Okay folks, I now have Dark and Light Staff. I need macro help. Messed with all possible combinations and I am still getting errors. Currently I am using this:
/equip "Light staff" <me>

I've also just tried
/equip "Light staff"

If someone can shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated. Getting tired of switching staves manually. >_<
 
I believe the problem is that you must use the name given on the equipment select side of the screen. Just like the Iron Musketeer's Armet is called Irn.Msk Armet by that side it could be the same for the staffs.. but I'm not sure maybe that's it hope it helps :D

/equip Main "Light Staff"

Main being the main weapon slot.
 
Might as well clear this up...


/equip
main
sub
range
ammo
head
neck
L.ear
R.ear
body
hands
L.ring
R.ring
back
waist
legs
feet

Um... I'll check those two when I get a chance to log onto FFXI, at school right now.

*edit: Fixed.
 
From "/? equip" (not sure if they are case-sensitive):

main
sub
range
ammo
head
neck
L.ear
R.ear
body
hands
L.ring
R.ring
back
waist
legs
feet
 
One thing you might want to try is this: it's all-in-one healing:

Marco: Heal

/equip main "Dark Staff"
/equip main "Light Staff"
/heal

You press it once it should change to whatever staff you are not using and if you are standing you should start healing. When you press it again it should stop your healing as well as switch your staff.

I used this for a ling time with my thief till my macros got way too complexed:

/equip ring1 "Reflex Ring +1"
/equip ring2 "Reflex Ring +1"
/equip ring1 "Balance Ring"
/equip ring2 "Balance Ring"

When I hit it once it would switch rings when I hit the same macro again it would switch back.

And If I am correct, '/heal' is an on/off macro, meaning you type it ones it activates, you type it again it deactivates.

Try it out

You might be asking how this works... "Why doesn't it switch back to the light Staff right after it switches to the Dark staff?"... Well as fate would have it, you can only do one call per slot per macro without a delay, and what ever comes first goes.

For example:

/equip ring1 "Reflex Ring +1"
/equip ring1 "Balance Ring"
/equip ring1 "Beetle Ring +1"

Will only switch between the first two rings, ignoring the beetle ring +1 all together.

Reason:

Hit once:
Calls and sees there is no ring and fills the slot with the Reflex Ring +1
Ignores the next 2 lines because ther is only one command allowed for that slot.

Hit again:
Calls and sees there is a Reflex Ring +1 and ignores the change because there is no change.
See a change in the second line: Balance ring, and Changes it.
Ignores the last line.

Hit again:
Calls and sees there is a change and equips the Reflex Ring +1 and equips it.
Ignores the next two lines.
 
Ok, for all you that know of a slash command but don't know how to use it, try typing /? lsmes (or whatever other command you don't know.) It's a useful feature. ^^
 
also for some items you have to use the abreviated name that appears in the inventory

i.e. to quip the Iron Musketeer's Armet with a macro you must type

/equip Head "Irn.Msk. Armet"
