This video doesn't go over my keybinds, as that's going to vary depending on what's comfy for you personally. But for those curious, I use 1-6, Shift 1-5, Ctrl 1-5, Alt 1-3, and a bunch of random letters, like Q and E, shift+Q and shift+E, C, shift+C, ctrl+C, and so on. I also use a few extra gaming mouse buttons. You can free up Q and E by changing "Strafe Left" to A and "Strafe Right" to D, & then using your mouse to turn. I freed up C by making the Character Panel open with Page Down. Basically, buttons like "C" that are near movement keys are better for combat abilities, and I like to put menu buttons further away on the keyboard from QASD.
I hate using the numbers for main skills, my hand wants to be lower. My keybinds are:
ASD = Strafe left, move forward, strafe right.
FQWERXV Mouse3 1234
Above + shift
Above + ctrl
Mouse 4 and 5 cycle targets, shift versions control auto run and walk. I put my main combos on the FQ's, my stuns/interrupts on the E's, my AOE's on the X's, my healing and defensive cooldowns on the numbers etc.
Same for WoW aswell. I can never find a good button for move backward though without tying up my fingers. Any suggestions?
easytos I tried this before on the keyboard and it caused the character camera to move instead of the hud. Do you know why this could be happening?
@@Shark-vx7nl Did you set the keybinds like in the picture? Also if you use the numpad make sure you have numlock on when you need to use the number keys and not the arrow keys. The arrow keys will move the camera like that.
For my keybinds I have 3 hot bars stacked on each other and use 1-= for one, Shift+1-= for the second and ctrl 1-= for the third. I have a gaming mouse with two extra buttons by my thumb to use shift and ctrl easier. Most of my commonly used abilities about 1-4 on each of the hot bars so my fingers don't stray too far from QWE when I'm casting stuff.
easytos ok thanks it worked!
The other day I made a macro where I dismount and level sync at the same time. I felt like I should interview with google after that lmao
mate don't leave me hangin, I need that macro. spit it
Ya gotta share it!
pls share :D
@@CinnamonPanda
/mount
/levelsync on
Enjoy :3
@@3lawiGamer oh meh... its 2 lines... I feel so dumb now for not thinking about that :/ thanks for macro though! :)
Oh hey, I’m Garnet Divine at 7:07. I’m glad you like it!
The amount of customization the Squeenix put into the UI design is honestly fantastic. Also, I made job switch macros so that when it switches jobs, they'll automatically draw their weapon and do either a battle stance or victory pose depending on which looks more battle ready ^_^ I love it
add the snap fingers emote just before switch :D
Didn't know you could split your own buffs/debuffs, that's actually so helpful :O
I didnt know this either and I've been playing for like 6 years lmao
Me neither. Playing for 9 years xD
I want you to know videos like this will be appreciated by people for years to come. Thank you!
Welp... I guess it's time I finally do something about my HUD setup 😅
Great video as always!
you can also just go to Keybind > System and set the HUD Layouts to a key
Thanks! My UI looks beautiful now, and I can smoothly switch between my Limsa full with Emotes / Jobs and Menu points / Raiding UI'S !
Thank you SO MUCH
I recently made some modifications to my HUD that are closer to what you use and it's made things so much better! I already had a lot of the same stuff going on; the gigantic flying text or putting the target's progress bar near the middle. However, splitting up the personal debuffs and buffs is a complete game changer that I never thought of before! Thank you so much for the guide!!
Yes I really liked the target action casting bar as separate, I make it the largest I can (I think 200%) and almost center of the screen so I don't get caught out by certain casts especially ones that require actions.
Thanks for this! I actually use the different HUD layouts keybind them like this: 1=F1-MSQ (tons of stuff on screen) 2= F2-Dungeons/DPS (streamlined) 3=F3-Dungeons/Healer/Tank (streamlined with party and enemy list larger and centralized) 4= F4-unused. I think I'll use #4 for job.
switch menu now!! It's nice to just hit an F key to quickly switch HUDS.
This video is bunderful! I cannot wait to split up those status bars and target info bars. Thank you for taking the time.
This was really inspirational and helpful! Also, whenever you say "hey, buns." my heart melts.
