How Gear Swapping Works: Simple Macros for the Simple Minded

[Reiterpallasch]

Should put up in the largest font how <stal> works and why every mage you should use it not matter what. Its even the best way to heal while using a controler so those pesky ps2 players have no reason not to use it.

But we'll still get people who have never actually used it to come in spouting how we're wrong and that it still makes you lose target when people blink.

The biggest problem with stal and stpt for me is that you don't instantly see how far away they are, sometimes leading to "target is too far away".

I love this thread.

If only SE would adapt Windower into the actual game so you wouldn't have to deal with those GOD FORSAKEN limited macros.

Being able to change all your PDT gear or MDT gear at once is kind of a game changer at times.

... not that I use it or anything

We're all the same and hear you loud and clear >.> lol

As for the guide it's very nice and put together well, would be good for misinformed or new people !

Pfffffffft skill>gear when you can solo 5 ep mobs at level 30.



Great guide though, but I fear it will just be a new place to start flames.

I've been playing for about 2 years now... How did I not know about <stal>?

Yeah, my noobishness is very apparent here, but THANK YOU!

Because <t> is the default go-to (effortless) targeting command for everything. It's all good though since you learned, which is the point of the thread.

Now we need a discussion on the good and awesomeness that is <stnpc> for all my mob-engaged bretheren.

Gear swapping is just how this game works. I'll admit when I first came to FFXI, my brain was still in table-top D&D mode, where swapping gear would cost entire rounds of turns, but even with the standard couple lines of macro default in-game, there's really no excuse not to do it. Thank you OP for this guide, it would've saved me a LOT of trouble 5 years ago, lmao.
