Another tip, You can hold SHIFT when dragging elements in the UI bar to make them stick to the grid.

The petsize thing should be clarified to be if you play WITH a summoner as well, since the change is client-side, and affects ALL summoner pets, not just your own.

2 small tips I would like to add: Hold the ctrl key when looking at your map and the aetherytes will always display over sidequest markers. Helps when you have lots of sidequest exclamation points everywhere stopping you from clicking the aetheryte to teleport. If you do a roulette and meet a nice person you'd like to make a friend or someone who sucks you'd like to blacklist, click Social > Contacts to see the names of the people you were just grouped with. You can right-click their name to take actions on them :)

9:30 No, you cannot solo and use "limited leveling roulette" as an option. If you're lvl 80, you can still get a lvl 40 dungeon through leveling. Limited leveling roulette will only apply if you have a full pre-made party of four.

I use the Materia Extraction (I think that's the name) button rather than a macro, it brings up a UI window and makes materia extraction easy. Tons of great tips! Big boss castbar is a game changer.

A few other tips: 1. For those on controller using the cross hotbar, there are a couple settings under Character Config > Hotbar that make a big difference. First is changing Cross Hotbar Controls under the "Cross" tab from Hold (default) to Mixed. This allows you to either hold down the shoulder button OR toggle it with a button press to activate the cross hotbar. Save your index finger some strain during battles! 2. Also for the cross hotbar, under the "Custom" tab, enable Expanded Controls. These allow you to quick access up to two extra cross hotbars by holding down both shoulder buttons, or double-tapping a shoulder button. Absolutely essential as button bloat increases at later levels. 3. The Hunt Billmaster of each GC sells Aetheryte Tickets for 5 Allied Seals each that can be used instead of gil to teleport. By default, though, it brings up a confirmation prompt asking if you would like to use a ticket each time you teleport. You can click the little gear button in the top-right of the Teleport menu, and it will let you adjust that setting to automatically use the ticket instead of asking. You can even set a gil threshold and tell it to only use tickets for teleports that cost more than that amount! Super convenient.

Forgot to mention that limited leveling roulette is only available in a party, so actually no queue time increase either!

Ok I learned something I didn't know. Thank you for the target dummy tip. I was one of those that ran away cause I never thought to check for that reset option.

Just wanted to add that the /petsize command changes the size of all the egis you see, not how people see yours. This also works when you're not a summoner but you'd like other summoner's egis to be smaller.

There is actually a teleport ticket item that you get in ARR, and i think HW too called "Vesper Bay Aetheryte Ticket" that teleports u directly to the waking sands as well, eventho you only get around 28 of those, its plenty for what you need through the whole MSQ. Great video nevertheless, had no idea about the boss cast bar.

Here's a nice trick you can use if you have Aetheryte tickets: when you open the teleport menu, click the gear at the top right. You can turn off the confirmation or even set a maximum gil amount before it just uses a ticket.

A small addition to the weapon glow: The glow can only be seen by people who were with you in the same zone when you pressed that macro. Those who come later, or leave and re-enter will only see the usual weapon.

Good to note changing pet size applies to ALL summons, so its worth wild using it as a non Summoner so the summoners pets are smaller.

I recommend everyone to make the boss cast bar huge and put RIGHT above their hotbar. It makes it so much easier.

Oh my god for real. Getting to the Waking Sands for ANY character was such a nightmare at times, especially if you were leveling a low level. I've been playing the game SINCE launch and didn't know this!🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Jolsn!!😃

Thank you for this. You answered someone of the questions that I really can't find answers to and this helped a ton.

You just blew my mind with the waking sands shortcut. Thanks! Great and helpful video.

In defense of people running away from dummies...it took SE 7 years to put in that option.

Immensely helpful videos. I'm shocked I never noticed the "Play music when mounted" setting before, but it's made travelling so much more immersive and serene, thanks.

Really great quality video, man. I also like that you include some of the tips in the comments as well! Very insightful.

You don't need that spiritbonding macro. There's a command called "Materia Extraction" in Action & Traits --> General that does an even better job than your macro.

