Keep chains to three or four skills — a macro stops dead the moment one skill has no target or you run out of MP.
Swap a Whole Gear Set
General
```
/Variable 0 Archon Brigade General's
/Use #Variable 0 Tunic
/Use #Variable 0 Leggings
/Use #Variable 0 Gloves
/Use #Variable 0 Pauldrons
/Use #Variable 0 Shoes
```
+1 more
Stores the shared prefix of a set in a variable, then equips each piece by name. Aion macros have a character limit, and this is how you fit a full set swap inside it.
Swap Off-Hand by Slot
General
```
/EquipSlot 17 Shield Name
/EquipSlot 17 Weapon Name
```
Equips to a specific slot number rather than letting the game choose. Slot 17 is the off-hand, so this alternates between a shield and a second weapon on one key.
Switch Chat Channels
General
```
/1 Anyone running the fortress instance?
/3 LFG for Dark Poeta, healer here
```
Aion numbers its public channels: 1 is Local, 2 is Trade and 3 is Looking for Group. Typing the number posts to that channel directly.
The Basic Skill Chain
General
```
/Skill Ferocious Strike II
/Delay 1.5
/Skill Rage II
```
The shape every Aion combat macro takes: a skill, a delay long enough to cover the global cooldown and the animation, then the next skill. Leaving out a delay is the single most common reason a chain fires only its first ability.
Tuning Your Delays
General
```
/Skill First Skill Name
/Delay 1.5
/Skill Second Skill Name
```
Delays take decimals, so /Delay 1.5 is valid and often correct. Too short and the next skill is swallowed by the global cooldown; too long and you idle. Start at 1.5 and shave it down until skills start failing.
Whisper a Player
General
```
/Whisper Character Name
```
Switches to whisper mode for a named player. /w is the short form and behaves identically.

Every class shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
