Saleen’s Equipment Swap Macro Guide

Written By Saleen of Caitsith

 

General Outline for equipment swapping:

/equip <slot> "Name of Item"

Example:
/equip Main "Death Scythe"
/equip Neck "Healing Torque"
/equip Waist "Warwolf Belt"

You DO NOT have to put <me> afterwards, and you DO NOT need to put a wait in between each line for Equipment. The slot description does NOT have to be capitalized, however the name of the item in quotes must match EXACTLY as the spelling of the item in your inventory.

For example with the slot:
/equip Main "Death Scythe"
is the same as
/equip main "Death Scythe"

However, as said before, the name of the item must match exactly as the description in your inventory.

For example:
/equip Main "Death Scythe"
is correct, however,
/equip Main "death scythe" is not.

A list of the slots to switch gear in and out of are:
 

Main
Sub
Range
Ammo
Head
Neck
Ear1
Ear2
Body
Hands
Ring1
Ring2
Back
Waist
Legs
Feet


So lets say you have 3 pieces of equipment you would like to swap out for a Weaponskill. The three pieces of equipment are hands, neck, and your first Ring slot.

The macro would look something like this:

/equip Hands "Ogygos Bracelets"
/equip Neck "Spike Necklace"
/equip Ring1 "Sun Ring"
/ws "Fast Blade" <t>

As I mentioned before, you do not need to put a wait in between the equipment changes. However, if you were to add in another ability such as Sneak Attack, then you would need a wait between the Sneak Attack and the WS to perform it successfully.

Now lets say you have more then 5-6 items you want to macro in for a WS, but there are only 6 lines per macro. What I have done in my macro set (I currently have 10 pieces of equipment that get swapped in and out) is made 2 seperate macros for equipment only. I place these macros next to my WS lines so that they are easily accessible. You place 6 pieces into one, and the remaining into another. Then you can keep the WS macro with only the WS line in it. When you are ready for a WS you hit both the macros BEFORE the WS macro to equip everything you need, then fire off the WS macro. Once the WS is done, I have 2 other seperate Macros to equip the original equipment (Acc and Attack equipment).

Example:
 

Alt Lines:

0- STR (equips 6 pieces of equipment)
1- STR (equips the remaining equipment for the WS)
2- SA
3- TA
4- WS
5- WS
6- WS
7-
8- ACC (equips 6 Accuracy and attack items back in their slots)
9- ACC (equips the remaining gear back into their slots)


Of course everyone will have a different setup, but this is just one general example of how you can have the macros set up so that you can easily access the macros to swap gear.

You can also make only one STR macro (6 items) and then put the remaining into the WS slots, but like I said, its all in preference of how one would want to set it up.
