HorizonXI | Macro like a pro!

[@beebs_magoo]

This is great, also just realized that you can press up and down to scroll through the pages! Thanks!

[@19Blueslifer70]

Brixy is easily imo the best when it comes to simplifying things in XI.

[@raptorking3678]

This just blew my mind. Currently lvling WHM but plan on going SMN so I will be saving this video!

[@ralphrittle3461]

Personal Thank you I found you on here and started playing on HorizonXI. Thanks for the video starting up on SMN now!!!

[@v2occy809]

Thank you! Was overwhelmed with RDM macros and SMN seemed like it was going to be hell. I really like this way.

[@DrSmirnoff]

*feverously taking notes* I love that. That's going to make Smn so much smoother. I never really looked too much into the macro system but thank you for this video.

[@Johnnyballgameus]

lmao at that yagudo chasing that guy in the background.

[@lynchmob72]

For macros, you only need to put "" when the ability/spell is more than 1 word. For instance: /pet Release , and /pet "Poison Nails" save yourselves a tiny bit of typing. :)

[@azredis9947]

Awesome guide Brixy, thanks a lot! Has helped me a ton with my SMN macros :). You gonna be doing any more advanced SMN guides? Like a gearing guide or so? That would be awesome ^^

[@space_audits]

Definitely doing it this way next time I play XI.

[@JayTelo]

Your doing the lords work, brother

[@BrixyXI]

Gotta help the people get around those archaic menus that FFXI uses lol.

[@Exodus311]

Holy crap, I had no idea you could do this. Just subbed to your channel, amazing content.

[@GixerGG]

May have to try this macro system out for bard so I can set songs up for different situations rather than putting them all in 1 macro book and scrolling down to find the song I need. thanks Brixy

[@kittandpup5633]

All these years playing smn and I didn't know about /macroset x.x

[@BrixyXI]

It's a game changer :)

[@kevinL-tv9rk]

thanks for this amazing guide... now my smn macro's look nice and compact instead all over the place :D

[@djmalic3]

Wow, I just unlocked summoner, I use a RDM currently at level 54 and I flip through my books manually. Gotta rewatch this and do it on my end !

[@Max655]

Amazing for beast master ready spells. Thank you!!

[@Rhomagus]

You can technically make a master macro configuration that covers every ability, spell, and system command in the game with space left over.

[@Bergje360]

After more then 20 years of playing. Now i only learned about the macro command macroset and macrobook. And still strugging with the copy and paste within the macro menus. 🙈🙈😳

[@DimiusG]

This vid is helping me macro smn immensely lol. As a noob (lol), around 4:39, where do you find what abilties your avatar has to make macros for?

[@BrixyXI]

ctrl b is the shortcut I use on keyboard to pull up pet commands. Otherwise they are under abilities > pet commands.

[@DimiusG]

@@BrixyXI thank you! It's a lot to take in but I'm learning haha

[@UndergroundGamer]

Good stuff! What kind of changes did you make for you chat log, looks very clean!

[@BrixyXI]

I have a custom background for menus. You can find the program to change them in most XI View downloads. I'm also running windower instead of ashita and battlemod to change the text.

[@russellboley1994]

Great video!

[@GrimscarSC]

I see my name in your chat at the start :D lol

[@marc-andrelachapelle5707]

can you adjuste the macro from the folder? quite long and annoying to write a macro in-game.

[@ChilleUK]

This is awesome thank you

[@BrixyXI]

No problem! Hope it helps lots of people :D

[@ChilleUK]

@@BrixyXI I'm thinking about trying it tomorrow. My setup is kind of unusual right now due to the fact my right wrist is dislocated so I only have access to one hand so I've got stuff macro to Tartarus to make it easier but doing these macro bars might make it even easier

[@BrixyXI]

@@ChilleUK That really sucks! I'm sure you can find a way to use this method to make it easier to play one handed. Most of my macros are controlled with my left hand entirely with this method tbh.

[@buddah1978egypt]

My retail smn sets were identical nearly

[@yannsolo150]

I remember that period when I played FFXI between 2004 and 2016... Is the HorizonXI server still active?

[@BrixyXI]

Very active atm. At least a good 3k+ on at any given time. Lots of shouts for stuff going on as well.

[@yannsolo150]

I have looked into this in detail on the HorizonXI website, thank you for getting back to me as soon as possible. We're really back to the level 75 era. I hope to find a linkshell in the next few days. And for leveling it's still the same as in the old days after level 10 I go back to Valkurn Dune (Noob land) ? 😅 Cya in game !

[@fran9426]

Game changer!

[@Antonin1738]

Thank ye!

[@thewarky]

thank you I am going to copy you :)

[@rashid2898]

what is the point of rdm now?

[@BrixyXI]

They are still the enfeeble kings/queens. Merits will come down the line for their stronger enfeebles. Phalanx II for the tanks will always be useful and a unique thing to RDM. Summoner's phalanx via Diabolos has always been weaker in comparison.

[@rashid2898]

@@BrixyXI thats pretty bad to be honest

[@LordRone]

I use to program macros to tell jokes.

[@scenemore]

maybe I'll finally download it and tank on RDM and live out my final fantasy :/

[@MrDaddyMans]

Can you add equipment sets as well? Do they even work on horizon?🤷 What would that look like if possible?😎👍

[@BrixyXI]

you can use /equipset in your macros example: /equipset 1 (a fastcast set) /ma "carbuncle" /equipset 2 (an idle set) /equipset 5 (a ws set) /ws "tachi: gekko" /equipset 7 (tp/haste set)
