I want more than 10 Action Bars

[Ashelia_Ferron]

I am fairly new to this game, what are actually "Shared" hotbars? Why are they called "shared"?

Shared hotbars remain even if you switch classes.

I could use a few more myself.

Also they said the armory system would be great to have per job layouts a long time ago. That would also be helpful.
Also for all the people that say... it's not needed. It just doesn't effect you however the people that use what is available to them use it all.


As for having all gear sets on my hot bars, It helpful... in that any given day I login and normally play BRD as my main but after doing a few things for Tomes. I randomly pick a jobs to do things on to level them.

Crafting, Well 7 of the 8 jobs are switched often. because I craft all items needed to craft something from raw items I normally gather myself. so to craft a signal item, I sometimes need to craft 1-3 other items to craft the final item.

shared hotbars are parts of the ten hotbars, no matter how many bars you made them shared between classes, it's not gonna give you more than ten hotbars.

[Malevicton]

There's no way pvp actions, hunt stuff (I'm guessing just call macros?), or defensive healing all need their own hotbars. Putting dye and glamour on a hotbar doesn't even make it more convenient.

Echoing what others have said, you're just extremely inefficient with your hotbars.

Sounds like you aren't being efficient. Arguments about heading DF on a hotbar are kind of ridiculous. It takes literally 1 second to open and that's on ps4.

neat little hotbar :3~

[Welsper59]

#1-3 = job skills
#4 = PvP skills, Teleport, Return, mounts
#5 = Chocobo Companion commands
#6 = PvP main action bar
#7 = Hunting main action bar
#8 = defensive healer action bar
#9 = Gear sets
#10 = Gear sets, Dye, Glamour, Marking for tank, PvP Profile, Gold Saucer, Party Finder.

#1-3 = Understandable
#4 = Understandable
#5 = Doesn't exactly use up 10 action slots, but okay.
#6 = What?
#7 = What?
#8 = What?
#9 = Understandable
#10 = Some of this is understandable, but others (like PF) are another "What?" type of thing.

Can someone explain #6-8 for me? Namely in the case of #6, where you already have a bar for PvP skills, and there's only a few abilities at most that you might want to add to a hotkey that isn't in normal use in PvE.

You do realize you can make a macro that will literally change a single skill on a hotbar right? If you chain 10 of those commands together, you can have as many hotbars as you have macro slots (100).

I use these all the time as SMN and SCH to change the hotkeys for the 5 different types of pets.

shared hotbars are parts of the ten hotbars, no matter how many bars you made them shared between classes, it's not gonna give you more than ten hotbars.

shared slots don't overwrite the unshared slots of the same bar. So if you switch a bar between shared and unshared it will be like 2 bars.

neat little hotbar :3~

With some changes you can put all needed gearsets into a single bar