I was familiar with most of this but the job change menu using a different HUD layout was actually a brilliant idea, so thank you for that. :D
It's not a great idea. If you're dedicated enough to use a macro menu, use 3 HUDs for each type of job(tank/healer/DPS) and just use the hotbars as a menu with /hotbar display # on/off, and give the initial menu button a "/hotbar display # on / /display hotbar # off" to make it automatically go away if you don't choose a class. I've been using this for years. It also helps if you make it into a 3x4 hotbar instead of the default 1x12.
@@beefytaquitos the difference is, this way I can keep those bars with the buttons hidden and not cluttering my screen, and just have one button instead to call them up. I've already set it up and it works great
@@beefytaquitos I have a similar system to this, except it is also layered under some more useful items like food and my companion mount. It's very useful to set it up since it feels like making your own menu in the game
@@beefytaquitos nobody cares
@@바보Queen Patently untrue. also nice necro, loser
Awesome video, you not only showed us how to change the hudl but also why it's important vs difficult content and being able to see it more clearly :)
I'm super new to FFXIV and i gotta say your videos keep popping up. Thank you for being such a legend and super helpful with everything. You're truly of a fountain of knowledge!
Thanks for that! I was so curious about the Job Menu thing. Love it!
I def felt like an expert about making "menus" and stuff but you taught me a whole new thing about going to other hud layouts! I am not sure I'll use it with my current set up but thats really really cool that we have that option!
DAMN! Yes! I did not know I would get such a usefull info out of this, but hell yeah. That boss casting split is huge! Thank you
The jobs one is so awesome! Thank you for sharing! 🥰
I saw the job switcher you had in another video of yours and immediately looked to see if you had a UI video to learn it.
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.
Thank you, this was sosososososo helpful - I've been working on my UI for a couple of days and a few of these things were just stumping me - flying text, where to put effects and enemy bars, and also wanting an easy access job switch. This was exactly what I needed.
Thank you bun! I started using the macro one :D Didn't know about the splitting of the target bar. Gonna help a lot with mechanics!
Thank you! The HUD's customizability is pretty overwhelming and it helps a lot to have someone show me a few tricks to make my life easier.
I especially liked your tips for making critical combat info more visible - I'm hitting my stuns a lot more often.
I'm going to come back to the job macros someday. Too much for me to change and learn all at once. :3
Thank you again!
Thanks to both you and the Masters of reddit simplicity! Got some ideas from this video. Had the most common jobs always showing on the screen and was contemplating ways to hide them since they were taking up so much space.
This is probably the most helpful video I've found for explaining how to customize the UI. Thank you so much!
Just recently started playing about a month ago and I'm finding this video SUPER helpful. Thank you for making it!
You are a lifesaver! You have no idea how much this helped me!
How do you keep making videos on things I'm literally thinking about going over or working on?! Thanks, lol. I needed this.
Dude same! i was just thinking this, this is like the 3rd time in a row where I was wondering something and she made a video about it shortly after.
Right?
Exactly!
This was something I thought about before logging off today and I just so happened to end up on CZcams before bed and this video comes up in my recommended... I didn’t even have to search for it. Crazy!
I’m a bit late to the party, but now I know forsure if there is anything im wondering, I’ll see if Zepla has a vid on it!
Wow this looks so useful!
I'll come back to it some day when I'm not overwhelmed with a lot of things I don't understand yet, since I just started playing this haha
That class change HUD layout is saving my life and I never thought about it. I'm so tired of having a million gearset buttons on my UI. Thank you and the original Reddit poster for this!
Why not just keybind the gear set list? Mine is shift+G (G for gear)
i literally was looking at lots of guides and videos on UI and neat hud tricks.. i didn't even watch this but i know i will be using lots of these tips
(a month of playing at my own pace and loving it, thank you for encouraging me to try this game ^^)
Thank-you, this is just what I was looking for, you answered all my questions in one video! Like others, I have found the HUD to be a bit overwheming with the changes you can make. I've been wanting to find a way to simplify my HUD when in a party and was not sure how to do it.
Not one minute into the video and you solved the problem that nearly drove me to claw my eyes out. I cannot thank you enough. Neither can my eyes.
This is awesome, i love the idea of a different hud layout for the classes and jobs, my screen looks so much cleaner, ty for sharing
I'm grateful for the tips and tricks shared within this video.
they helped to clean up my interface further.
