For that dreadful moment when you do have to open your armory I made a macro that sorts every single armory tab by descending item level, that way all the gear will be organized according to their ilvl which makes picking out lower level gear you might no longer have need for a lot easier, as every single time you swap gearsets some of the stuff gets shuffled around a bit. The macro is basically like a defragmentation button for your armory. /isort condition armoury ilv des /isort execute armoury

Hi, where do I change this setting? I cannot find it

Here's one I use that I'm not sure if many other people do: When I was first learning some jobs, it annoyed me how mousing over a spell/ability on my hotbar would bring up that tooltip which covered other actions on my hotbar, so I found a way that you can make the "action help" hover boxes slightly transparent. Personally I think this is a major improvement. 1. System -> Character Config -> UI settings -> General Tab -> Help -> Change "Display action help" from "Next to cursor" to "Fixed" (Or disable it entirely if you want), apply the changes 2. Go to System -> HUD layout, click on the Action Help box. Next to where it says "Current UI element / Action Help" click UI element settings which is the little cog next to it. 3. You can change transparency settings & Size, personally I have it at 12% transparency with 100% size. 4. save changes here, and go back into character config and change action help display back to "next to cursor". Now, you'll have slightly transparent tooltips that follow your cursor so you can still fully see your hotbars when you're reading the text :)

One tip that I did for myself quite some time ago and often think that new people would benefit from, when running alliance content, is to change your own party's name color to be something different than the other alliances' colors, so that if there's a "get with your group" mechanic, you'll have an easier time identifying your own party members to get with. For example, my own party names display blue, but other alliances display green, in my settings. So I know whenever there's an add phase in an alliance boss fight and each alliance is supposed to take a separate one, I'm with my blue folks. You can do this under Character Configuration > Display Name Settings > Others, then just change the "Party Members" to whatever color you want, that is different from the others.

When you are turning in a bunch of gear at the GC instead clicking each item and then clicking accept, mash zero on your number pad. It is effectively a controller's "accept" button so it'll automatically move the cursor to the item then the deliver button and hand everything in a a fraction of the time.

You can take this a bit further by going Keybind > System and binding Move Cursor/Target Cursor Left to Alt+NUM0.

As a beginning FF14 player, i want to thank you for sharing these tips. There are so many elements to the UI - it can quickly become overwhelming. This helped me tremendously!

With the amount of zones ever increasing, I right click ones I visit often in the teleport menu and select 'Save to History' which will pin them to the top of the history page making a custom port list so I don't have to look around for the correct locations. Common use is when I am on a mining run for high end mats on timers.

Been playing for 8+ years and I didn’t know half of this; never bothered to look, yet found myself repeatedly saying “this is exactly what I wanted!” THANK YOU for making this video hahah!

For targeting I personally took some advice to change my tab key to "target nearest enemy" then set up some hotkey combinations like ctrl+tab to cycle targets. It works for me but maybe not for everyone, cone still targets really strangely imo. Great advice though, I learned most of this over thousands of hours so it's great to see it condensed into one video!

I found I was running through the world and my eyes were basically deleting the character models in my field of view and focusing solely on names and health bars. The clutter was real. After I turned them off, running from point A to point B was so much more immersive. Enemies look more like they are living in their environment, rather than just being random names I fly by. Sometimes I don't even realize there's a mob or group hidden in the grass, which forces me to keep an eye out for them, further increasing my immersion and awareness. Before my mind was basically glossing over the enemy models because all that mattered was names and health bars, now that I am forced to look at just the enemy,I notice so much more detail.

Omg, I did not know there was a setting that would not add new items to your armory. I wanted something like that for the longest time lol. A lot of great info here. Thanks!

I found that changing colours on my friends made them easier to find, too. Made them bright magenta, just so the name stands out.

You can also type motion after the emote to not leave a log message i.e. /wave motion

2:45 Yep, super useful. You know what else I do to accommodate for this issue is I put my hotbars and cross hotbar on the right side of the screen to make sure my character and where I am standing is clearly visible and not obscure it with hotbars. That way, I can keep my camera angle pointed high for most of the time. Also, I use one of the paddles on my Xbox Elite 2 controller to map that paddle + LB and RB for adjusting the verticle camera angle on the fly without needing to reach for my keyboard.

Just about anything you have to search through the menus for, like the chocobo saddlebag, or the weekly timers, they can be dragged onto the hotbar so you can just press a button instead of going through a menu each time.

The instantly cast ground-targeted abilities tip is such a game-changer. Thank you for posting this video.

This is awesome, it's incredibly informative and worth watching a few times over so I can do the same in my game! Awesome work, dude!

