Ultimate FFXIV Hotbar Setup Guide - Customize Your Character Configuration!

hello everyone today we're talking about hot bars also be sure to like this video so algorithm set by notices me thank you very much and let's get started moving over here to the display section of the hot bar settings we have a bunch of toggles starting with display recast times this shows you how much time you have left before you can use an ability again after you use it you can also change the location of that timer to the bottom left or Center hide unassigned slots will just hide slots in your hot bar that you are currently not using cleaning up your UI each hot bar has a number associated with it 1 through 10 and the display hot bar numbers toggle will show you the number of the hot bar to the left of it enable hot bar cycling button will leave these two arrows to the left of your hot bar one which lets you cycle through your different hot bars just using hot bar one if you have enable hot bar cycling button enabled and you enable include pet hot bar when cycling that will also include the pet hot bar when cycling through the different hot bars enable drag and drop repositioning I used to think this lets you just move abilities around your hot bars but that's not the case that's what this lock here is for that'll stop you from being able to move stuff around your hot bars but what enable Dragon drop repositioning is is it enables you to actually move the hot bars themselves around without having to go into your HUD menu for that to work as well as enable drag and drop repositioning you also need to display hot bar numbers and with that displayed you can actually just grab the hot bar by clicking and holding its number and you can just drag it around your screen so you can actually move your hot bars around without going into the HUD menu finally what all these final toggles here are are just enabling and disabling the different hot bars in your UI so if you don't want to see some you can just disable them here you can also change the orientation of every single hot bar here to really customize your user interface now for the pet HPP bar display settings I feel like I should explain the different pets you have in this game so the first type of pets you have are your summons like your fairies or your carun the second type of pet are your regular mounts that you just summon out in the world and the third type of pet which has its own separate hot bar are these special Duty mounts like the duty mounts that you would use in like Beast tribe quests or your Chocobo during Chocobo races the special Duty pets are what pet hot bar display is referring to here so you can change when this hot bar for your special Duty pet is available in a duty you can make it so the actions for this pet are available on both the pet hot bar and the cross hot bar when you're using that you can only display it on the cross hot bar controller users and you can also only display it on the pet hot bar if you want now if you have the pet hot bar enabled for your special Duty pets you can display your duty pets actions in both the pet hot bar and hot bar one only the pet hot bar or just have it on hot bar one and those are the settings for your special Duty mounts your chobo races and all that this next toggle here automatically replace hot bar one with pet hot bar when mounted this setting is more for the actual mounts that you own in summon and you can change if you want the mounts abilities special abilities to show up on your hot bar one or just don't to just keep it on the pet hot bar you can do the same thing with your fashion accessories like your parasols you can have your fashion accessories actions on your hot bar one or just disable that and keep it on the pet hot bar next up we have the sharing is caring tab the shared hot bar here you can enable which hot bars are shared among certain jobs so that way you can add stuff to your hot bars and enable it as a shared hot bar and it'll stay the same throughout all the different jobs you pick if you use different jobs you usually have a few hot bars you leave unshared for you know job abilities and things like that you can enable shared hot bars for both your 10 main hot bars and the eight cross hot bars on the next section here we have cross which is all about the cross hot bar which is great for controller users so first off here you can enable and disable the cross hot bar and we have a bunch of other toggles here right under that always display cross hot bar will always display the cross hop bar even when it's not being used and if you have this not toggled then it will only display the cross hot bar when you're pressing one of the left or right uh triggers display hot bar help hot bar help is the text above the cross hot bar when you have it activated that shows you which actions are in the specific slots within the cross hot bar use pet hot bar will give you the ability to use your pet hot bar on your cross hot bar use pet hot bar for Mount actions and fashion accessories will display the actions for those mounts and accessories on your cross hot bar so you can easily access them with your game pad automatically replace cross hot bar with pet hot bar will make it so when you activate a mount with a special ability or action it will automatically replace whatever you have on the cross hot bar with those actions enable Duty action input will allow you to use the special abilities you get within certain instances on your controller by pressing the R3 button this display control guide will give you a visual display on which buttons to press in order to activate certain actions and abilities on your cross hot bar enable edit mode will allow you to quickly delete or swap certain