/friend Player.1234
/unfriend Player.1234Adds a player to your contacts list or removes them. Contacts are account-wide, so you see them online regardless of which character either of you is on.
/block Player.1234
/unblock Player.1234Stops a player contacting you, and reverses it again. /ignore and /unignore are aliases, and the block list survives across characters because it is account-wide.
/me raises the banner and holds the line.
/emotelistPrints a free-form emote in the third person, which reads as an action rather than speech. /emotelist shows every built-in animation emote you can use instead.
/rank
/rank 80Plants a banner showing your PvP rank. Adding a number from 1 to 80 drops a banner of that specific rank instead, which is used far more for messing about in town than for anything competitive.
/wiki Chak Egg SacOpens the official wiki in your browser for whatever you type after the command. Shift-clicking an item into chat first pastes its exact name, which makes this the fastest way to look up a recipe, a collection step or a skill.
/squadinvite Player.1234Invites a player straight into your squad. Commanders use it to pull in a specific person without them having to find the LFG entry.
/ginvite Player.1234Invites a player to whichever guild you are currently representing. Getting the representation right first is the step people forget.
/squadjoin Player.1234Requests to join the squad of any player already in it, which is far quicker than finding the commander tag on a crowded map. /sqjoin is the short form.
/squadleaveDrops you out of the current squad without touching your party. Handy when a meta finishes and you want to stop receiving squad chat immediately.
/map Tail up, squad in LFG under "Dragon's End"Posts to map chat, which is the channel that actually organises open-world metas. Keep the wording short — map chat scrolls fast during a meta event.
/inspectOpens the inspection panel for your target, showing their skins and dyes rather than their stats. The usual way to find out what armour someone is wearing before asking.
/invite Player.1234
/join Player.1234
/leaveThe three party commands that matter: invite someone, ask to join someone, or leave the party you are in. All three work by account name.
Every profession shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
