/assistPicks up whatever your target is attacking. Put it on a quickslot and a fellowship can stay on one mob without anyone calling targets aloud.
/alias add home /travel BreeGives a short name to a command you type often. Afterwards, typing /home runs whatever you attached. Aliases are per-character and save automatically when you log out cleanly.
/shortcut 62 /saluteDrops an emote onto a bar slot. Roleplay kinships build whole bars of these, and it is the most common everyday use of the shortcut command.
/musicSwitches your character into music mode so you can play an instrument. LOTRO has a full ABC notation music system, and this is the first step into it.
/f Pulling now /raid Stack behind the bossPosts to your fellowship with /f or the whole raid with /raid. Raid leaders live in /raid, and knowing the short forms saves a click on every call.
/lffMarks you as available so fellowship finder searches pick you up. Easy to forget you have left it on.
/followAuto-follows whoever you have selected until you move. Middle-earth is very large and travelling behind someone who knows the route is a real convenience.
/alias listPrints every alias on the current character. The quickest way to work out why a command is doing something unexpected.
/play songname.abcPlays a notated tune from your Music folder. Kinship bands coordinate whole concerts this way, with each player running the same command on a different part.
/playlist songname.abc syncSynchronises playback across a fellowship so a band starts together. Without the sync flag every player starts on their own keypress and the result is chaos.
/k Anyone up for a skirmish?Posts to your kinship. /k is the short form, and it is the channel most LOTRO players actually spend their evenings in.
/shortcut 61 /followPlaces any chat command onto a numbered quickslot so it can be clicked or key-bound like a skill. Slots run left to right and then down through your bars, starting at 1.
/alias remove homeDeletes an alias you no longer want. Worth knowing because aliases persist across sessions and an old one can quietly shadow a real command.
/rollRolls a random number and announces it to your fellowship. Still how most kinships split a rare drop that nobody wants to argue over.
/ui layout save raid /ui layout load raidWrites your current interface arrangement to a named layout and loads it back. Useful for keeping separate layouts for raiding and for questing.
/showquickslotbar 3Shows or hides a numbered quickslot bar. Wardens and Beornings, who need very different bars in different stances, get the most out of this.
/target BogberethTargets a specific creature or player by name. Partial names work, which makes it the fastest way to pick a named enemy out of a crowded landscape.
/combat logging onTurns on the detailed combat log that external parsers read. Off by default, and the first thing to check when your parse shows nothing.
/stuckFrees a character caught in terrain by moving you to the nearest safe point. LOTRO has a great deal of complicated geometry and this comes up more than you might expect.
/tell Playername Invite when you have a slot /r On my waySends a private message, and /r replies to whoever contacted you last. Both accept partial names with tab completion.
Other LOTRO classes
Every class shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
