Shaman help

So I’m doing a sham/sk box duo.

Would love help with two things…

1) anyone have any great box sham macros to share?

2) I’ve never done a trade skill.. anyone have a great guide for alchemy?

Alchemy guide is best at EQ traders corner, just google it.

As far as boxing macros for shaman? Sure. I six box so I have to be a little more selective. Also, I use 10 keys from num pads so that limits me even more. If you are driving the tank, which is probably best, then make an /assist tank_name /cast # where # is whatever spell your slow is on. You can do that for malo, dots, and pet attack as well. I however, need to limit things and I like my stuff to land so I swap the hotkey off itself. If I am fighting mobs that aren't resistant I just have /assist tank, /pause 5, /cast slow. If I am doing fairly resistant mobs I do the same thing but it is /pause 5, /cast malo, /pause length of malo plus gem refresh plus a tiny buffer, then /cast slow.

So for example on a resistant mob
/assist tank_name
/pause 5
/cast malo_gem, /pause length of the malo you use plus another 5 or 10
/cast slow_gem, /pause length of slow plus 5
/pet attack

I have my sham pet's taunt turned off as he shouldn't ever be tanking and I don't want him stealing aggro.

As for heals it depends. If you are 2 boxing you can just do
/target tank_name
/pause 5
/cast heal_gem_of_choice

However, I also like to have a
/assist tank_name
/pause 5

Then I have my direct heal on a key by itself without any /assist crap beforehand. What this does is allows me to assist my tank to get the target I need to heal, but lets my tank go back to targeting the mob. Meanwhile my shaman can spam heals if needed on that person.

If you have never done tradeskills then you should know that you want to start off with getting your trophy. Before you can start the trophy you need to get a skill of 54 in the chosen skill.

This is easy and free. You can either do it in Cresent Reach or AB Sea. I prefer AB sea but up to you.

This is the one for Alchemy in Crescent Reach. There is a link in the article below for the AB Sea ones and for the trophy quest which comes later.

Note that if you have any of the mats left in inventory then the npc will not give you more so destroy the leftovers. Also you can now hand in full stacks instead of each item individually.

is this applicable on a TLP server?

For Alchemy you want to look at http://www.eqtraders.com/recipes/re...emy&sub=oldworld&sb=item&menustr=080010700000

These are the recipes on TLP before the Alchemy revamp, which will kick in after a couple of years of the server being active.

Can even do a multi canni macro that you'll have to time correctly. Something like :
/Pause xx, /cast 9
/Pause xx, /sit
/Pause xx, /cast 9
/Sit
