Editing WoW:Making a macro (section)

===/use &lt;bag&gt; &lt;slot&gt;===
You can also use an item in a specific bag location. Lets say you always keep the food you want to feed your pet in the first slot of your backpack. You can easily write a macro to feed your pet as follows:

 /cast Feed Pet
 /use 0 1

Bags are numbered 0-4 from right to left (0 is always the backpack) and the slots are numbered starting at 1 going left to right, top to bottom (like reading):

 1  2  3  4
 5  6  7  8
 ...

or

       1  2
 3  4  5  6
 7  8  9  10
 ...

Trading risk of confusion for completeness, /cast and /use function in almost exactly the same way. The /cast command can use items and /use can cast spells. However, /use will actually 'right click' the item. So if you are attempting to /use a trinket it will equip it if it is not equipped but /cast will just cast the buff. In the event that the trinket is not equipped, /cast will result in an error message saying "You must equip this item to use it." This prevents accidentally changing gear. This isn't very useful for simple macros like you've seen so far. However, when you start dealing with macro options and sequences you'll be happy to know that you can intermingle items and spells in the same command.
