Duplicate /equip error

[Loren]

With Rings, I think the problem is that if you try to equip two of the same ring one after the other, the game tries to equip one ring in both slots and fails, because the first equip hasn't finished by the time the second one starts.

I found the above quote in the "Delay after equipment swap?" thread further down.

Has anyone found a workaround for duplicate rings not equipping properly?
Specifically, my RDM Para/Slow/Stoneskin macros have:
/equip Ring1 "Aqua Ring"
/equip Ring2" Aqua Ring"

and my nuke macros have:
/equip Ring1 "Snow Ring"
/equip Ring2 "Snow Ring"

This works about 90% of the time, but occasionally I get either one or two red lines of "Unable to change equipment" and I'm left with either 1 or none of the intended rings. Whether or not it occurs seems totally random. I don't really have room for /waits...

Tried putting one at the start and one at the end of your macro? That usually worked for me.

Splitting the lines to start & end of will fix the problem garunteed.

Sniper+1 doesn't seem to add much to my Sneak Attack damage...

I'll try reordering the lines.

As far as the OP goes, I used to have this issue all the time, lately it hasn't been messing up.. equipping two of the same ring/earring/etc no problem. Now if only the stupid main weapon before subweapon thing wouldn't take so long -.- having to push same macro to equip new weapons multiple times ftl.

Depends on how shitty your pc is too. In high lag situations, even splitting the rings at the start/end of the macro doesn't always work for me, sometimes I have to put a pause in

[socoxak]

/equip Ring1 "Snow Ring"
/equip Ring2 "Snow Ring"

I always use L.Ring and R.Ring instead and never have a problem.

i think the problem is in having 2 identical rings to choose from. i remember one time i was picking at my bst gear and was trying only using 1 loyalty ring in my charm setup (don't ask why, i r stoopid. just run with me for now.) if i already had it equipped, in that slot, it would throw an error trying to equip, i believe. making the other item inacessible (bazaar it for 99,999,999 so it can't be equipped.) allowed the macro to flow smoothly. i don't know if this info helps any, but i think the problem is that the game must choose which instance to equip and it gets confused. go ahead and flame away.

splitting the lines worked for me

You just have to put one line in between each duplicate line.

/equip ear1 "Eris' Earring"
/equip hands "Seiryu's Kote"
/equip ear2 "Eris' Earring"

That always worked for me.

On Whm which I've been begrudgingly picking at to get it to fully subbable level, I have this compulsion to keep Int rings in case I'm landing Blind, or if the party is PLed and I get so bored I just start nuking.

/equip ring1 "Eremite's ring"
/equip ring2 "Eremite's ring"
/ma "Fire" <t>
/wait 3
/equip ring1 "Saintly ring"
/equip ring2 "Saintly ring"

Never had a problem unless I was spamming it.

[archibaldcrane]

/equip Ring1 "Snow Ring"
/equip Ring2 "Snow Ring"

I always use L.Ring and R.Ring instead and never have a problem.

This is the most correct answer.
