10 MUST USE macros for FFXIV to have a better gaming experience!

Up to date 8th April 2023, macro for quest with writing something:

/micon Interject
/s Mol coffee break free kupo nuts dream bigger his whiskers, snae ling Please, Feo Ul, I need you O loveliest of branches, please grant me your succor! Amid the Flowers <wait.1>
/s Tataru Anogg Uhm Ala Lali-ho Sushena Kenn Gyuf coo everything will be fine Itomaki Ismella rekindle the flames of hope With the Wind High as Honor Now Fall <wait.1>
/s I have a favor to ask Pretty Please, Emet-Selch Y'shtola carrot of happiness You misunderstand. I come in peace. Greetings and salutations! Well met! <wait.1>
/s Noughts and Crosses my friend Your god is come Ellie! la-hee inspection GRRR! allin tuta Suzume come hells or high water Egg Hunt tuktu going my way Doubt the truth <wait.1>
/s Guydelot Deftarm! Fray! Beaver Gaia Don't give up! Wake up! Lad Kenn smoked fish from Isari Is anyone around here? Wings Unbending Hail fellow well met! <wait.1>

must use is a massive stretch here

I will say with Macro 9 - this with "Tank stance on" is very good. I am adding "Turn tank stance on in my "Hello" emote" you put here good idea.

For my Aetherial Manipulation, I use a priority system
First is my target
Second is focus target
Third is the fourth party member.
In 8-man content, usually you don't want to zip to where the tank is, so I go where the healer goes.
It does have some issues though. If I'm not close enough to my first priority, it'll just try again with the next, and that can cause some unexpected outcomes.

The /bm /groundsit doesn't work for me ;-;

Is there a way to set up a macro that will auto trigger under certain conditions? Without you having to press the macro button

I am black mage main too.. and that Aetherial Manip you made, is a godsend to me. Trying to click on someone last minute and THEN click the icon takes WAY TO LONG, this is faster. Also, I find healers are usually in the best spot too.

Can there be a marco to SNAP and then make your weapon glow? that would be awesome.

Ya know, these macros are great and all...
But what macro can someone use to make people avoid them like the plague?
Something that screams, "Stay away!"
Ideas?

ok I may have to add summon to my sch/smn macros lol
and that hi in dungeons macro is FIRE

Thx for this vid. I took macro 5 and altered it slightly to use in 24 man raids. I set tank as focus and then auto follow so I'm always with my group. Before it was a pain because every time you phase/teleport it cancels focus. This meant you would have to click on tank>R click on tank HP>then set as focus. This became tedious while trying to stay mobile

Are the macros posted in a drive or pastebin somewhere? Would be really helpful to be able to copy and paste.

I saw a macro the other day that looked very useful. It will either mount up, sprint, or use peleoton depending where your at or what job your on/what you can use where your at.

Thanks a Million!

that snap emote is the most ungodly annoying thing that ever got populated. i hate that.

My follow macro for hunt trains is as follows

/ac "Mount Roulette" <wait.1.5>
/gaction jump
/targetpc
/follow

Full lazy mode xD set to L3

Definitely going to use the one for the Tribal quests - I'm working my through all of them. I'm on controller and it is such a pain to have to readjust to type out a stupid phrase 🤣

Is there a way to set up the first macro but hide the emote text

i was today years old when I learned you could make macros in ff14... yes, I'm very new so this isn't super sad, but i really appreciate this video!

Macro 8, I copied it from the chat window in the video, and added "Your god is come" for the Arkasodara tribe. Not sure if I got it all, but that's what was in the chat window. Video said they would include the text but I don't see it, so here is what I typed out:

lali-ho, High as Honor, Wings Unbending Uhm Ala. free kupo nuts Now Fall With the Wind. Beaver shouts la-hee Amid the Flowers, his whiskers are snae ling. Itomaki. cofee break Your god is come

I think I'm missing something. If your tank stance is already on, and you use your "Hi" macro, it will actually switch it off?

Hi me again, check this macro for Reaper one button jump forward/backward:
/merror off
/macroerror off
/action "Hell's Ingress"
/action [off]
/action "Hell's Egress"
/action [on]
/micon "Hell's Ingress"

Tribal Quest macro (Number 8)

/s lali-ho, High as Honor, Wings Unbending Uhm Ala. free kupo nuts Now Fall With the Wind. Beaver shouts la-hee Amid the Flowers, his whiskers are snae ling. Itomaki. coffee break

May I know what glamor youre using for the viera white pants set?

You are blowing my mind with the tank stance macro. Gonna have to try that one!

Macro 8: /s lali-ho, High as Honor, Wings Unbending Uhm Ala. free kupo nuts Now Fall With the Wind. Beaver shouts la-hee Amid the Flowers, his whiskers are snae ling. Itomaki. coffee break

shiny weapon doesn't work on mounts idk what people are talking about

Love Macro 1, I've gotten a little creative with it and use it for all of my jobs. Also I would have never used Macro 5 if I didn't see this vid first. I am so happy that I came across this vid and will definitely start using it.

