[Treasure Hunting] Don't forget about the Hotbar in the Enhanced Client

[Old Man of UO]

My fingers were getting pretty tired double-clicking the shovel then targeting the map and clicking, then targeting the ground and clicking. If you are using the Enhanced Client, drop your shovel into a hotbar slot and change the target to "Stored," then target your current map. Assign a hotkey.

With this, you press the hotkey and then target the ground where you are searching. The targeting of the treasure map is done automatically. It doesn't sound like much, but it cuts the clicking time in half.

I can then walk a straight North-South or East-West line and do a fast grid search as I walk, right mouse click, hotkey, left mouse click on the ground, and repeat. It really helps in those places where it is hard to identify landmarks on the treasure map.

Doesn't clicking the map to get a context menu, to get a targeting gump, not work in EC? Or do you just like doing it the older, harder, way?

Maps have been giving targeting gumps without clicking the shovel first, since at least the release of AoS.

It works that way too within the EC client, but I dont know, how to build a macro for that. Esspecially if you have to dig multiple times before you find the right spot, old mans macro can save up time.

It does work in EC too, However pressing a key, then target is easier than 2 clicks than target - Hey! I'm lazy.

I endorse the hotbar method. I've been using it for some time now.
