The Lord of the Rings Online · class

Minstrel macros

The primary healing class, switching between healing and damage stances with ballads, anthems and cries.

21 macros

  • /alias add bree /travel Bree-land
    /alias add ered /travel Ered Luin

    Hunters and everyone with a map skill accumulate dozens of travel destinations. An alias per destination is far faster than opening the skill panel every time.

  • /assist

    Picks up whatever your target is attacking. Put it on a quickslot and a fellowship can stay on one mob without anyone calling targets aloud.

  • /alias add home /travel Bree

    Gives a short name to a command you type often. Afterwards, typing /home runs whatever you attached. Aliases are per-character and save automatically when you log out cleanly.

  • /shortcut 62 /salute

    Drops an emote onto a bar slot. Roleplay kinships build whole bars of these, and it is the most common everyday use of the shortcut command.

  • /music

    Switches your character into music mode so you can play an instrument. LOTRO has a full ABC notation music system, and this is the first step into it.

  • /f Pulling now
    /raid Stack behind the boss

    Posts to your fellowship with /f or the whole raid with /raid. Raid leaders live in /raid, and knowing the short forms saves a click on every call.

  • /follow

    Auto-follows whoever you have selected until you move. Middle-earth is very large and travelling behind someone who knows the route is a real convenience.

  • /alias list

    Prints every alias on the current character. The quickest way to work out why a command is doing something unexpected.

  • /play songname.abc

    Plays a notated tune from your Music folder. Kinship bands coordinate whole concerts this way, with each player running the same command on a different part.

  • /playlist songname.abc sync

    Synchronises playback across a fellowship so a band starts together. Without the sync flag every player starts on their own keypress and the result is chaos.

  • /k Anyone up for a skirmish?

    Posts to your kinship. /k is the short form, and it is the channel most LOTRO players actually spend their evenings in.

Other LOTRO classes

Every class shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
