Hey guys... I have been in the game for about a week now and I am have been trying to ramp up my knowledge by reading n00b columns and the like... however I cant seem to figure out what is wrong with all the macros that are posted on here. Are they outdated? Was there some sort of nerf I missed? Also, how does this experimentation thing work? I notice people talk about "tapes" but I dont really get it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Tape's are for extra points which with crafters help with better crafting .
As for the macro's most of them work fine !
What you have to understand is that u have to find the schematic number .
As long as you dont learn anything new the number wont change.
However as soon as you learn a new skill you have to go search for that number again .
It's a pain don't i know it .
Hope that helps

Just to expand on the "tapes" thing, tapes are Skill Enhancing Attachments. There are two types, Clothing Attachments and Armor Attachments. They will display one or more skill bonuses, and the way you get that bonus is to drag the tape onto an item of clothing or armour which has one or more free 'sockets' (you can see in the clothing description if it has sockets). When you wear that clothing, your skills will be boosted. There's a stickied thread in this forum discussing Armor Experimentation tapes, and the benefits you get from them.
There are many pitfalls with these things. Some skill mods are 'broken', in other words, they don't do anything. Additionally, if a tape has more than one bonus listed, only one will stick. You also cannot 'stack' the same bonus on one piece of clothing. If you add a +3 Armor Experimentation tape to a jacket, then later find a +5 Armor Experimentation tape, don't put it in the same jacket, or it will just overwrite the +3.
Try doing a search on the 'Game Guides' forum - there are several informative posts on the subject, although sadly some details are still argued over, in terms of exactly how the game mechanics work.
Re: the macros not working, try posting the macro you're trying, and what is or isn't happening
