You have way too many <if status="engaged"> lines that are probably creating conflicts between <equip> commands. This can be fixed, but unless you list what sets you want and how you want to prioritize them, not much can be done about that. From what I see, you have these sets:

- Idle
- Gear (Weapons? idk)
- Ukko's (NQ/Abyssea/VW + Berserk)
- Embrava (Is this the same regardless of event/buffs or what?)
- Fast Cast
- PDT (Mid/High)
- MDT
- Utsu (Ichi/Ni)
- TP (NQ/VW)
- Cleave (NQ/SP)
- NQ WS sets

May as well move Abyssea and VW sets to another group tbh. Remove the "gear" set imo; just wasting a valued set-search spot.

Group: NQ
** BlankSet (Add this set; don't include any gear though)
** Idle
** TP-NQ
** TP-ACC
** Ukko-NoBerserk
** Ukko-Berserk
** Restraint
** WS-NQ
** WS-MS
** PDT-1
** PDT-2
** Fast Cast
** Embrava

From there, only add sets that change from the original
ex:
Group: Abyssea
** TP-NQ

Only add pieces that change from the original set. Leave idle the same since there is no Abyssea-specific idle set. Anyways, say whether Embrava should be the same for any TP set and this will be easier to fix up tomorrow. May end up rewriting the entire XML.

Wow! thanks for the advice! the "gear" set is for gear collector, still remove it? I tried to minimize the amount of sets I have now. I'm curious about the WS-NQ and WS-MS sets, because Upheaval and Fell Cleave have different elemental alignments. Can I get away w/ the same WS-NQ and WS-MS sets for Upheaval and Cleave? Atm I have Cleave and Cleave-MS, same for Upheaval. I'd also like a TP set for Voidwatch too, But you didn't recommend it can that be added? As for Embrava, Id like it to be for every TP set but Voidwatch TP set. Could I get some help rewriting the xml? As you can tell I copied and pasted to create this one.

You don't need remove the set if for gear collector, but do move to the bottom since Spellcast checks sets like a list (Starts at the top of the sets and reads the rest ordered), so you want your most used sets at the top. I can take a look at this after Legion (Maybe meedles if Legion takes a while) though.

Try that. The line for trigger spells is /trigger "Trigger#"

Didn't add Fell Cleave set, but just look at Upheaval to see how that should look. When making a VW set, name the set the same as the "Standard" group and only add gear that changes.

<set name="TP-Standard"> NOT <set name="TP-VW">

**Selassie** · 2012-12-02 02:15

Thanks! This is amazing! I think I can handle adding the cleave sets. As for the TP-VW set, I'm confused. Do I create a "Voidwatch" group and use the same set name "TP-Standard" from the "standard" group, but only add the gear that I want equipped/that differs from my "TP-Standard" set when Voidwatch status is on?

**Yugl** · 2012-12-02 02:18

The VW group is already made for you, but the rest of what you said is correct.

**Selassie** · 2012-12-02 03:12

Okay, thank you. Also, about the //trigger "trigger#". #2 is TP-ACC, #3-5 are the Pdt sets, but how do those work? Confused, but most thankful!

**Yugl** · 2012-12-02 03:28

Change the TP set from TP-Standard to TP-NQ where seen.

Trigger2: Changes between NQ and ACC set
Trigger3: Remove PDT set
Trigger4: Equip PDT set
Trigger5: Change the PDT level (You had mid/fullPDT, so that's how you'll change the levels now)

**buddyslack** · 2012-12-02 09:52

I've got motes thfv3 spellcast working, i just can't figure out what to type in my macro to cycle through TH modes, can someone help?

Thanks for all the help! Does the PDT-0 set need to be a blank set? and the PDT-1/PDT-2 are the mid/fullPDT sets?

**Yugl** · 2012-12-02 11:44

You can delete PDT-0; that was going to be BlankSet initially, but I decided against that idea.

Thank you Yugl!

**Selassie** · 2012-12-02 13:00

I'm getting an error when I engage, well not an error, but this...

Spellcast: Did not find Set: TP-NQ in group: Standard
Spellcast: Did not find Set: PDT(Active) in group: Standard

I changed the "NQ" to "Standard" in the variables, not sure if that will fix it or what to do about the PDT varaible.
Thanks in advance!

**Yugl** · 2012-12-02 13:03

**Selassie** · 2012-12-02 13:25

Thanks, That fixed it. I'm still confused about the Triggers. How do I input these into the FFXI macro system? I can manually do it but not working in the macros.

doing //spell in macros was broken a while back, just try:

/ma Trigger1 <me>

or something.

**Yugl** · 2012-12-02 13:35

That or /trigger Trigger1
They have /trigger as commandprefix, so I assume /trigger works.

**Selassie** · 2012-12-02 13:48

Im currently doing a VW run, and everytime I engage or do some JA's or WS, im getting this each time. Floods the console window.

Spellcast: Did not find Set: group in Group: Standard

**grevenilvec75** · 2012-12-02 13:51

I think all those lines that say:

sc set group Abyssea

should just say

sc group Abyssea

ditto for voidwatch etc

Code:

		<!-- Automatically changes the group -->
		<if Area="Abyssea" notGroup="Abyssea">
			<cmd>sc set group Abyssea"</cmd>
		</if>
		<elseif Buffactive="Voidwatcher" notGroup="VW">
			<cmd>sc set group VW"</cmd>
		</elseif>
		<elseif Area="*Legion" notGroup="Legion">
			<cmd>sc set group Legion"</cmd>
		</elseif>
		<elseif notGroup="Standard">
			<cmd>sc set group Standard"</cmd>
		</elseif>

in particular

**Selassie** · 2012-12-02 14:21

I believe that fixed it, thanks. It now shows in the console window, which group is set... over and over and over.. is there a way to turn this notification off?
