Advanced Macro Guide

Welcome to this advanced macro guide and the last in its series. The earlier guides can be found in the links at the bottom of this page. Here I will run through the macros that you should start to incorporate at level 30 and onwards. That isn't to say that they can't be used earlier than this level but are more of a reflection of the advanced jobs available from this level and the ever increasing amount of gear you will undoubtedly have acquired.
==Equipsets==
Technically this feature is out of era for Eden but it is most certainly a welcome one. As I have often said in these guides, equipsets have largely been replaced by 3rd party addons however, in my opinion, equipsets are still more than acceptable to use in FFXI. If you are a hardcore min/maxer or have some background in coding, you may wish to check out Gearswap/Ashitacast.
So, an /equipset macro looks like this:
:
There is of course a little more to it than just that. At the moment, using this macro will do nothing. You need to go into your menus, find and select macros and then edit equip. set. This is where you can find and make all of your equipsets and a total of 100 may be created.
You now need to navigate to Set001 and select it. You will then have several options to choose from.
: 
* Edit:- This option brings up the equipment screen where you can select which pieces of equipment you would like to set to this equipset.
* Change Name:- As the name suggests, this allows you to name the equipset. Be aware however, when you are using this equipset, you must still refer to it as /equipset # and not the name you give it.
* Copy:- Copies the currently selected equipset.
* Paste:- Pastes the most recently copied equipset.
* Delete:- Deletes the selected equipset.
* Use Current:- This option will save your currently equipped gear to the selected equipset.
* Equip:- Equips the selected equipset.
* Style Lock:- Whilst I have never tried this option, I believe it doesn't work on Eden.

==Further Reading==
This is just a beginner's guide to macros. They are much more in-depth and useful than described here and i would recommend reading at least the Intermediate Macro Guide before attempting your first XP party.