For the Materia-Tip: You can find extractable Materia and their percentage of spiritbond even easier than with that macro! Use the hotkey "Materia Extraction" in your Actions & Traits under General. Just click the button and swiftly extract everything from everywhere. :D

Your videos are actually so helpful! My friends taught me some of the things you talk about but nowhere near all of it

With the new aethernet UI, you dont have to click on the name, then the map. You can click the name, then when the map centers on it, you can click the name again. I find it much more convenient to just essentially double click the name, even though you cant double click very fast and have to wait that little re-centering on the map.

oooh I like the waymark for gathering. A tip I really liked when I started playing is when your moving the elements in your hud layout around, you can use the numpad 8462 to nudge the elements for when you absolutely must have that pixel perfect UI, it def made things much easier than mouse alone ^^

Extra tip for GC turn in, they appear under your Timers (CTRL-U), so you don't need to go back to the GC every time to see what you need to gather. Another tip I like is when doing the daily Hunt Bills. Use the Recommendation window, there's a submenu for "The Hunt", which will list the targets you have in the current zone. All you have to do is teleport to each of the 6 zones for that expansion, no need to shuffle through your stacks for what monster you forgot to kill.

Thanks for finally pointing out the shortcut to Vesper bay. I've been telling that one to people for years, but so many still don't know.. you should do a vid on shortcuts in general, as there are many that people should know to save gil or get to a map faster (like for hunts)

Keybind > System > Confirm. You can do just about anything you need that involves an NPC or an item by spamming that. Don't have an enemy targeted or you'll try to attack. You may need to use Keybind > Targeting > Target Nearest NPC or Object sometimes but Confirm is a wonder. A few examples: (1) Running through the trash mobs at the start of Prae and having trouble targeting the elevator/teleport buttons fast enough? Confirm > Confirm > Confirm (target the teleport, open the confirm window, choose confirm). (2) Have items to turn in for a quest? Spam Confirm. It will first clear all of your conversation windows quickly, then click the NPC to open that "drop off" window, then open your items inventory, then move the items to the drop off, then confirm the choice. You may need to navigate through your item inventory and maybe there is an easier way to do this, but on KBM I use NUM4 and NUM6 to cycle back and forward through the inventory. If you are a crafter turning in a number of collectables, this works like a charm.

You can also set your crafter glams to be different looks if you right click them in the character window where you save your gear sets. So your goldsmith can wear a different look as your carpenter even though they are wearing the same exact gear.

Omg I didn't know that about the striking dummy, you've just changed my whole experience haha thanks for the video!

For the party list - if you just want the default (based on your settings), you can also just type /psort in your chat and it'll do the trick. Great videos, Jolsn - thanks!

5:20 I feel attacked.. Didn't know there was another way to get out of combat there besides running for the hills lmao

For the first macro, there's actually a built in menu for materia extraction that orders the list by spiritbond percentage like this by default. It's also easier to navigate and see rather than doing it via the armory chest.

Ahhhhh the waymarker gathering thing.. never thought of that! Useful stuff here!

In the general tab of the actions menu (P by default) there's also a Materia Extraction button that you can drag onto a hotbar! It pops up a separate window and lets you quickly exctract from your equipped gear, and there's a dropdown for different parts of the armoury chest as well!

Grand Company Delivery Missions/Turn-ins can also be checked in the Timers menu. So you can check them near the Market board (or wherever you get your items from) and don't have to run back and forth to your Grand Company. Same with the Custom Deliveries, so you can check upfront, which NPC gives bonus scrips/exp.

Ok, the waymarks on the gathering nodes is super slick, never even crossed my mind!

TIPS I discovered since Endwalker: - Press and hold X to make all names disappear (lifesaver for when 20 people are on top of retainer summon bell, or quest marker) - Right click Aytherite to change instance (helpful when no fates left, change instance for more fates. Also party members appear as ??? they are in a different instance probably) - Open Character window with C then > Profile > Title > icon > to set your Title!

Another good trick for turn ins at the Grand Company : if you can do Expert Deliveries (which is turning in old gear for Grand Company seals), transfer all the gear you no longer need from your Armory Chest to your Inventory. Then, in the Expert Delivery window, select "Inventory" from the drop down menu. It'll also remember that setting so you don't have to do it every time. And if you have a lot of items to turn in, a quick way to turn them in quickly is to simply tap the numpad's 0 key (which functions as the "Confirm" button equivalent on a controller) and you'll turn in and confirm each piece of gear very quickly. You can go through 30 pieces of gear to turn in that way in less than 10 seconds.

its crazy how apparently little i know about this game when it comes to these qol things or convenience tricks thank u so much

I didn't level SMN to 90 to have mini summons! In all seriousness I've played on and off since 2.0 and still found interesting things I either didn't know or had forgot! Great videos.

BRO /bm /sit wep glow is the best thing ever!!! legend. thanks! subbed.

