I'm still poking at this, but this is what I've found so far in regards to making it easier(er) to use the macro to mail yourself merits quickly: (NOTE: the following has not been extensively tested, your results may vary depending on the types of untradeable/account bound inventory items you have) Short Step-by-step: -First: clear out tradeable items from your salvage inventory. Via either selling them, putting them in a personal vault, or dropping them into the auction house. -Second (this is vital that it is done after any change in inventory when working with the macro): Enter a super group base, change zones, or do something that results in a loading screen/zone transition (oddly enough, logging to character select does not seem to count, but I've not tested it that extensively). -Third if you have *only* Reward Merits and Empyrean Merits, the following macro should e-mail you Empyrean Merits (assuming you put your global handle in and not use the one here: /macro Merit emailsendattachment "@YourGlobalNameHere" "Merit Mail" 0 11 1 "Empyrean Merit sent to self" Likewise, if you change the third integer to 0 (instead of: 0 11 1 you use 0 11 0), it should send you Reward Merits. caveats: -IF you have incarnate threads, however, they appear to have priority over Empyrean Merits, and you will need to use the following: /macro Merit emailsendattachment "@yourGlobalNamehere" Merit Mail" 0 11 2 "Empyrean Merit sent to self" -IF you have Astral Merits, the position/element number for the Empyrean Merits may be 3. it appears the Astral Merits have a priority over the Empyrean Merits. Detailed info on what my small amount of experimentation has revealed so far, including info for people who want to know more about the macro itself, etc.: the reason that: /macro 2 emailsendattachment "@YourGlobalName" "elem 2" 0 11 2 "Item in list element 2" For new people, the macro to email your self is structured like this: <slash command> <button name> <command to do when button is pushed> <user global handle in quotes> <e-mail subject in quotes> <integer 1> <integer 2> <integer 3> <email body in quotes> I'm not familiar with what "integer 1" is. "integer 2" is the window/location. "11" is the salvage inventory space ("2" is the inspiration space. I'm sure there's one for recipes also, but I don't know what it is). The main issue people have is with "integer 3", as it represents the position of the item in inventory that you wish to send. I don't know how the game prioritizes certain items, but they do appear to exist in general categories which are then compiled into a list of inventory items, each having their own element/slot number in that list. The major categories appear to be: Invention Salvage, Special Salvage, Incarnates, and Merits invention salvage, upon zone change, is bumped to the front of the list. Example: I have 10 macros set up, each one tries to send an e-mail for the corresponding list element. 0 sends me a Reward Merit 1 returns a "no mail sent, item untradeable" error (I *believe* this is the incarnate threads, but am not sure) 2 sends me an Empyrean Merit BUT, if I go and grab a Temporal Tracer from a salvage rack... 0 sends me the Temporal Tracer 1 sends me a Reward Merit 2 returns an error 3 sends me the Empyrean Merit. If I then go and grab another salvage item, such as a single quantity of "fortune" 0 sends the Temporal Tracer 1 sends the Fortune 2 sends the reward merit, and so on. So invention salvage has priority at the beginning of the list. This is why it's important to remove all tradeable items from your inventory before attempting to make a macro to send stuff to yourself. The priorities appear to exist with the different merit badges, as well as different types of incarnates. The caveat with the badges is that it appears (I haven't been able to verify yet) that while Vanguard Merits are untradeable, they still fall under the Merit Category. Again, all of this is guesswork based on a couple hours of testing, and is in no way absolute or a permanently viable method of sending merits to yourself. It's more about some steps to take to minimize the amount of testing you have to do in order to find the right category position number of the Merits you want to send yourself. edit: It appears that the order in which the invention salvage fills the list is based on an internal ID for each item. I'm still waiting on the auction house orders to fill for one of each type of "orange" salvage, but so far, it would appear that "Human Blood Sample" has the lowest ID number, as no matter what I do, it always winds up being the first thing I e-mail to myself if it is present. If anyone finds results that are contradictory to what I've put up here, *and* if you verified said results after changing zones/instances, I'd love to know. This whole thing sort of presented itself to me as a puzzle that I can't look away from. :)
