Enter Macro Commands:

Replace the highlighted words with your own before copying.
What it does
Puts the named weapon in your main hand (slot 16) and the named item in your off hand (slot 17).
How to use
Replace the placeholders with the items' exact names. Make one macro per set you switch between, such as two-hander and one-hander with shield.
Requirements
- From level 1
Nothing beyond the spells in the macro.
How it works
/equipslot 16 <<Main-hand weapon>>- Equip <<Main-hand weapon>> in slot 16
/equipslot 17 <<Off-hand item>>- Equip <<Off-hand item>> in slot 17
Limitations
- To equip a two-handed weapon, keep only the first line.
- Weapons can be swapped in combat, armor can't; a swap restarts your swing timer.
