Gearswapping in Final Fantasy XI is a player term that specifically refers to changing one's Equipment for the current situation, even while in battle. Final Fantasy XI is unusual in that outside of PvP, the game does not deliberately penalize changing armor while in combat (although changing weapon does incur the loss of all TP). As a result, competent players will build up numerous sets of equipment and develop macros to change between them in a second.

  • Gearswapping in Final Fantasy XI is a player term that specifically refers to changing one's Equipment for the current situation, even while in battle. Final Fantasy XI is unusual in that outside of PvP, the game does not deliberately penalize changing armor while in combat (although changing weapon does incur the loss of all TP). As a result, competent players will build up numerous sets of equipment and develop macros to change between them in a second. Annoyingly, whenever a player changes visible equipment, they become invisible for a brief moment, and other players lose target on them. (This also interrupts movement.) This unwanted "blinking" effect is the reason that there is a penalty in PvP for changing equipment. The development team has repeatedly asserted that fixing this is impossible, although there is a third party tool to do it.
