FFXIV MACRO

Set and confirm a focus target

Sets the selected target as focus and prints its name in a private echo message. This gives both a HUD and text confirmation that the intended boss or ally was stored before a pull.

Macro code

/focustarget, /echo

/focustarget <t>
/echo Set <t> as focus target.

What this does

Sets the selected target as focus and prints its name in a private echo message. This gives both a HUD and text confirmation that the intended boss or ally was stored before a pull.

How to use

Before combat, select the target and run the macro. Confirm that the focus panel and echo message show the same name, then continue targeting enemies or allies normally.

Requirements

Select the intended target and keep the focus-target HUD element visible.

  • Requires a valid target

Notes

`/echo` appears only in your own log and does not notify the party. No action is performed, but running it without the intended target can replace useful focus information.
