Does anyone have or know where I can get a Shellfish/Crustcean harvesting macro?
Im not hologrinding - Im a Master BE & plan to keep it for a while.

But I would like to be able to harvest this meat while I am at my desk doing something.
Let me know.

just stick the tool on your hotbar and macro press it every 15 seconds or however long it takes - you do have to come back regularly to stack it all up though

Yeah my macro harvests every 10 seconds or so... just drop the tool in your hot bar... I also heal myself every so often, though you will have to find the times for that....
And stacking is easy, just have a bag or a cargo pocket on you... and move them in there and they will auto stack.... but yeah you hae to come back every 10-15 minutes to stack them

I thought I read that the schematic for that tool was looted only. Is that true, and if so, where is the best place to look?

Name the macro SHELLFISH
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 15;
/macro SHELLFISH;
Put the harvesting tool in the top F1 slot (or change the toolbarSlot## accordingly). Then type "/macro SHELLFISH" and hit enter. My alt rarely runs around buffed, so I actually run this on a 6 second delay (or is it 8? - whatever the minimum is). Keep a pack on you with at least 2 open slots (the little satchels you get as loot drops work wonderfully). Then once in a while take a look at your inventory and move all the meat to the satchel. It doesn't autostack in your inventory, but it will when you drop it in the satchel. Hope this helps.

Anyone know a good site I can look up some more shematics like this? Including my alt, I'll eventually be Master BE, Tailor, Chef, and Artisan. Would like to know what's available.

If you look on the Bazaar under misc items (I do believe) there are usually a bunch listed there.
- Put this macro in Toolbar Slot 00 (/pause 0.25;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 6;/ui action toolbarSlot00; )
- Put your shellfish tool in toolbar slot 01
- Go to the edge of any water source.
- Click on toolbar slot 00
- walk away and get a glass of water.
- Come back every so often and stack the resources in your inventory because Cru and Mol do not stack when harvested.
Good luck.

Oh you got to be kidding - the macro is that easy....
Geez I thought it would be some complex multi line macro like I had to make for my crafting grinds.
Thats cool - thanks all

I found a little trick (exploit?) about this too, to save HAM...it wont let you sit down in water, but when you sit down you move backwards ever so slightly, so if you stand facing away from the water at the very edge, and thensit down, you'll move back into the water and sit, gaining the HAM regen bonuses of sitting while allowing you to harvest. This may work better on steep shorelines =)

Jus curious... How much meat are you guys getting from this macro? are you getting sizable stacks? 1k? 5k? 10k? 100k? etc... cause there have been some pretty nice shifts of Crus/Mol meat on my server latley.
