Thanks for the idea! I have a slightly more optimized macro based on this: /hotbar display 10 /hotbar display 9 off /hotbar display 8 off /wait 5 /hotbar display 10 off This makes it so that only one class hotbar is displayed at a time. The last line is also better as it ensures that the hotbar will hide and not toggle after 5 seconds.
storing the setup in a basic job and get them be copied to a shared hot bar would be more space efficient, one bar for the macro(s) and one bar for the past target or have a circulating one ... like /hotbar copy MRD 1 share 10
hello, i actually tried this it did work for some parts but the hiding using /wait 5 and hotbar display num off seems to have a conflict with the job change macro that has a emote assign to it such /snap. so mainly it hides the jobs listed if no activity detected within 5 secs instead hide after switch has been executed
Alternatively, if you guys want, you could do is /hotbar copy "class plus hot bar number" share x where X is the number for your hotbar. For me its /hotbar copy MCH 5 share 4 and /hotbar copy MCH 6 share 4 which act as a scrolling menu to change when you click the macro. Just be sure that under character config>hot bar settings> sharing you have the hotbar marked as to what you want to be shared.
Thats pretty clever. I currently use a ton of hotbars and had to use the cross hotbars as extra room but i might have to think about reorganizing for something like this
Use a command like this. /hotbar copy LTW 10 current 9 /hotbar display 9 LTW can just be whichever job (Or crafter/gather) you want. And then you'll copy LTW 10 hotbar to your 9th bar on current class. so hotbar 10 on LTW could be your dps macro UI. /hotbar copy LTW 8 current 9 /hotbar display 9 and now you can make one with hotbar 8 and now whenever you press that macro, it will turn your hotbar 9 into whatever you got in LTW hotbar 8. FYI, put all your macros that do this into a shared hotbar, and then use another hotbar to 'replace' whatever the macro is designed to show. You got 10 classes (such as conjurer and stuff like that you won't ever be using after you get white mage) so there you've like 10*10 hotbars. You also got all your crafters & gatherers who won't be using all of theirs. So effectively you've about 160+ hotbars you can play with at the cost of 2.
There's a far better way to do this. Let's say you put this entire dps setup on your LTW, cuz you won't use all 10 hotbars. Now you've the set up on LTW now make the following macro /hotbar copy LTW 10 current 9 /hotbar display 9 . This will now copy the setup you've on hotbar 10 on LTW and transfer it to your current hotbar 9 (Which could be let's say BRD.) Now you're technically able to see the hotbar you're using on LTW but while in BRD. So you don't need to use 4hotbars like you're using.
@@rapidfire223 Video is still processing as of this comment, but I just uploaded my own explanation of it. Took me a bit of fiddling around with all the info I had found, but eventually I worked it out. czcams.com/video/pUmEk2H-DA0/video.html
@@ram89572 thanks! saw the vid. it was well explained. It wouldnt work for me as i already use all 10 bars 1-4 for the class and 5-10 shared among all classes .
how do you make so you don't have to reorganize all your abilities each time you switch jobs? I have to spend 5+ minutes each time I switch jobs just moving my abilities to where I want them
go to the hotbar settings and turn on/off shared hotbars. my first 5 hotbars are the ones that have job related actions on them, so those aren't shared. the others i use for the menus/items and such that i want easy access on on all jobs, so those are shared.
So I copied this and it works, but when I switch to something like Carpenter or whatever other jobs, I try to click again and it doesn't work anymore. Only works on my RDM. Is there a reason for this?
you can click the icon next to where you would name the macro and select a new one. or you could use the: /micon "name of skill here" macro, just type in the name of any action and the icon will change to that
sure, if you want you can also jump into my discord, there's usually people around to help out with questions you might have (link is in the description)

This is like... the easiest explanation I’ve seen. Thank you

I knew how to do everything EXCEPT where to find the dang gon class to drag into the hotbar LOL Makes me much happier thank you so much!
Much more simple and precise on what needs to be done, compared to other videos.
Thanks !
Finally, one that gets straight to the point and is really easy to follow. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this guide. I am very new to the game an this made my life alot easier playing different jobs
Holy crap, been playing since HW days and I never thought of doing this before. Thank you so much, you made my day!
Thank you everyone else’s guides are so complicated this made it so easy
Thanks a bunch for this video!
My layout was so cluttered before but I now have a sleek new design. Even did one for my most used emotes.
This cleared up so much space, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this. Now my screen doesn't feel so cluttered.
You can also make macros for changing jobs that after changing will hide the hotbar, but this will take a lot of macro slots
Use a command like this.
/hotbar copy LTW 10 current 9
/hotbar display 9
LTW can just be whichever job (Or crafter/gather) you want. And then you'll copy LTW 10 hotbar to your 9th bar on current class. so hotbar 10 on LTW could be your dps macro UI.
/hotbar copy LTW 8 current 9
/hotbar display 9 and now you can make one with hotbar 8 and now whenever you press that macro, it will turn your hotbar 9 into whatever you got in LTW hotbar 8.
FYI, put all your macros that do this into a shared hotbar, and then use another hotbar to 'replace' whatever the macro is designed to show.

Awesome QOL hack. Thank you so much!
I am new to the world of Final Fantasy 14, so for me this video was incredibly useful. Thank you for the video.

That's frying my brain a bit. Is there a video or screenshots to accompany your explanation so I can see what you're driving at?
Cant understand ur explanation

@@rapidfire223 ah. Well sorry it won't work for you, but glad the explanation itself was good for you.
Could you do a full UI setup video at some point to show what you have on the left hand side of the screen?
I probably won't, but I did a livestream a little while ago where i setup my new hud: czcams.com/users/liveaVcxxZt5VbY?feature=share

Did this break during DT? Been trying to add my Viper gearset and it wont save on the hot bars?
Still works for me.
For some reason my macro isn't saving to my hotbar and I have no idea why, I was hoping you might have an answer to this?
I'm not sure what might be causing the problem.
@@IlyaDalamiq Dang >.< I'm just trying to save Viper and Picto to my bar..
Very helpful thank you
It's only been 2 & a half years but I finally did this, are you proud of me :D
Perhaps :3
I used Zepla's vid as a guide
So I copied this and it works, but when I switch to something like Carpenter or whatever other jobs, I try to click again and it doesn't work anymore. Only works on my RDM. Is there a reason for this?
does the macro itself not work anymore? or does the hotbar change
Legend! Tyvm :)
Where did you get the macro icon from?
you can click the icon next to where you would name the macro and select a new one.
or you could use the: /micon "name of skill here"
macro, just type in the name of any action and the icon will change to that

I simple use the system in your character armor sets lol.
Is there a way to do something remotely similar on console 😭🙈
Not sure about that :
How to do on Ps4 is the real question tho :eyes:
The hud system on ps is so clunky I don't even wanna begin to think about doing this ;_;
The virtual mouse that you can enable with L1 and R3 helps massively