Some of these I knew, some of these I thought sbout making , and some of these are new and necessary, especially the BLM one

You should mod your FFXIV

For island sanctuary, I use a class (not job), so something I've already got past 30, say, Archer instead of bard. I have a whole gear set and hotbar list, glamour, etc for Archer, so I have a clean set up. I also do this for a class I want to RP with or just have a bunch of emotes on my hotbar instead of abilities.

Thanks! I’m not even lvl 60 yet but most of these look great. please sir, can we have some more?

That /bm macro dont work for me :/

I use mouse over for aetherial manipulation. Basically i can over the mouse in a player in game or have it hovered above a certain player in the party chat and i'll dash to them without targeting. Macros are ultimately unreliable in combat, but this skill is one of those where it's super bothersome to target someone, measuring if it's safe or not then actually pressing the skill.

I am ashamed to be a BLM main. I wish i would have known about Macro 10 a year ago, would have probably saved me from soooo many unnecessary death in dungeons

could you do a list of unique or unknown Micons? I always see a bunch on videos but never see what to type to achieve it

cuz it was too hard for uploader to ctrl+c > ctrl+v , here is the tribal macro.

/s lali-ho, High as Honor, Wings Unbending Uhm Ala. free kupo nuts Now Fall With the Wind. Beaver shouts la-hee Amid the Flowers, his whiskers are snae ling. Itomaki. coffe break

For macro number one, i added this command to change button into your soul stone for better aesthetic:

/micon "Soul of the Xxxxx" item

Xxxxx = your job
Example:

/micon "Soul of the Dark Knight" item

I had similar to the SCH/SMN ones, but i like yours better minus the /emote so. much thanks <3

One of my favourite macros is my 'lazy rez'. it's a targetless rez that hits a priority list, beginning with the other healer, then the tanks, then the dps in descending order. So if someone dies i can swiftcast, then rez without having to scroll the party window.

Everyone going to ignore the warrior class change Macro is called Paladin?

/bm
/groundsit
/automove
/automove

This lets you have the glowy weapon and then automatically stands you up
The only probable issue is that you must face the camera in the same direction you want your character to face or you'll turn yourself around

Great video some useful macros, but no copy/paste for the macros kinda kills the whole experience and just leaves the viewer frustrated in the end. Not the vibe you are looking for i'm sure

If you struggle with lag spikes, some battle effects macros can save you from crashing.
/battle effects party off
/battle effects self off
/battle effects others off
/pet size small ( effects how you see scholar/ summoner pet)
/nameplatedisp other 3 ( turns off PC names)

You would also need a macro for your normal settings^ great for big hunts and Alliance Raids.

Oh, a useful macro for ninji might be
/ac Shukuchi <t>
/ac Shukuchi

That way you go right to target if you have one or right to targeting mode if you don't. You could also use <f> to go to focus target.

Thank you for making such great videos. You have helped me through several issue in FFXIV! Looking around I didn't see the mentioned "Tribal" macro anywhere. Did I overlook it?

I set up two hotbars to be un shared (mine are 8 and 7 cause 10 and 9 are for something else) and put my Single target rotation abilities on one bar, and my AoE on the other, leaving space in the 9th slot on each for two macro, the first macro swaps hotbar 1 for 7 and goes on 8, the other swaps hotbar 1 for 8 and goes on 7. That way I can hit one button to switch from "AoE mode" to "Single Target Mode" The macro look something like this:

/Macroicon [first Attack of single target combo]
/hotbar copy "current" 7 "current" 1

/Macroicon [first Attack of AoE target combo]
/hotbar copy "current" 8 "current" 1

Then I set those hotbars size to like, 60 so they take up nothing for screen space. and make them slightly transparent(I don't wanna hide them encase I ever have to edit them on the fly, like if they remove an ability or something.)
Now I never fumble my rotation by hitting like, an AoE skill when I need a single target, or vice versa, it's also frees up bar 2 for buttons I need regardless of AoE or single, like raid buffs and tank invulns.

Oh, and not a macro, but under actions>general their is a button you can put on your hotbar for duty actions like the one you need in lakshmi. And I believe system>keybinds>system has an option to bind level sync to a button called "general duty action" or something, but I don't know if that works on controler or not.

I would love to use macros but idk if it's server lag or what but they just don't work Half the time. Especially annoying when it was a tank invuln macro like for living dead to announce i was using it only for the invuln to never actually activate lol

the job change one in the /gs line if you add the glam you like for that job after the gearset number you can also further customize the look of each job no matter that they all use the same gear (ie /gs 3 12 3 being the job you're changing to 12 being the appearance you want it to have)

Macro 10 is a lifesaver, but I use

/merror off
/macrolock
/micon "Aetherial Manipulation"
/target <f>
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation"
/nexttarget

Targets the Focus Target I set at the start of the fight (usually a healer), poofs to them, and retargets the thing I was fighting. Only really use it in Savage tho
