Macro to consolidate Eternals and Primals

Use this to create your 3-9 or 3-0 macro for 5 or 15 minute buffs respectively. I had posted this on the old forums for use as a mount macro on 3-1, but Hawker has recommended not using that frequently as it forces a higher number of LUA calls which for some users increases the chances of a system error.

The followiing macro consolidates Crystallized into Eternals, and Motes into Primals It uses the item # rather than the names due to the limitations on the number of characters in a macro. Item # is more concise and allows consolidating more items in a single macro.

Code: 
/use item:37700
/use item:37701
/use item:37702
/use item:37704
/use item:37703
/use item:37705
/use item:22572
/use item:22573
/use item:22574
/use item:22575
/use item:22577
/use item:22578
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/cast <<whatever spell here>>
Just change the last /cast statement to suit your needs (or simply delete it.)

Note: Mote of Mana is intentionally missing from this list ( item:22576 ) due to the limitation on # of characters in a macro. If you wish to consolidate those into Primal Mana, you will need to replace one of the others listed with its item number.

Very nice macro, I just editted it to have just the eternals converted ^^ thanks very much!
 
i use a macro that is like this but without the mount, and have it on the 6second button, builds up the eternals as i aggro mobs near nodes.
 
#showtooltip Swift Red Wind Rider
/use Crystallized Shadow
/use Crystallized Fire
/use Crystallized Water
/use Crystallized Life
/use Crystallized Earth
/use Crystallized Air
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/cast Swift Red Wind Rider

Using this atm and working fine, if i meet bugs will try yours. Thx mate !
 
Why would I use one Eternal consolidation macro over another?

Just posting again to be sure people know why you would choose one /use macro format over another. Also please take this macro or other info in this post and freely adapt it to your needs.

The form /use item:37700 uses fewer characters at the expense of being less obvious. Conversely, the form /use Crystallized Air is much clearer as to what its doing but requires more characters.

So why care how many characters a line takes? A macro in World of Warcraft is limited to 255 characters. So if you want a macro that consolidates both Primals and Eternals then you have to use the /use item:##### format because their 255 characters simply isn't enough to list all the Motes and all the Crystallized forms by name. That is also why the #showtooltip statement does not appear as the first line of the macro I first posted in this thread. Another benefit is that is doesn't depend upon using localized names.

Some people remove the mount use statement and then bind the macro to a different GatherBuddy keys such as the attack rotation as mentioned by I3ig Al or to one of the Buff keys. The point is determining whether you need to handle Outland and Northrend items or items for just one continent.

So.... if you run in both Outlands and Northrend frequently and don't want to have to remember to switch your macro binding when levelling herbalism and mining, then use something similar to:
/use item:37700
/use item:37701
/use item:37702
/use item:37704
/use item:37703
/use item:37705
/use item:22572
/use item:22573
/use item:22574
/use item:22575
/use item:22577
/use item:22578
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/use mount_name_goes_here
​
Otherwise you are better off typing the textual names out so it is clearer what the macro is doing, so a Northrend only macro similar to the following would be better:
#showtooltip mount_name_goes_here
/use Crystallized Shadow
/use Crystallized Fire
/use Crystallized Water
/use Crystallized Life
/use Crystallized Earth
/use Crystallized Air
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/use mount_name_goes_here

Thank you! Saved me a lot of time transferring the names into numbers. Finally I will never have to choose between primals and eternals! he said with opera like enthusiasm.
 
Oh Wow, Just started to use this, Works so much better!! <3!!
 
Code: 
/use item:37700
/use item:37701
/use item:37702
/use item:37704
/use item:37703
/use item:37705
/use item:22572
/use item:22573
/use item:22574
/use item:22575
/use item:22577
/use item:22578
/use Turbo-Charged Flying Machine
/sort
I use
http://www.wowace.com/addons/bank-stack/files/6949-r156/
For the /sort function. I also had to remove the clear lua errors for my mount and the /sort bag.
I have show lua errors off, so I shouldn't ever see them.
I guess you can add it back if you don't have a huge mount name like mine.

You can also use
/sort guild
and
/sort bank
And it will sort your bank and Gbank(You have to be at them ofc)

I believe also you can add a ignore sort item list (MOLL-E, Jeeves, so on?)

*EDIT* Actually, I figured out I can fit my mount name in the original.... There was a extra space between use and my mount name.. either way I'm sticking with this one.

Very nice macro! I found this about a week ago with search, but couldn't find again after reinstall, thanks a million!
 
Thanks for this I was looking for a replacement, I was using the mount one but often my bot wouldn't dismount, so now its bound to 15mins and works like a charm no errors at all...
