2 questions (bard)

1) What is the command for using a weapon (besides right click)?

Trying to set up a hot button for my:
/stopsong
/use breath of harmony



2) how do i get 2 sets of hot buttons up so i can have more than 10?

2a) how do i make them horizontal/vertical, rather than 2x5 box?

1) There's no such short cut on this server. You'll have to make a hotkey to your Primary, Secondary and an empty inventory slot (where your BoH will always sit) and unequip Primary/switch secondary to your instrument.

2 and 2a) These both have to do with setting up your UI, which sadly I have no close other than to point you to the Technical Forums where there are several different UIs available.

Good luck!

You can open new hot button bars via the EQ button, scroll up to one of the options, and you should see Hotbar 1/2/3 etc..

I'm unable to get in game myself right now to tell you exactly what sub option its in but I think its the same one as the action window

Also as for a hotbutton for your BoH what I did was place a primary slot on your hotbar and a stopsong macro, then bind a key to these. Press key to stopsong then press key assigned to that primary slot. As long as you have stopped song first it will cast the BoH effect

As far as I am aware this is the only way to achieve this

thanks, so i will have to eat up 2 buttons on my hotbar?
1)stongsong
2)primary (where i will manually right click the sword icon)

Not the end of the world, now ill just have to take some time to figure out / set up a second hotbar. Currently using Velious UI because i like it better for seeing mobs in the bottom corners of the screen.

Just curious, does anybody else rock 8 bags and grab the instruments out of an open bag? I dont because i dont like the clutter of shit all over the screen, but i know its possible.

Yes you will need 2 buttons to use your BoH as you ask (1 to /stopsong and another to click the BOH).

I have all my weapons/instruments in a Tink bag. My UI has my primary/secondary slots also in the bag, so I can use the bag to quickly swap instruments. I don't generally leave the bag open unless I need it.

i've found that using Duxa's UI (included with Duxa's all in one EQ installer) helps alot- has a window with inventory slots, primary, and secondary always available (set up with the 2x5 boxes), so you can swap instruments/weapons without sacrificing hotkeys. this way i can have my two most common twist lines (4 songs each) hotkeyed on 3-6 and 7-0, and still be able to swap instruments for modifiers

No you do not need to manually click the primary slot you placed on your hot bar. Once the key is bound to it, hitting that key will actually activate the effect on the weapon

So say stopsong is bound to ~ and say the primary slot is bound to %..
Pressing ~, %, will actually stopsong and cast nivs melody of preservation
