Off Hand Macro Error

[Drazzan]

Hey!

Just to quickly report that it seems the macro for equipping sub weapons (i.e. Shields) is no longer working.

Testing with my "Shield of the Savage" and my friend also using "Dated Bronze Scutum" we couldn't seem to activate the macro.

We tried various commands such as;

/equip sub "item"
/equip Sub "item"
/equip off "item"
/equip Off "item"

and every other iteration we could think of with and without opening caps.

Any news and/or information would be greatly appreciated! ^~^

Best regards,

Drazzan

Same goes with main hand.
People said /equip main "Item" no longer works.

My macros don't have any problem because I always use full words from auto-translation in my macros.
It's /equip "Main Hand" "Item" and /equip "Off Hand" "Item" by the way.

Other people said /equip mh "Item" and /equip of "Item" are working though.


*edit*
I was meant to type "oh" but it became "of." Bad me!
Thank you for the correct input.

From the 1.19 patch notes:

The following subcommands have been revised as follows:
main → mh
sub/off → oh

So the correct macros for Drazzan and his friend would be:

/equip oh "Shield Of The Salvage"
/equip oh "Dated Bronze Scutum"

Regards^^

EDIT

I highly recommend consulting the patch notes that Umo referred to, as well as trying the commands as Umo posted. Please let us know if this works out for you by posting in this thread. If you continue to have troubles after doing so, it would be very helpful if you could provide us the information that Qeepel requested. Thanks again to all of you for your participation!

Thank you Baccanale... You'll be always on the top!
