Useful FFXIV macros

Announce and start a pull countdown

Tells the party that the pull begins in ten seconds and starts the game's shared ten-second countdown. It aligns common opener preparation before combat.

/p Pulling in 10 seconds.
/countdown 10

Shirk to your co-tank during a tank swap

Uses Shirk on party-list member 2 to transfer part of your enmity to the co-tank in eight-player content, supporting a planned tank swap.

/micon "Shirk" action
/ac "Shirk" <2>

Target previous target

Returns your selection from the current target to the previously selected target. It can assist workflows that briefly switch between an enemy and an ally.

/targetlasttarget

Target party member 2

Targets party-list member 2 directly. With a stable sorting setup, it can quickly select a co-tank or another expected role.

/target <2>

Hide utility hotbars together

Hides utility hotbars 7 through 10 together without deleting their contents. It temporarily reduces interface clutter for combat, photography, or streaming.

/hotbar display 7 off
/hotbar display 8 off
/hotbar display 9 off
/hotbar display 10 off
/echo Utility hotbars hidden.

Explain a short venue wait

Bows silently and sends a Say message explaining that guests are being assisted in order. It communicates a venue queue without promising a specific waiting time.

/bow motion
/say We are seating guests in order. Thank you for waiting.
/echo Waiting announcement sent.

Assist the focus target

Changes your target to the focus target's current target and confirms the switch with a private echo. It can help align with a main tank or coordinator's selection.

/assist <f>
/echo Switched to the focus target's target.

Place Asylum at the selected target

Attempts to place White Mage's Asylum at the selected ally's feet, then falls back to normal ground targeting if target placement cannot occur. It shortens placement when the group's position is clear.

/micon "Asylum" action
/ac "Asylum" <t>
/ac "Asylum"

Reduce battle effects for raids and hunts

Keeps all of your own battle effects, simplifies party-member effects, and hides effects from players outside the party. This preset reduces visual clutter in alliance raids and large hunts.

/battleeffect self all
/battleeffect party simple
/battleeffect other off

Switch to a clean battle HUD

Recalls combat HUD layout 1 and hides utility hotbars 7 through 10, reducing noncombat clutter while keeping the battle information and actions you configured.

/hudlayout 1
/hotbar display 7 off
/hotbar display 8 off
/hotbar display 9 off
/hotbar display 10 off
/echo Switched to the combat HUD.

Target the nearest enemy attacking you

Selects a nearby on-screen enemy that is engaged with you. It helps recover a relevant target in a crowded fight without combining targeting and an attack.

/battletarget

Max old-recipe quality with Trained Eye

Uses Trained Eye on turn one to maximize quality for an eligible lower-level normal recipe. Completion remains manual so you can inspect the required progress and choose an appropriate synthesis action.

Numeric conditions not recorded — see requirements

/micon "Trained Eye" action
/ac "Trained Eye" <wait.3>
/echo Check quality and required progress, then synthesize. <se.8>

Open Emotes

Opens the Emotes list directly, avoiding menu navigation while socializing, role-playing, or preparing screenshots and letting you choose from the full interface.

/emotelist

Set a gathering alarm for midnight ET

Creates an example alarm named Gathering five minutes before 00:00 Eorzea Time. Edit the time and sound for timed gathering nodes such as unspoiled or legendary materials.

/alarm "Gathering" et 0000 5 se04

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.

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

Set focus target

Stores the currently selected target as your focus target. Use it to keep watching a boss cast or status while targeting something else, or to monitor a specific party member.

/focustarget

Change to gear set 1

Equips the gear set stored in slot 1. It provides a hotbar shortcut for a frequently used combat, crafting, or gathering job without opening the Gear Set List.

/gearset change 1

Toggle headgear visibility

Toggles only the visual display of the equipped head item without removing it or changing attributes. It is useful for comparing a glamour or showing hair and expressions in screenshots.

/displayhead

Target the party member under the mouse cursor

Changes your current target to the ally under the mouse cursor in the party list or world. Only targeting is macro-driven; healing actions remain on the normal hotbar.

/target <mo>

Switch to HUD layout 1

Switches immediately to your saved HUD layout 1. It is useful when you keep separate layouts for combat, everyday play, or screenshots and want to recall one from a hotbar.

/hudlayout 1

Start the idle camera on a selected subject

Starts the idle camera with the selected character or supported target as its subject. Use it to watch automatically chosen shots or discover ideas for a later screenshot composition.

/target <t>
/idlingcamera <t>
/echo Started the idle camera.

Enable level sync for a FATE

Enables level sync inside an eligible FATE or other supported area, letting you prepare from a hotbar instead of selecting the on-screen Level Sync control.

/levelsync on

Switch to a minimal HUD layout

Switches to HUD layout 2 and hides hotbars 5 through 10, creating a lower-clutter screen for reading mechanics or taking screenshots while retaining the HUD elements you chose to keep.

/hudlayout 2
/hotbar display 5 off
/hotbar display 6 off
/hotbar display 7 off
/hotbar display 8 off
/hotbar display 9 off
/hotbar display 10 off
/echo Switched to minimal display.

Target party member 2 and confirm

Targets the member in party-list slot 2 and prints the selected name in a private echo. It provides confirmed targeting for a role that occupies a predictable list position.

/target <2>
/echo Selected party member 2: <t>.
