macro not working

ive worked with macros for along time but for some reason this one isnt working.
i had a macro for my miner to have all 6 crystal Ward abilities in one. Which by the way should just be combined anyway since it takes 6 slots just to do 1 thing depending on which crystal im gathering.

i had used it the other day on a fire crystal and it worked, but today im using it on a wind shard and it wont. i removed every other action macro but the exact Ward ability that needs to activate and it still wont, this is what it is:

/ac "Llymlaen's Ward"

The only reason i can think its not working is because its an additional action from botanist and the fire one was a standard action from miner. but if theres another command that makes additional actions work then i dont know what it is, i only know of /ac or /pvpaction

anyone know why this wont work and how to make it work?

Try <me> at the end?

yup tried that too, and <t> in case it was something to be used on the node

Isn't it "Llymlaen's Ward" (With 2 Ls)?

You can also use auto-translator to avoid any kind of spelling error in the future, it works with macro too.

im sorry your right i didnt copy paste it but i do have it in game with the 2 Ls. ill edit my original post for the correct one.
i checked that a bunch of times having them both up next to each other to make sure i spelled it right a bunch but yeah the spelling is correct in game but still not working

edit: i tried replacing the name in the macro with the auto translate version just to make super sure but it still dont work :(
also it doesnt pop up with any kind of error anywhere it just doesnt do anything

Well that's weird, I just tried it out and it works for me(I used auto-translator for skill name though).
Maybe you didn't have enough GP at that time?
Also some of the mining spots have more than one type of shards in it so it might cause problem in the future.

interesting, would you mind copying the text here so i can try as a copy and paste?
but also before i made this thread i was making sure it was a macro issue by having the macro on my hotbar and next to it i put the original action on my hotbar and im able to activate the original just not the macro. im testing in the east shroud with the wind shard, there are occasionally wind crystals but i imagine that would mess with the action

actually i tried a few more QC things to see what was wrong. i made a brand new macro on a new slot and that one worked. then i tried going back to the original macro and it didnt work but i had another macro in there that i really didnt think was affecting anything: /micon "Llymlaen's Ward" just to get the icon of the ability. That /micon was working but removing that is what fixed the /ac "Lymlaen's Ward" without needing any adjustments. so i guess getting a macro icon somehow breaks it

edit: and now with more testing, having /micon "Llymlaen's Ward" written out is what breaks it. the same macro with auto translate instead of written in quotes does not break it. but even the version with it written out in quotes was working because it was getting the icon so its strange why that one breaks it
