Job Crystal macro

k i tried looking for this topic in the forums but is there a way to macro your job crystal because job on just switches you to say pugelist or archer not bard or monk.

/job on/off (self explanitory)
/job (left blank toggles back and forth)
Or just equip a different class weapon without the crystal/macro

Small addition:
Since relic weapons require job crystals equipped, equipping the weapon includes enabling the job crystal automatically.

so basically theres no macro to equip the crystal for mnk or war or the others

You would just have to put in a line to equip your weapon first. So if you wanted to switch to monk it would look like

/equip mh "cobalt claws"
/job on

and then you're a monk.

thats what i have in my macros but it does not put me on monk it just puts me on Pugilist

That's weird, because all my macros, say MNK, WHM, and BLM all start with the 2 lines IBloodmoon suggested and they all work fine everyday.

This is my macro for Monk, for example;

Quote:

---

/equip "Main Hand" "Murderous Mogfists"
/job on
/equip Hands "Temple Gloves"
/equip Feet "Temple Boots"
/equip Head "Temple Circlet"
/equip Body "Temple Cyclas"
/equip Legs "Temple Gaskins"

---

And this is the chatlog message I get when I hit that macro:

Quote:

---

You switch to pugilist.
Pair of Murderous Mogfists equipped.
You switch to monk.
Pair of temple gloves equipped.
Pair of temple boots equipped.
Temple circlet equipped.
Temple cyclas equipped.
Pair of temple gaskins equipped.

Might it be that you have some lag or delay when you use macro? Maybe adding a line of /wait 1 or /wait 2 before and after the "/job on" line can help with that. Not sure what's wrong with your macro. It seems correct.

Aye, almost all my macro problems are fixed with a "/wait"... I'll bet that does the trick.

still not workin i have a wait before the job on and nothing its still giving me the same damn thing

yeah need to put a /wait 2 (or 3) macro in between the weapon and the job change

It must be driving you nuts. From the look of it, there's no reason it shouldn't work. Your macro is correct. Maybe there's some weird technical problem that prevents it from working? This is really strange that it's not working for you.

Oh, have you tried the same pattern of macro for your Archer => Bard? How is it? Does it work?

When you hit Monk macro and it didn't change you to Monk, what does the chatlog say? Is there any macro error message?

Could you post a screenshot of your macro? It could be helpful.

what error does it say in chatlog?

I use macro to switch all jobs never used a /wait just:
/equip mh ""
/job on
one right after the other, you're doing something wrong

i agree with this here. can you post the exact macro you are trying to use to change. the people posting in here are correct with the macro's they are posting.

/equip mh ""
/job on

is correct and i've never had to use wait either.
