A note on syntax
Extended conditionals generally use the same syntax as the built-in [mod] conditional:
- You can prefix any conditional name with no to
negate the result. However, negations of non-combat
conditionals behave differently while in combat.
For example, [noform:cat] is satisfied whenever [form:cat] is not satisfied. - If a conditional accepts arguments, you can specify a list of alternatives
separated by forward slashes.
For example, [form:bear/cat] is satisfied for druids in Bear or Cat Form. - Conditional arguments are case-insensitive.
For example, [form:BEAR] and [form:bear] are equivalent.
Secure conditionals
- me:character name/class name
- Satisfied if your character's name is equal to the specified value, or if the specified value is one of the following tokens and corresponds to your character's class:
- mage
- priest
- warlock
- demonhunter
- druid
- monk
- rogue
- evoker
- hunter
- shaman
- deathknight
- paladin
- warrior
For example: [me:Ygramul/Gmork] is satisfied when the player character is named Ygramul or Gmork; [me:druid/deathknight] is satisfied when the player character is a druid or a death knight. - game:...
- Satisfied when the argument accurately describes the game mode you're playing. You may use the following tokens:
- modern
- remix
- era
- hc
- sod
- fresh
- cata
For example: [game:remix] is satisfied while participating in a timerunning event; [game:era] is satisfied on Classic Era, and [game:hc] is satisfied while playing on permanent-death classic era realms. - zone:name
- Satisfied while in a specific zone (or subzone). Note that the value of this conditional changes only while out of combat.
For example: [zone:Valley of the Four Winds] is satisfied while in the Valley of the Four Winds (but not in The Lazy Turnip, which is apparently in a separate zone).
- instance:... (or in:)
- Satisfied when the argument accurately describes where your character currently is. You may use the following tokens to query for specific instance types:
- world
- garrison
- scenario
- delve
- dungeon
- lfr
- raid
- worldpvp
- battleground
- ratedbg
- arena
- outland
- northrend
- pandaria
- draenor
- broken isles
- argus
- ashran
- kul tiras

- island
- nazjatar
- shadowlands
- torghast
- dragon isles
- zaralek
- emerald dream
- khaz algar
- siren isle
- bfa
- df
- tww
For example: [in:arena] is satisfied when in an arena instance, [in:world] is satisfied when out in the world. - outpost:garrison/
arena/ yard/ sanctum/ arsenal/ brewery/ run/ corral/ tankworks - Satisfied when the player character is in a zone where they have access to a garrison outpost special ability. The optional argument can be used to query for specific abilities; lumber yard and smuggling run may be used in place of yard and run respectively.
For example: [outpost:garrison] is satisfied when the player has the Call to Arms ability, i.e. has established their garrison and is in the Shadowmoon Valley or Frostfire Ridge; [nooutpost] is satisfied when the player has no zone-specific garrison ability in the current zone.
- level:minimum level
- Satisfied when the level of the player character is at least the specified value. Note that slash-separated alternatives cannot be used with this conditional; you must provide a single number.
For example: [level:50] is satisfied when the player character is level 50 or above; and not satisfied when the player character is level 49 or below.
- horde / alliance
- Satisfied when the player character is part of the corresponding faction group.
- mercenary / merc
- Satisfied when the player character is acting as a mercenary on behalf of the other faction. For example, a worgen character during the Lady Jaina Proudmoore encounter in the Battle of Dazar'alor raid would satisfy [alliance,
merc, despite being transformed into a troll.nohorde] - race:human/
... - Satisfied when the player character is of a particular race, specified using the following tokens:
- human
- dwarf
- nightelf
- gnome

- Profession conditionals: prof:min skill
- Satisfied when the player character has the specified profession or profession specialization
(if minimum skill is specified in Classic WoW, only if the they have at least that number of skill points in that profession).
The following profession names are supported:
For example: [tail] is sastisfied if the player has at least one skill point in Tailoring, and [nomeng:40] is satisfied if the player has at least 40 skill points in Engineering, and has the Gnomish Engineering specialization.
Profession Conditional Shortcut Alchemy alchemy alch Blacksmithing blacksmithing bs Enchanting enchanting ench Engineering engineering engi Gnomish Engineering nomeng Goblin Engineering gobeng Inscription inscription scri Jewelcrafting jewelcrafting jc Leatherworking leatherworking lw Tailoring tailoring tail Herbalism herbalism herb Skinning skinning skin Mining mining mine Archaeology archaeology arch Cooking cooking cook Fishing fishing fish First Aid (Classic) firstaid faid Additionally, the following conditionals check that the player has at least one skill point in an expansion-introduced trade skill: [cook3], [tail3], [tail6], [fish5], [lw6], [lw7], [eng2], [eng3], [eng4], [eng5], [eng6], [eng7], [eng8], [eng9]. For these, 2 corresponds to Burning Crusade, 3 to Wrath of the Lich King, etc. Note that these do not allow checking how many skill points are in that profession category, so [cook3:75] is not valid.
- havepet:stable slot
- Satisfied if there is a pet in the specified stable slot.
- covenant:kyrian/
venthyr/ (or coven:)nightfae/ necrolord/ fae/ necro - Satisfied when the player character is a member of the specified covenant.

- winterveil
- lunarfestival
- noblegarden
- midsummer
- brewfest
- hallowsend
- worldhover
- Satisfied when the mouse pointer is hovering over the 3D world rather than a mouse-accepting UI element. While in combat, the conditional only updates in response to mouse movement between the 3D world and a UI element (i.e. not to spontaneous appearance or disappearance of UI elements).
For example, [@mouseover,exists,noworldhover] is satisfied when the mouse cursor is over a unit frame, while [@mouseover,exists,worldhover] is satisfied while the mouse cursor is hovering over a targetable entity in the 3D world. - imbuedmh
- Satisfied when your main-hand weapon has a temporary enchantment (poisons, weapon oils, etc).

name=value - Satisfied when the named flag is set (to a specific value, if specified). You can control flag states using the /setflag, /cycleflag, and /randflag commands in M6 macros.
- visual
- Only satisfied while providing action feedback for a macro.
For example, /cast [visual] Moonfire; Rejuvenation will always display the icon, cooldown, and target feedback for Moonfire, but will always cast Rejuvenation.

Non-combat conditionals

For example: [ready:Hearthstone] is satisfied when the player's Hearthstone is not on cooldown.

For example: [have:Healthstone] is satisfied while the player has a Healthstone.
