Druids and Priests have at least one form that typically uses skills as well, and Warrior stances all have restrictions on what can be used with them. Rogues, for instance, have certain abilities that only function in stealth. Some classes have certain modes they can enter where they would use different ability sets. Because of this, if you were using the cycle method first, you might have some items in your new bar when you first add it. It should also be noted that these are actually the same six bars you can cycle between, and each position "takes up" a particular bar, meaning you will no longer cycle along that bar. You can not set hotkeys to these extra bars. If you choose to do this, the action bars will be clear, so you may not realize they are there until you try to drag an ability the boxes darken so you can see them when you do this. At the top of the screen will be choices to add other action bars - to the lower-left of the screen, to the lower-right, and two down the right edge of the screen. To place an additional action bar on the screen, you can open the options menu by pressing Escape, click on Interface Options, and then go to the Advanced Options tab. If you click these arrows, or press shift-up and shift-down on the keyboard, you will move to a fresh action bar. At the right end of your action bar should be a number one, with a small up and down arrow above and below it. The first is to simply cycle to another bar.

There are two ways to give yourself more places to put your activated abilities. The final option for adding to an action bar is a macro. When clicking on the action bar, use a left click even though you would normally right-click these items from a bag. To place these items on your action bar, find them in your inventory (or your character window) and drag them to the action bar the same way. For example, food and drink, or any other item that is used by right-clicking it. There are things that can be put on an action bar besides class abilities, however. If you replace an old skill, it will then be put on the cursor and you can either relocate it or click in the main window to "drop" it. Then drag the ability onto the action bar in the position you want it. You will need to open your spellbook ( default key: P) and find that ability in it. Adding to an Action BarĪs your character gains new things to put in an action bar, they will not appear there immediately.

Pressing the key that corresponds to the box that item is in or clicking that box with the mouse will activate it. When a character is first created, a few basic abilities are placed in the action bar, including basic attack, two class abilities, at least one racial ability, and the Food and Drink in their backpack.
