Having a little annoying issue with my windower macros and was hoping someone could offer some insight. Whenever I execute a certain macro, whether it be my mnd set, int, etc. occasionally, one or two pieces of equipment don't seem to change in my macro. This happens most often with my MND macro, for some reason, the second ring doesn't change sometimes, same thing for my INT set, even though both are written correctly.

Any idea as to what can cause this? Thanks in advance.

Two of the same item will never swap correctly in a windower macro.

Just manually add to your macro line ingame "/equip ring2 "MND ring" <me>"

It'd help if you posted the macro itself. That way we can see if there is a spelling error or something. As of now, i'd have no idea why it wouldn't work. :(

The macro looks like this, but I'm guessing what ent said is probably my problem.

input /equip main "Mythic Wand +1";
input /equip sub "Numinous Shield";
input /equip range " ";
input /equip ammo "Sturm's Report";

input /equip ear1 "Geist earring";
input /equip head "Teal Chapeau";
input /equip ear2 "Star earring";
input /equip neck "Promise Badge";

input /equip ring1 "Sapphire Ring";
input /equip body "Errant Houppelande";
input /equip ring2 "Sapphire Ring";
input /equip hands "Devotee's Mitts +1";

input /equip back "Sunbeam Belt";
input /equip waist "Witch Sash";
input /equip legs "Mahatma Slops";
input /equip feet "Teal Pigaches";

Ah, yeah. That's it. I was having that problem with BLM. And since you probably used the gear sets from this site probably not misspelled lol.

So for the macro would it correctly be something like,

line 1 /console exec rdm/whatever.txt
line 2 /equip ring2 "mnd ring"

and then carry on with the rest of the macro as I would normally?

Still didn't work >.<

Anyone have an example of what one of their similar macros might look like?

Change your macro to this. Items with the same name will bug your macros if put too close together. The old macro tries to equip the same Sapphire ring to both hands, ignoring the fact that you have a second one.

Most if not all of my macros are 10+ pieces so I usually have Ring1/Ear1 at the top of the list and then Ring2/Ear2 at the bottom and I never have any issues.

Alternatively you may have rings/earrings in different slots on various macros. Let's say for example you have in a TP set Ring1 as Rajas Ring and Ring2 as Toreador's ring, but in your damage reduction you could have set Ring1 as Jelly Ring and Ring2 as Rajas ring so it get confused as it's trying to switch a ring from one slot to another while already equipped. This has caught me out a few times when remaking sets while bored and end up with Triumph Ring as a TP ring when testing them out.


Edit: Guy above beat me to it.