Similar to the level sync macro, I also have 2 other macros to toggle my HUD. I have one that toggles my current quest list, and one that toggles the msq quest display. Very nice being able to take these things on and off screen at will, if you are someone who for some reason doesn't like having a mini-map you could toggle that as well with a button. Additionally you can have your gear sets placed into your hotbars for easy fast switching without having to navigate any menus

​@@PicoriElder Well, I've tried this a few different ways, and here are my results: 1) if you drag a gear set onto a hot bar, updating it doesn't help the icon work; it's going to put the same old stuff back in, if it can find it. And b) if you update a gear set, you have to make another icon for it; the old will not work. And finally c) if you delete an old great set after creating a new one, the current icon for the old set will not work. As a matter of fact, deleting an old gear set deletes the icon on the hotbar as well.

I find that having a minimap makes it so I rely on it for travel, and I don't really experience the beauty of the game world because I'm so busy looking at the map. I've turned the transparency very high, so I'm forced to learn where north is by sight and memory (having the compass turn on the minimap helps), and to learn landmarks to get me around. Also forces me to explore a little, take some wrong turns, see stuff I might not have otherwise.

It's a small thing, but I always recommended to new players to reorder their emotes to an alphabetical list. Also put the lookout emote in your favored emotes for sightseeing.

just 1 issue I found about legacy movement is when facing boss trial in Bardram mettle where you should avoid aoe & gaze one after another, I 70% failed that because my character can't walk backward without facing the boss lol

@Iriel907

2 жыл бұрын

I feel your pain, but don't give up on practicing it. It gets better and you figure out little tricks to handle the controls. I got used to simply slapping S for the tiniest second while facing away from a gaze attack, or facing towards it and hitting both mouse buttons briefly for that quick turn around. Conversely, if you play with the other control type that lets you turn with your camera, you can slightly wiggle your mouse while holding Rmb to keep facing the way you want to despite the game turning you around for a moment to face your target as you use any abilities. Very useful for something like the teleports in Eden 7.

You can turn off facing the enemy ur targeting when u hit an ability, you don't need to turn on legacy for that specifically and even with the standard movement you can just hold right click to strafe with A and D Edit: I feel like i should add to turn off auto-facing a target go to Character Config > Control Settings > Target > Turn off "Automatically face target when using action"

I've never ran into this issue with standard. I hold down my right mouse button hold W, and use tomahawk, shield lob, unmend without any "mouse acrobatics." Personal preference I guess, but it just feels a bit redundant of a setting when u can live both ways in standard with relative ease. There's probably a reason they added standard instead of keeping it the 1.0 way.

Standard Type Movement was introduced specifically for Mouse+Keyboard based on the system from World of Warcraft because I guess at the time YoshiP and his team had grown accustomed to that style and knew that MMO players at the time were accustomed to this form of movement while 1.0 used the same system as FFXI which is the legacy system which is based on controller/console controls, basically flight stick controls. It was added to try to make ARR more accommodating to people who came to the game from pre-existing western MMOs. However, right after Heavensward released the developers shifted their focus; They abandoned the WoW-Clone approach to the game and instead shifted it in a direction based entirely on the feedback and desires of FFXIV's community. Basing ARR on WoW saved FFXIV, I won't deny that and both WoW and Blizzard deserve their credit for inspiring YoshiP and his team with the direction they took to save the game; But after that point, they went their own path and FFXIV is far from the WoW clone it begun it's life as to the point where end game boss fights are so far removed from that of the WoW like boss fights of ARR and Heavensward 3.0 base content (the 5 starting dungeons and 3 trials that came at launch), especially so since Stormblood that the combat is so intense at end game that Standard controls hamper players from being able to maximise their own potential at damage output while dodging mechanics. Good luck trying to melee Savage and Ultimate with Standard controls, I don't even think it's possible anymore. Also here's a tip: In WoW you can change the game's movement settings to that of the same as FFXIV's legacy settings but it has to be done manually though hotkey reassignment... which is annoying. Also the double click to cast template abilities immediately on target is a quality of life feature added shortly before Endwalker released. Before then we had to set up Macros. A lot of these features have been added over the years at the request of the fanbase in Japan but a lot of English players are not even aware they even exist because they get brushed over in patch notes and the developers only really discuss them on the live letter in casual conversation and never had them up on the presentation and since before Endwalker the liveletters were exclusively in Japanese and only the presentations got translated, few people knew about it.

Great video! The window scale trick is something I've always wanted to be able to do!

This and your keyboard layout video have just saved me so much pain in this game thank you so much

another way to make targeting even better is to change the actual keybind for tab to "target closest enemy". that way you can just spam tab to always target whatever is closest, if I want a specific target I just use my mouse

as a ninja main who gets trolled by shukuchi every day of my life, THANK YOU for the limit ring movement. GAME CHANGER.

Just one thing. You’re using a keyboard and mouse meaning you don’t use the Cross Hotbar. Any settings related to the Cross Hotbar will have no relavance to you and would be a placebo effect at most.
