Equip Trinket Slot Macro

  • In the wardrobe screen there's a slot specifically for trinkets. I'm asking why its greyed out and I can never access it. I clearly says I can equip whatever trinket wish to be visible but all effects will be permanent, just like the satchels.
  • Use:This macro uses Items from a fixed Bag slot so you can easily exchange the food (B1 Slot 20)/water (B1 Slot 16) you want to be consumed. Default: this macro will use the item in slot 20 and 16 of the first bag (to the left of the bavkpack which is zero) so you immediately start eating an drinking.
  • In this case, you use trinket slot 1 and 2, if possible. This way you don’t have to change the name of your trinket, but it will go wrong sometimes if you equip your PvP trinket in slot 1. I thought I’d share this.

The macro in the comment works because he has a shift modifier when he wants to equip the trinket. So he would hit, for example, shift-KEY to equip the dragonling, then he would just hit KEY to use the dragonling then equip his other trinket. This would have to be done out of combat to work.

There are 18 equipment slots on a character, as well as 4 bag slots above the Micro Menu and a mount equipment slot in the Mount Journal. The combination of equipment slot and item type is often the first categorization of items used.

Equipment slots in macros

When creating macros based on 'click to use' items (especially trinkets), the common practice is to enter the actual item name. However, using the numeric equipment slot identifiers eliminates the need to manually modify macros after upgrading a particular item.

These slot designations are particularly handy for engineers whose Tinker enhancements and Engineering-only items add and/or posses an 'on use' ability for items in the Back, Belt, Foot and Head slot that would not normally posses such capability for non-engineers.

Here are is a complete list of each equipment slot and its numeric designation for macro purposes
