Each week, Q-3PO started a thread for you to share game tips with fellow players. Tuesday Tips will continue on with that tradition so be sure to join in and add your helpful tip. Do you have a little known command you use all the time? A cool place to visit? A trick (non-exploit) to getting more out of the game?

Share it here.

To get things started:

Change in and out of Armor and Outfits with 1 button:

Are you ready to head into battle or maybe a Wedding? Do you have a favorite suit of armor or clothing you like to wear? Well, here is how to switch your sets of wearables with one button on your toolbar:

1. The first thing you will need to do is choose a toolbar pane.

The toolbar is meant to be an easy method for performing virtually any action quickly and efficiently. Each box on the toolbar corresponds to one of your Function keys (F1- F12 ). You can click on virtually any icon, action, or piece of equipment; and then drag it into the toolbar to assign it to a Function key. Cycle between toolbar banks using the toolbar arrows or the CTRL+ ` keys.

You have access to 6 toolbars (numbered 0- 5). You can drag the edges of the toolbar pane to expand the toolbar to two rows. The second row can be utilized by hitting the SHIFT key and the corresponding Function key. (Don't forget to pull your toolbar down and double the amount of available buttons

2. The next step is to open your inventory and click-and-drag your armor or outfit items that you want to be able to change into and put them on the toolbar slots on the toolbar pane.

3. Next, open your Abilities window CTRL-A.

4. Click the "Macro" tab in your abilities window.

5. In the Abilities, New Macro window, choose a name for your action. (I titled mine, "SuitUp")

6. In the Abilities, New Macro window, choose a Toolbar Button for your action

7. In the Abilities, New Macro window, set up your macro text:

a. The first command is /ui action toolbarPane01;

· This switches the toolbar pane to the second available pane or toolbar pane 01.

· The word "Pane" in toolbarPane must be capitalized.

· There are six toolbar panes numbered 0-5. The command will access whichever toolbar you put at the end of the command.

· Toolbar Pane 00 is your default toolbar pane

· There must be a single space in between the words, "/ui" and "action" and also between "action" and "toolbarPane01"

Toolbar Pane Numbers:

Toolbar Pane 1 = toolbarPane00

Toolbar Pane 2 = toolbarPane01

Toolbar Pane 3 = toolbarPane02

Toolbar Pane 4 = toolbarPane03

Toolbar Pane 5 = toolbarPane04

Toolbar Pane 6 = toolbarPane05

b. The second command is /ui action toolbarSlot00;

· Toolbar Slots are the various buttons on each toolbar

· There must be a single space in between the words, "/ui" and "action" and also between "action" and "toolbarSlot00"

· The word "Slot" in toolbarSlot must be capitalized

· Repeat this command in order, depending on which slots on the toolbar you have a wearable item in. For instance, If you had a shirt in the first slot, pants in the second slot and shoes in the third slot, you would need to to have a /ui action toolbarSlot command for slots 00, 01 and 02.

Toolbar Slot Numbers:

00 = Top row of toolbar slots, first button from the left.
01 = Top row of toolbar slots, second button from the left.
02 = Top row of toolbar slots, third button from the left.
03 = Top row of toolbar slots, fourth button from the left.
04 = Top row of toolbar slots, fifth button from the left.
05 = Top row of toolbar slots, sixth button from the left.
06 = Top row of toolbar slots, seventh button from the left.
07 = Top row of toolbar slots, eigth button from the left.
08 = Top row of toolbar slots, ninth button from the left.
09 = Top row of toolbar slots, tenth button from the left.
10 = Top row of toolbar slots, eleventh button from the left.
11 = Top row of toolbar slots, twelfth button from the left.
12 = Bottom row of toolbar slots, first button from the left.
13 = Bottom row of toolbar slots, second button from the left.
14 = Bottom row of toolbar slots, third button from the left.
15 = Bottom row of toolbar slots, fourth button from the left.
16 = Bottom row of toolbar slots, fifth button from the left.
17 = Bottom row of toolbar slots, sixth button from the left.
18 = Bottom row of toolbar slots, seventh button from the left.
19 = Bottom row of toolbar slots, eigth button from the left.
20 = Bottom row of toolbar slots, ninth button from the left.
21 = Bottom row of toolbar slots, tenth button from the left.
22 = Bottom row of toolbar slots, eleventh button from the left.
23 = Bottom row of toolbar slots, twelfth button from the left.

c. The last command is /ui action toolbarSlot00;

· This button simply returns your toolbar pane to its default location.

· There must be a single space in between the words, "/ui" and "action" and also between "action" and "toolbarPane00"

A completed list of commands to change your shirt, pants and shoes might look like this:

/ui action toolbarPane01;

/ui action toolbarSlot00;

/ui action toolbarSlot01;

/ui action toolbarSlot02;

/ui action toolbarPane01;

Basically, what this does is switches the toolbar, clicks each of the buttons you listed in the macros and then switches it back to the default toolbar.

This is handy for suiting up your armor or switching from street clothes to your pilot suit. Another neat trick for entertainers is to add their theatrical puff of smoke in the line commands so that they do a quick change with a...well...a theatrical *poof* of smoke.
