Weapon swap, armor sets?

Hi, I'm completely new to the game, started out yesterday. I know it's criminal to compare Ryzom to World of Warcraft, but I'm missing one thing,
and that's a feature/addon for swapping weapons with a key, and for
equipping an armor set with one click. I was thinking of saving some light
armor for my warrior, for occassions he might want to go spellcaster, but
it seems like too big a hazzle to equip everything manually.

Any ideas?

Sorry it isn't possible to change equipment with a keypress.

There are three ways to equip equiment.

Open the inventory, right click the item you want to equip, choose 'Equip' in the context menu
Open the inventory window, choose the equip tab, and select the body part/item part you want to equip. You will get a selection of items, to equip at that particular position
Hands bar, select right hand and choose the item you want to equip. Left hand can only be equipped, if right hand is equiped already

Not macro-able at all?

fraid not, option 2) above is the best one for armor and jewels, after a few weeks of grinding your teeth you'll get used to it hopefully o.o

Funny that a game so 'open', with so much freedom, offers nothing in the
customization/addon area. But that's about the only (quite big for me
personally) con I've been able to find with this game so far. That, and that
the buttons (accept, next etc) are a bit small. I'm sure I'll get used to it,
thanks for the replies!

I'm ever thankful that I can change my clothes without having to undress first - having to run back to my apartment every time I wanted to try a new outfit on would be bound to break the lifts in no time.

I was frustrated by this too, especially with weapons, until I realized there'd be no point to making it macroable or hotbar-able. The reason is that, every item you switch, there is a "re-equip" time. Your character can't do anything while re-equipping anyway... so there'd be no point to making a hotbar button for equipping a whole suit of armor. You'd still have to stand there for the re-equip time for 6 or so pieces of armor anyway. It wouldn't change in the blink of an eye. The same is true for weapons, etc.

The point is convenience. Even if it takes the same amount of computer time, it would be nice not to have to do all the repetitive clicking for nothing. I'd take it a step beyond just equiping: It would be nice to be able to group a set of items and move them to a packer in one action as well. That way I could move all of my focus gear to and from the packer in a much easier way.

Sure, it's a nit, but the act of switching from hunting mode to foraging is a bit annoying with a lot of unnecessary clicking.

What more can we do? hehe

Well, it's just tons of excessive clicking. Just to equip one item in my
inventory, I have to click atleast two times. For me it's not about
swapping gear in combat and do it quick.. it's about being able to organize
your stuff and not having to get a mouse-arm just to swap equipment set
when I want to heal in a team *grins*

It's also about being able to craft stuff without selling parts of my
healing/mage-set by mistake when I'm to vendor all the stuff I made

Would be nice with some sort of bags or other sollution.

I hope for a future addition of this kind!
