The “master bars” are saved on the unused hotbars of classes I don’t play (which means the hotbars for the pre-job classes) and then copied over each time I click the button to change the bar.
For each of the bars, I can rotate between two or three different setups for the bar, by making use of a macro that copies over the bar each time with a different set of commands. I also have a hotbar just for crafting and gathering - obviously I only want that bar visible when I plan to craft or gather. For example, I have a hotbar for emotes that I generally don’t want displaying during combat, so I can turn it off in a dungeon and then toggle it back on if I’m just running around and want to emote at people. I use a toggle macro to turn hotbars on and off when I need them. WARNING: You are going to be copying over your hotbars a LOT when you do this! Before you start experimenting make sure you have saved your old hotbar files so you can recover them if you really mess up, or at least screenshot your current layout so you can manually recreate it.įor my setup I use two techniques, one extremely simple and the other a little more complicated: My setup is very basic, but there are much fancier ones possible if you really start getting into it: look for videos on Youtube talking about “extended hotbars” or “rotating hotbars” if you want to see some of the more impressive things you can do using macros to customize your UI.
With macros in FFXIV it’s possible to greatly customize your hotbars in a number of ways.

I’ve had some inquiries from the FC lately about how to set up “adaptive hotbars” using macros.