FF allows you to customize everything in such great detail. however, you have to put in the work to set it up once and really dive deep into the options to get the most out of it. i'm really thankfull for the leveling roulette and dummy reset tips - i always ran away from the dummy to reset it. x)

as a sprout thats been playing for about 2.5 months now. some of these tips are super helpful, abd there are stuff that i found out on my own. excited to try out the ones i learned here

Thank you for sharing as a relatively newcomer to FF these are a godsend

Supply and Provisioning items for crafters are great if you throw in the gil for the materials for them instead. You can then proceed to craft them and maybe even make them at high quality which is some great exp honestly plus it trains you on how crafting works so you're not fully confused once you're max level and you just blindly use macros without knowing how they work.

duuuuude the item turn-in thing is SO USEFUL :D i know is like 3 seconds saved but is really quality of life improvement!

Waking Sands travel blew my mind. Thank you for this!!!

The test dummy and waking sands moments about killed me...Lots of great information again, thank you!

Okay, okay, I liked your last video, watched this instantly and subbed right after the first minute. Good job

Owaaah ty sooo much for the limited roulette lvling !!! I never paying attention to this,it's the end of sastasha/aurum val suffering! D: (and for the grand compagny supply and provision , you can go through the Timers window in the Main Menu and you'll see all items needed without going actually at the GC quarter in the 1st place ^^ )

The tip at 4:01 can be done with controllers as well by pressing square. It was a game changer when I discovered this a few months ago. No longer scrolling through inventory!

I took off everyone's special effects, except boss and some minimal effect for my own. It improved my FF14 life immensely.

One thing I do is make whatever aetheryte I have to go to (to do quests, this, or that) a favorite destination. Inevitably, I have found myself over and over having to return to that location while in that area and paying at least twice to do so than if I had made it a favorite. Another tip: in Keybinds > Movement, set a hotkey to the "Save current camera position," Return camera to saved position," and "Return camera to default." I use this when I'm out in the open; I simply press the hotkey for putting the camera to my saved position, which is far away and at a specific angle so I can see a lot around me.

You make excellent videos. We will watch your career with great interest.

The best use of the "Turn off Battle music" option so you only hear zone music: Running The Twinning

4:26 you can also customize which currencies cycle in the "other" tab if I recall.

In keybinds/system there is key bind for confirm. If you spam that you can quickly answer yes to prompts and it will handover q items even faster because you dont need to move your mouse to the items. It also targets actionable objects like npcs that are under a big mount.

The reset striking dummy thing was a godsend when they added it. Also, almost all of the things you access via right click can be accessed on controller by square (including the quick handover method for quest turn-ins).

I play on PS4 and use the cross-hotbar for the things I need on every job. One side is for running, calling my mount, teleporting and things like materia extraction... the other one is mostly healing with potions, gestures and useful things like a shortcut to the timer function to see what i can turn in at the grand company with my crafter jobs. What also helped me a lot with crafter jobs was marking some of the base materials from every crafter job as favorites so i can find them faster.

Join party in progress is amazing. Joined prae once, party was already killing the last boss... so in and out of prae in 10 seconds with full xp gains.

I have been playing for a few years and had NO IDEA about the currency button. Seriously! You are an FFXIV power user... lol. Thanks for this.

For the Spirit Bound sort macro, it might be easier to use the Extract Materia action that is in the General section of the skills menu.

10:52 the reason why you can go to Waking Sands faster through Limsa Lominsa because back in 1.0, there's a different mechanic in travelling using ship/airship than it is now. Back then, there would be a scheduled travel for all of the ship and airship and the travel itself is not instant, instead you're going to wait in the ship to actually travel between places in which you can do fishing there (except airship, it's a cutscene). And yes, one of the most popular ship travel route is from Limsa Lominsa directly Waking Sands, where back in 1.0 there was so many activity around that place. EDIT: If you want to know more about how closely connected present FFXIV compared to how it was back in 1.0, I suggest you search a youtube playlist named "Remnants of A Realm"

Note on the Waking Sands ferry, that's only actually a time save if your machine has good load times. If you're on a lower-end machine or even probably PS4 due to the fact you have to go through two loading screens in a normally very high-population area (Limsa) it ends up being barely a time save over just the normal horizon warp.

these videos are very helpful i'm glad you took the time to do these

As I said in your previous video, 5yrs of playing and I'm still learning lol. Must be dump I got so mad we couldn't turn off the music in battles and it's litteraly just under the mount music which I turned off at the beginning of Endwalker... lol. Also the right-click in to turn in your items, I didn't know!! Life changer!!

5:19 that’s me lol 🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂 Thank you bro. You save me a run..

That Horizon teleport felt like a personal attack... :(

the battle effects macro will be really useful for me thank you!

You don't have to manually sort your party list when you're playing different roles. In Character Configuration -> Party List. You can set the order based on your role. So if you're a healer you can sort by tank, healer, DPS. and then if you change roles to a DPS, you can set party sort to order by DPS, tank, healer, and so forth. In addition to this, if you click Role Sort Settings, you can choose the order in which classes/jobs will auto-sort for you.

