New trick for sending empyrean merits

[0th Power]

We all know it’s a pita trying to send empyrean merits one at a time, but I accidentally figured out a way to speed it up. 
 

1st.  have an email from yourself to be able to reply to.
2nd   hit reply and have the email open up,

3rd.  put empyrean merit in the attachment

4th.  drag the email window so that the send button is covering the reply. 
5th.  start clicking quickly

Neat.  If you need to send 50 or multiples of 50, you can convert them into transcendent merits and then convert back once sent.

 

I just recently learned about the conversion options.  I’ve now built up a healthy stash of hero merits.  I digress.

Ahh, this is excellent information.

 

If only @Mender Derek had been this clever before causing an apocalyptic event by merging the timelines.

 

Oh well, enjoy your merits!

You can also use a macro to email merits quickly: 

 

/macro "email merit" emailsendattachment @global "subject" 0 11 xx "body" where xx is the position number in the salvage window.

 

Usage: /emailsendattachment name subject influence attachment location message_body

• name is a valid user name, preferably global
• subject is the message subject line
• influence is a numeric amount of Inf to send, or 0
• attachment is the type of element to attach - see below - or none
• location is the inventory location of that item - see below- or none
• message_body is the body of the message,

Quotes around each argument are optional for one-word arguments but should be used for consistency. Again, everything that follows location - in quotes, out, numbers, text, loose boogers - will go into the message body.

 

Attachment types (only three are enabled):

 

• 2 is Inspirations
• 11 is Salvage.
• 12 is Recipes.

This only works if your global doesn’t have a space, right?

Throw quotation marks around your Global then.  That should do the trick.

ie:   "@0th Power"

I’ll try it. I remember reading a thread about an inf email sending macro that didn’t work for this one player because he had a space. I seem to remember that quotes didn’t work. I could be wrong. 

[ImpousVileTerror]

Likewise, so could I.   I've not used the command myself either, but generally when it comes to Global Handles or Global Channels with spaces in them, quotation marks are a necessity to get slash commands to play nice.

Not necessarily wrong at all. 

 

The type of quotation marks used may matter. If they're the kind used in a plain text or rtf file, then the command tends to be executed. If the kind of quotes often generated by default by word processing programs is used, then the macro may fail. Here are the two types of quotation marks ...

 

" = the right kind of quotation mark

“ = not the right kind of quotation mark

 

You should be able to insert a character, and then select the right type of quotation mark even if in a word processor. 

 

Hopefully this helps.