actions and abilities within your cross hot bar with controller and cross hot bar transparency will allow you to edit how visible your cross hot bar is you can change how visible your active set is which is when you press down the Triggers on your controller and you can change how visible your inactive set is which is the set that isn't active at the time cross hot bar controls is about how you access the abilities on your hot bar you can hold the Triggers on your controller in order to access the abilities or you can just toggle by just tapping the trigger on your controller to access the abilities or mix which is kind of both you can just tap the controller to access abilities or you can hold it cross hot bar display type is more about how the actual abilities are ordered within your cross hot bar you can have it so on both the left and right side of your cross hot bar you have a actions you can access through the d-pad and actions you can access through the action buttons or you can just change it to where all the left side abilities are accessed by the d-pad and all the right side abilities are accessed by the action buttons and then we have W cross HPP bar display settings or also called double cross hot bar display settings this literally adds an extra layer to your cross hotar so you can quickly access more abilities now in order to actually access the double cross hot bar you have to change a setting in custom enable wxhb with simultaneous LT and RT double tap this lets you access your cross hop bar just double tap your trigger button and you can quickly access more abilities with a controller so for the toggles we have always display double crossbar or wxhb this will just always display your double crossbar on your screen even if it's not being used return to xhb after wxhb so this is just returning to your regular cross hot bar after using an action on your double cross hot bar this is great for if you're trying to weave abilities and things like that so you can quickly hit your double cross bar and then go right back to your regular crossbar position double crossbar separately from your regular crossbar this just lets you move around the double crossbar usually it's just right above your regular crossbar but if you want to like change the location of it on the screen you can easily do that and then finally we have our wxhb input timer this is just how long between the double taps of your trigger you can wait before the double crossbow activates so if you have this like really low you have to be really quick with the double tapping of the trigger and if you have a really high you can wait longer between the Taps of your trigger before the double crossbar activates that can be nice but you may accidentally activate your cross hot bar bar when you don't mean to when you have your input timer super high but keep it at something that you feel comfortable with within the last tab here within the hot bar settings we have the custom tab which just lets you change some extra settings this section is primarily for the cross op bar the custom tab has two different sections you have your PVE settings and your PVP settings now both of these sections have the exact same settings it's just that you can set different settings for both the PVE and PVP game mode if you want to do that so starting out here we have the expanded hold controls and it says here cannot use toggle type you usually have to use hold for some of these custom settings so take that into account as well when you're changing some of these but expanded hole controls if you enable expanded hole controls this allows you to use extra abilities if you're holding both left trigger and right trigger on your controller and you can access different abilities depending on which of the two triggers you hold down first if you hold down left trigger first then right trigger you can get a completely different hot bar then if you press the right trigger followed by the left trigger and you can completely customize that here as well if you want want by choosing which hot bar you want to access when you do this motion enable wxhb with simultaneous LT and RT double tap we've already went over this this is what you need in order to access the double crossbar and here you can enable only action buttons or enable directional and action buttons so if you enable only action buttons you you get like access to four different abilities that you can access through the regular face buttons that's where the action buttons are or you can make it so you have even more abilities you can access through the double hot bar with directional and action buttons and this is also where you can change like what hot bars you access next up we have set selection this will give you the ability to switch to a specific hot bar within your cross hot bar when you sheath or un sheath a weapon if you want to switch to a specific hot bar set when you have the weapon sheath you can enable customization for when weapon is sheath and then pick which hot bars you want to switch to when you sheath your weapon you can do the same for when your weapon is drawn and then over here in PvP settings you can click enable PVP settings which allows you to change all the same settings for the PVP game mode as well so you can have completely different controls for your double hot bar expanded hold controls and all that stuff for PVP if you want to do that and there we go I hope my mouse and keyboard brain is effectively grasp the Glorious cross hot bar in this video but that should be it for now we've only have one more chapter left before we have fully grasped the character configuration settings I'll see you guys next time don't forget to check out the rest of the playlist and yeah
