Npad5 - Group Heal Macros // Protection Macros Npad1 - Group Spirit of the Cheetah (I forgot to add a macro for it in my picture but I use Movement Speed buffs for 1) With that out of the way let's break down my actual hotbuttons! They were strictly bound in Everquest and Everquest only. If you follow the steps on that page you'll know exactly what I mean by Mapped Key.ĭelete, End, Page Down, Insert, Home, Page Up as well as the two you can hardly see Npad- and Npad+ I did not put anywhere in Isboxer. To explain this again in a more simplistic way - every button on the top hotbar I went into Isboxer and made into a Mapped Key.

The top hot bar that you see is all Isboxer keybinds the hotbar on the bottom is all character specific keybinds with the exception of NPad. Let's take a closer look at these two hotbars since we keep talking about them! What I am saying is you need to have some keys that you don't bind in isboxer for you to use on each character - especially your tank. If what I am saying confuses you - Delete, End, Page Down, Insert, Home and Page Up are NOT bound in Isboxer for me. You absolutely need to have some buttons that you can hit on your tank which don't effect the rest of your characters at all. You can kind of ignore this part for anyone except your tank. You need to copy this same logic to your playing set your characters up to have at least 6 of their own abilities separate from the buttons that control your box team. They're all macros that are color coded to show you (and me) what pressing that button will do.īelow that hotbar, the one on the very bottom of the page - that's where you can see the different abilities he has bound. If you look at my warrior above he doesnt have ANY abilities on the first hotbar.

My Numpad controls my box team - Delete, End, Page Down, Insert, Home and Page up control the character I am playing. First off - you need to have BOXING Specific keys as well as CHARACTER specific keys. You of course don't have to copy me and use the arrow keys but you have to copy my basic ideas. I bind all of my primary abilities to the Numpad and the 6 keys just above the arrow keys (Delete, End, Page Down, Insert, Home, Page up).

I've stuck with playing like this throughout the years primarily because I enjoy playing this way. WASD wasn't even what you used to move your characters in Asheron's Call or EQ in those days, the arrow keys were. I started with this playstyle when I first started EQ in 2001. The very first thing I need to explain though is my choice of Keys and my initial setup.įirst off if you haven't already figured it out I have a very esoteric playstyle of using the Numpad and the right side of the keyboard rather than using WASD and the left hand side. My glorious interface! Many many hours went into crafting the entire interface and I am going to break down the entire thing for you little by little explaining each part, what purpose it servers and all of that fun stuff. I'm going to break my entire interface down piece by piece in much smaller portions below as it's probably a bit overwhelming at first glance. The screen shot below shows you my entire Everquest Interface - you'll need to click on the picture to enlarge it to see basically anything in enough detail. If you would like to see parses of this setup in action as well as some videos scroll down to the bottom of this page for more info. The idea behind this page isn't for you to copy me but take my ideas and make them your own. If you couldn't already surmise - this page here breaks down my entire Everquest Interface and how I play. This page is going to be the bread and butter for anyone out there looking for interface ideas or ways to setup Isboxer. Out of all the boxing guides I have written this one is my absolute favorite.
