• Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋
  • We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.

    a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
    b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over /ooc, /shout or other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.

    Why Does RG Review Scripts?
    Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.

    You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting /lua run
BAM (Basic Assist Macro - for monks)

Work in Progress BAM (Basic Assist Macro - for monks) 5

🏢 Live
So, I am fully aware that there are lots of super-pro-macros out there, and that there even is a dedicated monk macro (live or in progress, not sure) that does mega-advanced things like pulling and everything. This is not that. This is my very own macro, which I use everyday when I play. I wrote/maintain this because it is fun and because I want to learn and get better. I post this here because I like to get feedback and I am sure that there are lots of things that I do poorly or could be done better or improved upon.

As of this post being published, I have already received some very much appreciated feedback and assistance from RG moderators. Many thanks!

So, I play a monk and I never ever played anything else. But this macro is easily converted to any melee type character in EverQuest. What does this macro do?
  1. When starting the macro it takes 2 parameters. First one to see if I want to use long discs (those with the progress bar running down in the discipline window). Second one to see if I want to use Forage or not.
  2. I am iksar but I prefer the human model. So, the macro casts Human Illlusion (Vex Thal clicky) when the current illusion is about to fade. If the toon is in motion or otherwise cannot cast an 8 second long spell, it casts Skeleton Illusion instead (Amulette of Nercopotence).
  3. Whenever I start combat with a new target, the macro uses Begging once. Only once, because I do not want to lower DPS by turning attack on and off all the time.
  4. If monk aura is not up, it activates aura.
  5. If Rapid Reflexes is not up, it acticates Rapid Reflexes
  6. Then, if I am in combat it does Item Clicks, Abilities, CombatAbilities (and CombatAbilitiesLong) and AltAbilities.
Like I said, this is a new beginners macro, which is also very specific to my own play style. You might find it useless or possibly usefull in its entierty or in part. Feel free to comment, or suggest improvements or point out flaws or bugs. This macro also does other cute little things like telling you, not only that you got experience, but how much you have left "til ding". It also attempts to auto-mend if you go below 21% HP, it uses some monk item clickies (epic 1 and epic 2) as well as some higher level chest armor clickies. It displays skill-ups in the macro window.

I am currently lvl 110, and I modify this macro continously when I get new discs/alt abilities and clickies.
