New Macro'er needs help

I need to create a macro to do this
I am new to macroquest and would appretiate any help regarding how to do this thanks so much[/quote]Here's how to do it with macroquest. First you'll need the map plug-in and will need to turn it on. Next, turn on your map and turn on all the NPC's in South Karana by typing /mapfilter npc... that will either set it to show or hide.. if it sets it to hide, type it again and it will set it to show. Now you will be looking at all the npc's in south karana. Ok, next step... either pull a ton of mobs and nuke them all at once or otherwise look for an un-named ordinary lion, centuar, aviak, wolf or escaped gnoll that is close to splitpaw and is coming from the south and heading north. As soon as you kill this one or many mobs, start your stop-watch ( you will need one ). Now type: /maphide npc "a". This will clear every single mob from your map with the letter "a" in it which will basically clear your map of everyone except Brother Qwinn. Now.... watch your map... when the re-pops occur they will show up on the map... if you did the multi-mob method then you will probably see a bunch respawn at exactly 38 seconds... type /maphide npc "a" again to clear them from the map. At 78 seconds, IF YOU MANAGED TO KILL THE PH when you started the timer, a mob will appear. This means one of two things... either you have found Quillmane's PH or you have found the only other 78 second respawn that pop's in the southern half of zone. If a mob pops at 78 seconds that is north of paw, it's the wrong PH. Otherwise... as soon as that mob pops, go get him, and kill him again and immediately start your watch. If he respawns at 78 seconds then you either have Quillmane's PH or you have the second "southern- half" 78 second spawn. The way to tell the difference between the 2 78 second mobs is that the wrong one will always spawn on the east side and never the west. The correct spawn will spawn on both east and west side of zone in various random places but always to the south of paw. If you have the correct one... keep killing him and start your watch at 78 seconds everytime you kill him until a quillmane spawns (and start your timer even after you kill quillmane as the cloak is roughly a 1 in 10 chance per quillmane). Use /maphide npc "a" everytime some random garbage in the zone spawns that is not on your cycle. Your map will show you everytime he spawns at 78 seconds and usually on average one out of 10 Ph's will be a quillmane... and one out of 10 quillmanes will drop a cloak... but sometimes it can take up to 30+ PH's for a quillmane to spawn. The most important thing is that you find the PH who is one of only two 78 second spawns in the southern half of zone, and that he is spawning both in the east and west part of the southern half of zone or otherwise you have the 2nd souther half 78 second spawn which is what you don't want. The only hard part is finding the PH... the rest is just starting you timer, clearing the crud that spawns in-between spawns or after spawns using /maphide npc "a", and making sure to watch as the ph keeps respawning. I did this all last night and tonight so I am 100% confident in this information. I am tired of this stupid mob screwing over so many mages (who have no track) in their quest for the obsolete epic 1.0. Hope this helps guys... and btw.. most of the information I have posted was already posted by that RPGExpert.com guy but he was wrong about the idea that there are "six spawn locations" and also wrong in his list of possible PH's... the list is much wider as the PH can be practically anything but is usually a lion, centaur, aviak, shadow wolf, or escaped split-paw gnoll.