Very helpful. I look forward to trying some of this out when I get the opportunity to start playing. This game seems so vast!
Thank you so much for this video!! My HUD looks so much cleaner now!!
Took me yrs to get a UI I am finally comfy with but you have gave me some amazing new things to try. Really love the job menu thingy. Thank you. Great Info.
how did i not found out about this earlier! Thank you so much Zepla
Recently built a new PC and had this for my old set up. When I logged into ff14 today on my new rig I about had a heart attack lol! So glad I found this. Thank you Zepla and community. It's amazing what you have done for all of us and I really appreciate this.
Yooooo! This is something I NEEEEEED!!! Thank you, Zep! :D
This video helped me so much to improve my HUD, thank you so much, Zepla ^^
Thank you for all of your helpful videos, just started playing and im loving the game, but it can be a little overwhelming and your videos help alot! :)
This helped me SO MUCH! Thank you!
This video was very helpful! I'm glad you showed what all the HUD stuff is! Literally couldn't figure it out until now XD tysm!
MACROS ARE A THING!!! This was amazing! Thank you for showing off your HUD layouts. I'm definitely going to be spending some time organizing my HUD tonight.
I've been needing to see something like this thank you
that class/job macro system is amazing. Thank you for sharing that. I LOVE it :D
This is incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Only 2 minutes in and already learned 2 very important features. Much appreciated!
This actually helps me a lot, the enemy castbar is one thing I was having a hard time keeping track off
OMG, I have been playing for a month and never knew u can customize the UI so much! O_o Thanks for the vid!
Arrrg! I feel like I'm never going to learn all this stuff!!! But...I'm determined to try! A BIG thanx for all your videos!! :)
Thank you for this! 💚🌱✌🏻
Love you ZeplaHQ! This wad perfect timing.
Hey Zepla! Loved the video. I do something similar to what you showed at the end of the video, but to the menu macro I add a wait of about 5 second and then a macro to switch back to my previous hotbar setup! Thought this might be a nice recommendation so you wouldn't have to add an individual macro for every class!
This sounds interesting! How exactly is this done or written with the wait for 5 sec on a macro? Can you show?
@@ardentdfender4116
I can't even begin to express how wildly helpful this video is to a newish player who's just getting into the proverbial meat and potatoes of the game. Mastering the UI placement is almost a third of this games skill wall.
Thanks for this. I've been playing FFXIV since 2014, but I've never spent much time grooming my HUD or playing with macros. You have inspired me to fix that.
Wow there’s so much I did not realize you could do!
I had no idea it was that customizable! I always wondered why the HUD slots were even a thing. Awesome video. Definitely going to use some of this
I've been wanting to rearrange mine into something a bit less clunky. Thank you so much! Lots of good ideas to tweak and use!
Super useful! thank you so much! :3
Thanks a bundle, feel it's improved alot now!
omg thank you so much i have been playing the game on and off for a year but i still don't know how to optimize my hud beyond a basic layout :') this is super helpful!
thanks for this! it was so helpful! :)
Thanks for the super informative video!
Thanks for the awesome ideas :D
Made me want to play with my hud once more and try to make it even better X3
Thank you so much I've been trying to figure this all out on my own to no avail
i was actually planning to create macros to switch gears and change layouts - but was putting it off because i didn't know about the /macroicon command. changing all my job change buttons to macros now. thank you very much! very informative *liked*
I LOVE that faux menu using shared hot bars, macros, and keybinds. It's so pretty and cleaned up so much of my screen (someone with bad vision so things are usually scaled at least 90%). Brilliant idea I didn't know I needed.
DAMN that first thing where you display the target options separately, can't believe I missed that. I was struggling so much with trying to see what the boss was casting that I'd get 1 shotted on stuff in crystal tower. totally overlooked that in the options menu. It's a damn life saver.
The algorithm must love you I watched one ffxiv video and know you and Mr happy are all that come up on my feed
Oh my GOD I had no idea you could split out the target info and status effects! Thank you!!
best ui vid ive seen so far. thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I have been so sick of so many job buttons on my screen this helps so much :) as a new player I appreciate it.
