macroing

rumpelstiltskin

do any of you guys macro unattended?
personally, i dont see the point in it, it is after all, a rol playing game, you dont have to have a great character to enjoy it.
i find that im getting on grand without having to macro at all
the only thing that i found UOA useful for was the way u can set up a hotkey tyo change weapons
cos its too slow to do if youre in the middle of a fight.
im not gonna risk trying to do this with UOE is ill get banned, but thanks for the info anyway.
is there any other programs for setting up weapons or costume hotkeys?
or does anyone know how to input these commands directly into uo macros.txt file?

your not going to give up on this are you.

I macro'ed Stealth back when it was still legal to macro unattended. It took two days non stop macroing to get to GM stealth from 30 stealth.

Stealth is insanely hard to raise at high levels as you have to wear armor to raise it, which defeats the purpose of using the skill.

There are other skills which are just painful to raise and you will never see GM unless you macro'ed (or played the character for over 2 years).

Some skills also give you a special bonus when you hit GM.

eg.
GM Forensics - effects a thief ability to steal (except GM Steal).
GM Steal - 1 stone items can be stolen all the time afaik. No guard whacks for them.

There's others but I forget.

I do know ANAT+HEAL are painfully hard to raise without macroing and at higher levels you can cure poison and bring people back from the dead.
