Almost died because of a broken tambourine...

OK, after 15 years of playing this game I wanna fix this problem. I'm in the Dungeon Destard trying to peace Dragons and my tambourine breaks. I don't realize that right away and the dragon continues to attack. I realize I have to double click the next tambourine in my backpack.

Is there any way to set up a macro use item type to select the next tambourine in my pack? There is a "use item type" in the EC but I couldn't figure out how to get it to work, says "that's not a musical instrument" so it must be targeting something random in my pack.

Well? Has nobody came up with a macro to switch to a new instrument when the one you're using breaks?

Drag more than one to your hot bar in EC.

I'm not following. How does that automatically switch to tambourine #2 when #1 breaks?

Thanks, Merlin, that gave me an idea. In the EC, instead of using the skill directly, I made a macro. The first icon, I dragged the tambourine on to it. The second icon is the skill. I verified that the macro switches to a new tambourine when the first one is broken.

Or you can set it to a key stroke. That way when item #1 breaks, you can just hit keystroke X (or whatever you want the macro to be) to switch to item #2. Def easier than opening your backpack. Also - if you have slayer instruments... there is a separate set of action icons you can drag to your hot bar for each super slayer instrument.

Just something to consider. :)
