Random Tips, Tricks, & Helpful Information

check all the keybinds. there alot of useful ones that aren't bound by default I think.

The one tip that i use when i play: Pay it Forward

If someone helps you out, try and help someone else when they need it, and as Kanash said, Remember, at one point in your gaming experience, you were once a newbie too

edit:
Save your gil, most decent gear and weapons can be farmed in the dungeons (no matter how tedious it seems) and can usually carry you for 5+ levels
and one i wish i would have followed: Try and level a craft and gathering skill together. both will help you craft gear you may need later, or can sell to make gil, or spirit bond and convert to materia you can sell or use

Updated the listing, and keep sharing! Storm, that map trick is incredible. I wasn't aware! :confused:

Thank you!

to add to customizing your UI, you can use Control-HOME to adjust the size of elements. You can adjust the size of your hotbars and background elements in the UI menu, you can change your menu sizes by having them selected.

Edit1: If you don't know how to use a command type /? /*command* , this is a carry over from 11 and it will spam your chat log with the syntax for what you're doing
example: /? /pcmd, which stands for party command

Edit2: Sometimes it's a good idea to Focus-Target players, other times Monsters (Shift-F to set it, only works for PC)

- Avoid spamming emotes by entering motion. Example: /poke motion
- To quickly blacklist the last tell (from an RMT), make a simple macro with the line, "/blacklist add <r>"
- You can watch a cooldown from an action by putting this line at the top of your macro code: /macroicon "Input action name here"
- If you play with a controller, you can dismount by hitting the L3 button
- If you play with a controller, you can enable hotbars to switch when you draw your weapon. Turn on "Enable customization" and "Enable customization for when weapon is drawn." in the Character Configuration > Cross Menu, and highlighting one hotbar each to switch to.
- If your hunting monsters for items or in a fate party with multiple monsters dying fast, use /targetenemy and /action "Input ranged action here" <t> for quick targeting the nearest enemy. Use actions that are instant cast such as Tomahawk, Piercing Talon, Aero, etc.

From your screenshot's it looks like your playing ON THE ps3 but how did you get those extra skill bars underneath and to the right of your main one? They look so useful lol xD

I'm going to guess playing on PC, with a controller. I don't believe that hotbars 1-10 area available for PS3 users (as they would require a mouse or hotkey binding to use)

Ah figures xD My screen feels a bit cluttered as it is anyway even with all the customizing I did, the PS3 does not have a lot of screen real estate to work with.

I play on PC and use a controller primarily, but I customized my UI to use the cross hotbar and added in other hotbars as I felt I had some more space. I only utilize a few of the buttons on the additional hotbars so they can fit pretty much anywhere. It allowed me to compress all icons to the bottom 1/3 of the screen, and just leave combat information visible on the majority of the display.

Here is a photo of my current UI mapping. You can see Hotbars 1 and 2 (horizontal), and hotbar 7 (vertical - for my choco). Typically, I use the extra hotbars for those skills I seldom use, but are handy to have available (fishing log on FSH, fluid aura on WHM, or customer crafting macros are examples).
