Simple Prospecting, Milling and Disenchanting Marco

Hello everyone New Year and Christmas has finally past and I'm back to giving out tips about world of warcraft.
I will now have a lot more time on my hands and will within a few days begin to post videos on my youtube channel so be sure to check that out.

Ive noticed both in trade chat and forums that people are looking for addons that makes milling and prospecting easier. Now addons uses a lot of memory if they are poorly writen and most of them are. You also have to restart and keep them updated and its just a bit hazzle. Ive made this simple macro that you can use for both your prospecting and milling to make it all happen with a single click.
Make a macro by going to the Create Macros window, you can go there by typing "/m" in your chat.
Now you simply click "New", write a name, its doesnt matter what you put here but keep the icon at the red question mark thats selected by default.

Now simply copy this in to the text view below the macro icon view.

#showtooltip [put your ore, herb or item name here, it have to be with big and small letters in the right place]
/cast [Prospecting, Milling or Disenchant]
/use [Ore, herb or item name, make sure its the same as you put behind "#showtooltip"]


It should all look something like this:
#showtooltip Obsidium Ore
/cast Prospecting
/use Obsidium Ore


So simply put that on your action bar, possibly on something you have bound to one of your keys, and just click that and it will automaticly start prospecting your ore.
Of course you still have to click the button even if you have auto loot on, which I recommend.
Having anything that clicks a button over and over again or that makes your character do stuff without you having to sit there and click the button or take action yourself is against WoWs terms of service and if you do use something like a bot then Blizzard will ban your account if they find out about it.

How ever this saves a lot of time and your clicking fingers will thank you.


If you have a lot of different stuff but dont care to know how much of something you have you can simply use something like this:


/cast Prospecting
/use Obsidium Ore
/use Elementium Ore
/use Saronite Ore


by using this macro it wont say how much more ore you have but it will keep prospecting your ore starting with which ever is first in your bags and just keep going through them all until there's less than 5 or none at all.
