• I want to check my Combat Level regularly, how can I do it without sending a PM to Mercator every time ?

First you must create an Alias. Choose a number you can remember easily. For example 10.

Create your alias now:

 #alias 10 /mercator myskill combat

Execute the alias which you saved under number 10

 #10

• How can i use the new Grouptell feature to send one PM to multiple persons

First you need to create a group with

Example:

 /mercator gtell add friends friendname1 friendname2 friendname3 friendname4 ...

then you can use the gtell command to send messages to all, Careful to use gtell as tell (for now) only goes to people not using your groups

Example

/mercator gtell friends hi how are you all

If you are tired fo your friends or need to make new group to add new friends (for now you cannot add or delete friends from an existing list without deleting it compeltly

Example

/mercator gtell del friends

If you want to know which groups you have and who is in there

Example

/mercator gtell list

• What is the instance calculator for a feature

Many Groups who go to instances, have after the instances left over ressources that they share (especially if they all bring same amount of ressources. To help the mathwork in the end Mercator has the command inscalc that does the work for one.

EXAMPLE

We take a 5 man team that has 500 srs 200 pking arrows 800he 15 creature food and 5 mule glyph to share. Its allowed to write it this way on mercator
/mercator inscalc 5 500srs 200 pking 800he 15cf 5 
you will get back the message
PM from mercator: The Result is for each member: 100 srs 40 pking 160 he 3 cf 1

as Mercator does not know what the last 5 was he does not add a description behind, like with the others.