I thought that my macro hide bars UI was pretty cool that I got off a friend. It was simple and easy to do as well. But THIS! omg I think i need this menu setup in my life so much! Thanks for this video
This video is incredibly helpful. I'm a brand new FFXIV player and these QOL changes get me excited to play the game. Thanks!
This is the video I needed!😊
Good stuff, as a new player this is immensely helpful. Like I knew I needed a solution to better be aware what/ when boss is casting. But never thought to simply move it right in my face. Some times smart people miss the mist obvious solutions.
So glad I watched this just getting into ff14 with my wife and trying to make our uis look nice coming from wow. Also the tank aggro part was needed since I'll be tanking. Thanks for the vid keep up the good work
Awesome info, I just came back to ffxiv after about 3 years and also switched from ps4 to pc so needless to say shit is different! Keep it up !!! \m/
I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to easily jump from job to other in an orderly fashion so thans for the video!
Thank you for the amazing video!
Great info on HUD! Thanks.
Thank you very much, this video really helped! 💪🏻
I just started ff14 and I’m overwhelmed with the cluster fck of buttons xd
play dark mage.. you only use like 2 buttons haha
That menu! So simple but so friggin’ brilliant!! Thank you! /bow
Wow thanks for that class switching layout and macro advise, its amazing :o definitely gonna change this later, just need to figure out where to put it on controller UI c:
Thanks for Advanced HUD and UI tips!
The menu idea was really a game changer.
It becomes even more amazing once you realize you can just use the XHB for it (including paging macros so you can just click through all 8-or-however-many-there-were-of-those as needed) and keep those shiny regular hotbars for other things.
This was a lifesaver for sure, I've had macros for every job sitting over on the side of the screen taking up space for a couple years now, though with some further experimenting and combining techniques for swapping Blue Mage hotbars, I managed to make a fully collapsed job menu that's completely hidden until you need it. I had the opening menu macro also copy over two hotbars from Marauder, which have the full list of jobs, and clicking the specific job replaces those two bars with nearly empty ones from Archer. Essentially there's a menu button, the two bars appear and fill themselves while the menu button disappears, you pick a job (which also changes your title,) the menu disappears and the menu button pops back up again. I never would have tried this if you didn't make this video, and I'm very glad to be subscribed to your channel for such quality info.
Why wouldn't you just use two global hotbars and show/hide them as necessary?
@@beefytaquitos It's a bit fancier. It includes stuff like a menu button that hides when opened, and the way the bars switch positions and fill up makes it almost look like the button expands and spreads into the two bars. It's entirely superficial, but the extra bits make it feel like a dedicated function of the game. Plus it was just fun to mess with.
this help me a lot, my UI kinna of a mess, have all class/job lol. ty for amazing video
Great video, the job menu macro is a really good idea, thanks for sharing
it helped me a lot! thanks
Great info. Especially for peeps that know how to properly use HUD. 1st yr i never really messed with it. But once i figured it all out....world of difference
Thanks you so much! My ui is much cleaner now thanks to that hub swap macro!
Thank you for this! Good tips!
I've been waiting for a video like this!! would love a similar video on hotbars/keybindings maybe?
So, I'll be spending time reorganizing my HUD. Thank you
I just want to say as a new player to FF14 and coming from WoW which i very much actively play's with a more custom addon setup this video among the 35+ video's i've watched over the last week is one of the most helpful! As well very useful (Other than the MSQ's one's) video i've come across and watched. Jobing as a Tank in FF14 also this video has been IMMENSELY helpful to learning more about the entire HuD System in a more in-dept way and how it could be changed beyond the obvious as well explaining things for the UI Elements. So helpful. Glad you covered things to know important to Tanks too. At lvl 30 in the game so far after 4 days, i was completely unaware of the changing glow on the Mobs due to aggo build into the UI and how they changed. Invaluable info to have in my central view.
I was having a question about how to remove the numbers from my Hotbars and i found it at 8:15 seeing the UI setting. This solves this for me. The latter half of the video about how to use the various HuD layout for Jobs and switching using the layouts was so interesting as i was just unaware that the HuD could be used that way. So very insightful to the max. While i don't yet have any other Job going than my 1 current Tank Job, it is quite interesting to know how to use and clean up the UI in the future for other jobs when it will be needed as well the Macro's. An Awesome video!!!!!!!!
