Some useful macros to get information from the game. Remember that all of these macros are one line long!

Contents 1 Item info 2 Vendor info 3 Questlog info 4 Quest rewards 5 NPC info 6 Auto-vend grays

Item info

This macro will dump the name of the item on the cursor, its ID, and the path to its texture to the chatframe. To use this macro, bind it to a key, pick up an item so the cursor turns blue, then hit the key bound to this macro. Note that this macro only works for items in your inventory/bags.

/run local i,j,k=GetCursorInfo()if i=="item" then ChatFrame1:AddMessage(k..j..GetItemIcon(j)) end

Example output:

[Tigole's Trashbringer]32824Interface\Icons\INV_Sword_48

Vendor info

This macro will dump the name/texture of every item getting sold by the current vendor window, as well as the cost (in copper) and the quantity/itemLink of any loot tokens required.

/run local s,a,b,n,t,p,x='' for i=1,GetMerchantNumItems()do n,t,p,_,_,_,x=GetMerchantItemInfo(i)if x then s='' _,_,x=GetMerchantItemCostInfo(i)for j=1,x do _,a,b=GetMerchantItemCostItem(i,j)s=s..a..b..' 'end end ChatFrame1:AddMessage(n..p..t..' '..s)end

Example output:

Khadgar's Hood of Triumph0Interface\Icons\inv_helmet_146 75[Emblem of Triumph] 1[Trophy of the Crusade]

Khadgar's Gauntlets of Triumph0Interface\Icons\inv_gauntlets_79 45[Emblem of Triumph] 1[Trophy of the Crusade]

Questlog info

This macro will run through your entire quest log and dump as much information as it can get to the frame.

/run local s,l,t,g,h,d for i=1,GetNumQuestLogEntries()do s,l,t,g,h,_,_,d=GetQuestLogTitle(i)if not h then t=t or'' g=g or'' if g==0 then g='' end d=d or'' s=strsub(GetQuestLink(i),19)..t..g..d end ChatFrame1:AddMessage(s)end

Example output:

Borean Tundra

11897:71[Plug the Sinkholes]

Dragonblight

12462:73[Breaking Off A Piece]

12464:73[My Old Enemy]Group3

Quest rewards

This macro will print out roughly the same info as the item macro above, but only when you're about to choose a quest reward from the NPC.

/run local l,c='',ChatFrame1;c:AddMessage(GetTitleText())for i=1,GetNumQuestChoices()do local n,t=GetQuestLogChoiceInfo(i);t=t or '';l=GetQuestItemLink("choice",i)c:AddMessage(l..' '..tonumber(l:match("item:(%d+)"))..t)end

Example output:

NPC info

Updated for 3.3!

This macro will dump a lot of nearly all of the information you need about the NPC you are both targeting and mousing over (so the tooltip points to the right unit), except for its' lore-based race. (Human, Vrykul, Bat, etc...)

/run local s,t='','target'for i=1,(GameTooltip:NumLines()-1)do local m=_G["GameTooltipTextLeft"..i]s=s..' '..m:GetText()end ChatFrame1:AddMessage(s..' '..UnitSex(t)..UnitCreatureType(t)..tonumber(string.sub(UnitGUID(t),7,10),16)..GetMinimapZoneText())

Example output:

Helga Rumsbane General Goods Level 70 Valiance Expedition PvP3Humanoid24053Fort Wildervar

Explanation:

<Name> <Title> Level <##> <Faction affiliation> <PvP tag><1=Neuter,2=Male,3=Female><Creature type><NPC ID><Location>

Everything after the PvP tag comes from the Unit* calls, the rest comes from scraping the tooltip.

Auto-vend grays

Straight-forward gray item one-click vend macro. Thank you Cogwheel.

/run local l; for b=0,4 do for s=0,GetContainerNumSlots(b) do l = GetContainerItemLink(b, s) if l and select(3, GetItemInfo(l)) == 0 then ChatFrame1:AddMessage("Auto-selling " .. l);ShowMerchantSellCursor(1)UseContainerItem(b, s) end end end
