Anyway to set your default text to shout?

Some people seem to be able to have the setting stuck on shouting, others (including myself) werent able to.

LOL love it!

Hehe, I wanted to put a /say "Of course I don't mind, your're very welcome!" above that, but it wouldnt fit with the amount of letters in a post

Thnks for the info

I have limited mobil in my fingers so i have to click more than normal is there a way to write a macro the i can place a 4 cure buttons on my bar and when i click it it will heal each player example F1 cure F2 cure etc instead of pressing the F key and clicking i want a button on my hot bar i can click

Yea, I believe the proper adjustment would be

/ac "Cure" <#1>
/say "Now that's a quality Vanilla vlan!"

or

/ac "Cure" <1>
/say "Frozen Tuna, to the face!"

just replace the number with the party member number.

Thank You Dikai!

Good guide. I played during the beta 4 and wanted to set some macros had some setup in FF11 and also had gear setup on FF14 after it had launched (The First Time) for a while. Love the armory system wont have to macro my gear anymore, and can setup some spells and whatnot to some macros.

Thanks for the refresher course!

Never got an answer to my question so i'll try again.

whats the command to set a focus target?

also what would be a macro to use to assist my focus target?

In other mmo's i like to set the tank as my focus target then use a macro to assist him to stay on the right target when dpsing.

I'm going to set up some heals for cabuncle, aiming is annoying xD

How would I make a macro that casts 3 spells at once, but only casts the one that is available? aka 4 skill slots for 3 pets rather than 12.
