Engineer macros

Engineers stack the most buttons of any profession, juggling kits, turrets and a toolbelt that gives every utility a second skill.

26 macros

Add and Remove Contacts
General
```
/friend Player.1234
/unfriend Player.1234
```
Adds 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 and Unblock a Player
General
```
/block Player.1234
/unblock Player.1234
```
Stops 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.
Custom Emote Line
General
```
/me raises the banner and holds the line.
/emotelist
```
Prints 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.
Drop a PvP Rank Banner
General
```
/rank
/rank 80
```
Plants 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.
Instant Wiki Lookup
General
```
/wiki Chak Egg Sac
```
Opens 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.
Invite to Squad
General
```
/squadinvite Player.1234
```
Invites a player straight into your squad. Commanders use it to pull in a specific person without them having to find the LFG entry.
Invite to Your Guild
General
```
/ginvite Player.1234
```
Invites a player to whichever guild you are currently representing. Getting the representation right first is the step people forget.
Join a Squad by Name
General
```
/squadjoin Player.1234
```
Requests 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.
Leave a Squad
General
```
/squadleave
```
Drops 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 Chat Meta Call
General
```
/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.
Open the Cosmetic Inspector
General
```
/inspect
```
Opens 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.
Party Invite, Join and Leave
General
```
/invite Player.1234
/join Player.1234
/leave
```
The 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.
