    This suggestion is about wanting to add a so-called "Gears Switching System" which allow players to use keyboard to switch their gears conveniently.

    In MapleLegends, as my own experience, there are several scenarios where this function matters. (Including but not limited to)
    1. For hybrid warriors, switching different weapons fast can reach their attack potential (especially DK's Crusher and Dragon Fury).
    2. For arcmages, switching different elemental staff/wand can improve specific elemental magic attack.
    3. For all maplers, switching different gears with a kinda stat can increase efficiency (Red Whip in town, you know).

    And here I have 2 patterns about this system:
    1. Add a "Key" which serve as "Gears Switching Key", so that you can press it to switch all of your gears in rotation after "Gears Group Setting" (group 1 → group 2 → group 3 → group 1 → ...).
    2. Enable Gears to use from keyboard.

    Hope this opinion can be adopted!Happy Maplelegends!

    Would definitely be helpful for swapping to intgear as well, would be pretty cool if it was possible to implement something like this. A lot of the modern games have a similar system.

    While this is a very cool feature in a bunch of MMO's, I don't think it's remotely feasible to implement in (this version of) MapleStory.
    Practically speaking, how would you assign gears to a 'group'? Would staff have to design/implement an entirely new window for this? That doesn't sound worth the effort.

    Allow eq to be dropped into the skills macro tab could be logistically easier than creating a custom window.

    Would this bypass the need to return to idle state in order to change equips?

    I think a system like this promotes extreme laziness. In the worst case where you would have to change every single slot you have equipped, it would still only take like 15-20 seconds max.

    I also don't know much about programming, but I could imagine this would open up a bunch of potential glitches, if it's even possible to add at all in this version.

    I like this idea, as a Ragnarok player is nice when u can use a key as gear change

    Sounds like a big mess to make just to make metaslaving easier, if you care so much about efficiency

    If you're familiar with it, this is a thing in flyff and its such stupid gameplay. Equips/builds have their pros and cons and if you can just switch it up with the click of a button this becomes messy.

    You already have to open your inventory when you change your activity, town scrolls and so on. And you cant change mid-combat anyways the delay to get your breath back more or less covers the time it would take to navitage to your equips.

    as a nx hoe it sounds nice to swap sets easily but again its so much effort for a niche QoL
