At any time, you can have 36 macros that are available to all your characters on all servers within one [[account]], and 18 other macros that are available to each specific character, for a total of 54 macros that each character has access to. | In the ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', a '''macro''' is a method of combining several actions to execute in a single button press or keystroke.
