downside to Wardrobe

i today have only just realized i never needed to add a <me> on the end of an equip macro, all my equip macros are for example: /equip main "dark staff" <me>

now with the introduction of the wardrobe anything with "<me>" at the end of an equip macro simply wont function and so now im going to have to spend a couple of hours fixing all my macros and taking the <me> out of each and every one.

No no actually they want you to add a 0 or 1, so /equip "dark staff" 1 with 1 being the wardrobe and 0 well, being the item pack.

it does require fiddling with some macros to get thigns working again, however, one thing I realized is that the introduction of the wardrobe solves an issue that was experienced with Trial weapons- You can put 2 items iwth the same name in different bags to differentiate them.

Clou777,


The <me> place-holder indeed confuses the command. It looks to me that it was never read before, so you were fine. Now, however, the command does take an additional argument, that being the storage number.

This, of course, means that it's pancaking about your storage number being your name, which obviously doesn't exist.

You can leave the <me> around if you wish, as long as you specify a proper storage number before it.

The alternative is to remove <me> completely.


So if you were to ask me, I would say it is not a downside of the wardrobe, but a downside of an erroneous command-line argument. ^^

That is not required, however.

If the storage is not specified, both are searched automagically. I imagine it may help prevent lag-issues and such to specify it, as well as equipping items with the same name, as Alhanelem pointed out.

So far the only 'downside' I have noted is that currently, attacks that strip you of your gear also auto-reset you to Inventory storage option over Wardrobe storage option from Equip screen (whereas normally each slot seems to be 'saved' and auto-opens the last one you used for it). It's very minor, since it adds less than a second to 'putting the gear back on' for things like Feathered Furore, and at least in my case I have basic re-equip macros for when fighting things I know will take it all off, but it was at least a little notable.

What we really 'need' is a 'Search And Replace' subfunction for Macro lines. I know career mages that would weep with joy...

While doing WoE with friends yesterday I faced that issue (antlions) and it was a pain to re-equip due to how the menu works now.

For people who don't use 3rd party tools the only way to resolve the issue currently is macros. (which at the time I did not have lol)

It it was a horribly tight fight where precision is key (Delve) I would certainly cause great grief to my friends.... >_<
