Welcome to the User Interface FAQ for Blizzard's World of Warcraft!

The UI FAQ is posted here on Wowpedia as well as on Blizzard's UI & Macros Forum and at WoWInterface.com.

Some of the texts will direct you to "post followups" and the like; this is referring to those two forums.

Top 5 Way-Too-Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use a trinket in a macro?

- /use <your trinket>

What UI is this? [link of a 500mb video of someone else playing WoW]

- Take a screenshot to post and ask again.

- Try asking in the realm specific forum of the particular user who has a UI you are interested in.

- Create a character on the specific realm of the particular user who has a UI you are interested in. Then send an in-game mail to that user kindly inquiring about their UI. There is a very high likelihood the user will be more than willing to help you out.

How do I change the look of things? Like my armor, weapons, mount, or myself?

- Since patch 1.1 it has become much harder to do so. It is also against the EULA.

How do I wait in a macro to cast a spell later?

- You can't. For one, spells can only be initiated by user actions, such as clicks; UI cannot start spellcasting itself. For two, AddOns and scripts embed into macros (via /script) can no longer initiate spell casts as of version 2.0.1.

How do I switch main hand to offhand weapon?

- /script PickupInventoryItem(16) PickupInventoryItem(17)

NB: this no longer functions in combat; swapping main- and off-hand weapons in combat can only be done manually.

-The item is that which has been put into the AuctionSellItemButton. That's the slot in the 'create auction' panel.
+[[Image:questionmark-large.png|left]]
-The minBid and buyoutPrice are in copper. However I cant figure out how to go below 1 silver. So putting in
-'50' or '10' or '1' will always make the auction do '1 silver'. But '102' will make it do '1 silver 2 copper'.
+''The UI FAQ is posted here on Wowpedia as well as on [http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/board.html?forumId=11114&sid=1 Blizzard's UI & Macros Forum] and at [[WoWInterface|WoWInterface.com]].''
-The runTime is in minutes. Apparently, the ''only'' permissible values are 8*60, 24*60, 48*60, for 8, 24, and 48 hours, respectively.

-Examples:
- StartAuction(1,1,120)       - Start at 1 silver, buyout 1 silver, time 2 hours
- StartAuction(1,10,120)      - Start at 1 silver, buyout 1 silver, time 2 hours
- StartAuction(1,100,120)     - Start at 1 silver, buyout 1 silver, time 2 hours
- StartAuction(1,1000,2*60)   - Start at 1 silver, buyout 10 silver, time 2 hours
- StartAuction(1,10000,8*60)  - Start at 1 silver, buyout 1 gold, time 8 hours
- StartAuction(101,150,24*60) - Start at 1 silver 1 copper, buyout at 1 silver 50 copper, time 24 hours
