Question about the extended crossbar option:

It's there to make it easier to access more buttons but... the bar you are actually activating with the extension still is there when you toggle, or is it something I'm overlooking?

Example, I play with 2 crossbars normally, I can fit everything (blm&whm 60) in two bars nicely. But thinking about sch or smn, I WILL need a third bar, and I tried this "extended crossbar" option. I thought it was neat, I can toggle from Xbar 1 to 2, and then press the extended combo to get another micro Xbar which is hosted in Xbar 8, but wait, I toggle back and forth and Xbar 8 also toggles. I thought that bar would be hidden for toggles if you have it on extended? What am I doing wrong? I really get mixed up in duties with 3 bars :/

Bloodrayne, exactly your point hehe

This happened to me when I was first trying to figure it out. You got to make sure the hotbar you are using as extended is not being shared and also to not appear when you are using actions. My attack options only appear when I hit L3 to draw my weapon. So that kind of makes it easier to figure out how to set it up in my opinion. But basically make sure it is unchecked from the all the hotbar options in the configuration area. If I remember right, my extended is hotbar 4. And set four is not checked at all. Not for shared, not for when weapon is drawn or anything. So it only shows up by either using L2 + R2, or by holding R2 and choosing set 4. My suggestion is try going into the hotbar options, and unchecking set 8 and go from there.

If you have to switch stances use macros. When I select deliverance it switches to one hotbar, and when I select defiance it switches to another. I put my abilities L2+R2 and R2+L2. Super easy.

Did it mean the system default ex-hotbar for pets which is not editable ?

Btw, read like you never use pvp actions... as you can "fit everything" (blm&whm60) ^^;

No, just any extra bar.

I don't pvp as whm or blm ^^ and mainly because I just can't play with 3 bars. I pvp as brd and have brd set up especially just for pvp.
