Editing WoW:Macro (section)

== Editing macros outside of WoW ==
{{Accuracy-section|Needs to be verified.}}
Macros are now held on the servers so this method may no longer have the desired effect.

You can edit macros outside of the game by editing the 'World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\*account name*\macros-cache.txt' and '...\Account\*account name*\*server name*\*char name*\macros-cache.txt' files, containing account-wide and per-character macros respectively.

Note that the macros should probably be numbered starting with 1 and continue to 36 on the account-wide macros; and starting with 16777217 and continue to 16777234 for your character-specific macros. They don't need to be in order from the beginning of the file. It is probably best to save at least one account-wide and one character-specific macro in the game before you create your own macro file, to be familiar with macro file structure and to be sure of the numbering of macros.  When editing your macros outside the game, be sure to use a simple text editor that can save in the {{wplink|unicode}} file format, otherwise you may run into formatting/character issues.