Great content, and sweet stormlight reference with your characters name

haha, I always ran away from the striking dummies. Thanks for the tips and good content.

The striking dummy tip… omg… so many times I’ve run away from them… that’s a game changer haha thanks!!

Man using the party markers when gathering is such a big brain move - I cannot believe I have never thought to do that in all this time The macro for turning on and off battle effects is great too gonna use that Ive always been hesitant to do it and never felt I particularly needed to until the most recent Alliance Raid set where it has finally become to much for me but I didn't like the idea of turning them off permanently.

battle effect macro is great thanks been playing since 2013 and never thought to try that

I've got over 10k hours in this game and that waymarkers for gathering tip had me gasping out loud! Absolutely brilliant, thank you! Also, the camera thing in your other video was always really helpful as I had no idea that was possible (one of my mains is a potato so I mostly can't see shit at all, lol). Also, I think someone else already mentioned it, but for those still unaware there's an actual Extract Materia button you can use that brings up its own menu showing all the items you have that can get materia extracted from them. I got that one on one of my hotbars for instant extractiony goodness 👍

Some REALLY useful hints. Thanks a lot.

omg for the duty finder tips! gonna try those out!

Even though I play ff for so long, I actually didnt know about the strinking dummy reset and the restriction for the leveling roulett. So much time wasted in sastasha and temple of qarn. There is always something new. Thanks :D

Woah! A lot of good tips! Thank you! 🎃

I've been playing since Heavensward and I had no idea about separating the enemy cast bar from it's health bar. Thanks for that!!

For the limited leveling roulette, I originally thought that it would prevent me running low dungeons but actually the party is formed first then the rule will apply to the lowest level party member. That's why I ended up doing a lvl 44 dungeon while my alt was 80+ because there was a lvl 45 teammate.

There is also a sprit bound extraction option in the General tap of your "spell book" that is even easier than the sorting method

For spiritbond you can also just go in the spiritbond menu because there you see whats on what percentage

I have been playing FFXIV for about 6 years now. I had no idea you could do some of these things. Thank you for your helpful videos!

you can also type /psort to sort your party instead of doing it from the menu. Focus Target is also a good way to track boss health and boss casting.

These are my favorite videos I have ever found for this game... ever better than guides.

I’m so happy to still be learning useful and helpful things from this game! Also a bit embarrassed as I’ve been playing said game for.... a long while. **ahem** Never too late to learn lol. Thank you for this video. Stay safe. ❤️

As of 5.2 and completing the "Forging the Spirit" quest in Central Thanalan, there is a "Materia Extraction" button under General Actions, which will list all of your items and their Spiritbond progress, where you can right click + Extract.

you get a sub for the striking dummy thang!! (& party in progress)

OMG, so many random things here and there i did not know after so many years xD. Thanks! (some are probly more recent)

This is easily the most useful FFXIV video I have seen in my 11 year experience of playing the game. Wow man

You're doing gods works. Keep it coming. I also have long forgotten 2.0 trick for extra Hotbar space. Any Jobs from ARR has an extra hotbar space we no longer use. For example, for Paladin, remove the job stone to revert back to your Gladiator. The hotbar you see are unique to Gladiator and it can be used for anything you desire. I use it for Job change. What I do is I put job shortcut into the first row of Gladiator bar. I then have a macro with this command. "/hotbar copy Gladiator 1 current 4" what this does is when I press the button that contains the macro, it will copy the first row of gladiator hotbar into current unused hotbar, which is 4th hotbar in my case. The 2nd row contains professions in gladiator hotbar. And I have another macro with "/hotbar copy Gladiator 2 current 4". This copies 2nd row Gladiator hotbar into my 4th hotbar. With this method, you can recreate very simple windows start button in your hotbar.

thanks for the vids mang sooo helpful i love when you say party

omg thank you so much i was running away from striking dummies too >.

one more small thing I'd like to point out which is useful in crafting (people might already know this, but I didn't know this for a long time) is when you're using a macro and you want the macro to stop instantly for some reason during craft, I have a macro with "/echo" in it. it instantly stops the crafting macro. Just thing it's useful for when something goes wrong during the crafting phase in the macro x)

For materia extraction, use the materia button in your skill panel (P - general). this pulls up a list of all your spirit bond items, Your macro is neat, but it isn't really needed. You can also use the button for aetheric reduction to get a list of all items that can be reduced to sand and crystals.

The fastes way for people who are still doing the Mainstorypart there to Waking Sands is just using the ticket you get during the Mainstory I'm glad they added that ticket

Keep up the awesome work.Love your channel!!!
