I added /loot to my harvesting macro's. To my knowledge I have never gotten any loot from it but its better to be safe then sorry. I also use it to quick loot npcs that I kill since I am so use to hitting the harvesting button anyways. My haverest meatmacro looks like this:

/loot

/harvest meat

There are creatures that give loot that serve as components in armor and medicines, so this is a good idea. Plus you can use it to loot NPCs.

Ic,

That's such a good idea that I added it to my Ranger guide.

Still haven't found any good loot yet, though.

I made a related post to this last week. You may want to make a little change to the macro. I use:

/harvest hide;
/pause 1;
/loot;

There's a bug I see from time to time(seemingly more and more often) where when I harvest a creature it says "You've harvested 24 units of Leathery hide blah blah blah". Then the next line says "One or more resource containers have been left on the corpse of whatever I was hunting". I don't actually get the resources put into my inventory when this happens until I loot the corpse. So you may want to harvest before you loot.

I looted a critter on Corellia after seeing the "One or more resource containers..." message and got a locked container. Whatever it was I killed I did it twice because I now have 2 of the containers.

I think it was a Humbaba (could be wrong) and I have no clue whats in them because I don't know any reputable Slicers.

They sit in my workshop and mock me from the corner.

This is a great idea. I also sometimes get that 'One or more...' message and it's annoying. It seems unpredictable too.

I thought that by saying '/harvest [resource]; /loot' that would fix the problem, but I always see the 'nothing to loot' message on my display before I see 'You have harvested...' message. That '/pause 1' (or 2) should make all the difference.

Great tip, Joe!

I did something similar except I call it the DeathMacro this is it:

/harvestcorpse;/lootall;/deathblow

This does it all for all my killsno matter ifits a critter, NPC or PC. If you're like me and really crammed for space on toolbars this is a great one-stop-shop macro.
