Must Know Tips & Websites in FFXIV

[@Hardivh]

The emote sorting by alphabetical order is already worth the like

[@NakedRadish]

I don't know how many know about this, as it took a while for me to find out, but if you want to see how your current gearset looks like in other colors, you can just go to you gear window, clicking any of the pieces and selecting "Try on". After you have the try on window open, enable current gear from the bottom and now you can click on all the pieces and select "Enable Dye Preview" to change to color of those pieces.

[@ixis]

I've been playing since the launch of ARR, and seen so many "must know tip" videos that are always the same 10 things experienced players like me already know. Thank you for making the first video with some actually new tips!!

[@Leon_Aldrich]

What did you learn?

[@sunsparkda]

I've been playing for years, and I didn't know about the auto-use atheryte tickets setting. Thank you so much!

[@yyZiggurat]

Another thing about "/bgm" : You can also type "/bgm 25" (for example) to set the background music to 25%. Different numbers will work too.

[@cybercat8819]

A small tip forr the map is to hold down CTRL to make the Aetheryte Crystals show up on top of quests instead of being hidden behind them

[@chrislaine8807]

I've been playing since 2013 and I didn't know a lot of these helpful tips! I groaned out loud when I found out I didn't have to run over to my Grand company to find out which items to craft daily lol. Awesome work on an extremely helpful and well done video! Subscribed!!!!!!

[@HussarPlays]

It was such a saver. I found a way to keep both Marketboard and timers open to copy paste names of items to search.

[@crystallineentity7698]

Same, the crafting tree blew my mind.

[@EdwardPaulet]

Some these like the crafting tree and teleport tickets are relatively new additions. That said the timers page has always been helpful and I'm sorry you didn't know that XD

[@Leon_Aldrich]

I've been playing about 3 months now with 8 characters. Running to GC for each character, then writing down all the turnins (lots of ink & paper), only to find out (control U and timers) *cry*.

[@iamalthaea]

Thanks for this video, it's been really helpful! I also have been using FFXIV Hunt for my daily hunts, and just to add, the site also has a route calculator wherein you can tick the monsters you have in the hunting list, and the site will generate routes across different zones depending on time efficiency and cost efficiency.

[@ericbergquist]

Video so useful, I bookmarked it. I have only played two months, but I can already tell these tips will save tons of time during crafting and grand company daily quests.

[@randy5301]

almost 900 hours of clicking for no reason when i could be using a confirm button ........ thank you for enlightening me. i literally have had the thought "i wish i could just hit a key" so many times, and lo and behold i can lmao. also the recipe trees seem super helpful!

[@InfinitusMG]

5 on your numpad will lock your camera onto whatever you're targeting (a true "lock-on" that makes strafing around your target to hit positionals MUCH easier)

[@craigyoung2261]

Yes, but it also restricts movement as backing up and strafing are slower than running forward. It's a nice feature but they need to alter it for high level play to be viable

[@Ninjanades]

my gf and i reached our current available level cap at 80.. and now we just hold each other and cry whenever we watch your videos for not already knowing these things. thank you for all the helpful content! i've personally been playing this game off and on for over a year and am still learning new things every time i play! again, thank you for making this game easier and more enjoyable to play!

[@Leon_Aldrich]

At least you get to hold someone. I just have three cats.

[@BlueGogglesPichu]

One more point to the inventory, you can have it display all 4 pages on a grid. so mine will sort by category, but i still have it all visible without needing to switch pages

[@sapsay]

These videos are all extremely well done, thank you for making them.

[@Jolsn]

Glad you like them!

[@Zmanb14]

@@Jolsn You should add all the websites in the description as a quick link.

[@HussarPlays]

Great tips. Bookmarked half the sites and saved this video for later. Definitely lots of resources for that person that figured out the basis of the game and is getting into the optional content

[@RezboaDog]

You are invaluable to the FFXIV community! Thank you! I have been playing since 2019 and you still showed me things I didn't know!

[@lmgb8101]

OMG, 2 mins into this video and my mind is blown. I leveled several crafters to 90 without knowing this. :’( thank you!

[@Jolsn]

I wish I could say I knew about this before leveling mine :P

[@rayndooma5624]

My 1st week in FXIV, and the youtube algorithm suggested your awesome videos. The shortcut to the Waking Sands from Limsa Lominsa came at the perfect time for me haha. Pray keep doing the work of the Gods. Thank you so much for making these invaluable videos!

[@Webberjo]

The MSQ gives you tickets to teleport directly to the Waking Sands now though.

[@sheridan1217]

My tip to maximize mgp is to get the 15 percent mpg bonus items from your company squad, use one, then go do the fashion report, the large cactpot weekly rewards, and then the mini cactpot all on the same day, and you get 15 percent bonus on all of them. Also there are 3 challenges in the weekly challenge log to play verminion 5 times, note play, you do not have to win the games, you can just tab out and lose 5 times.

[@balagore]

I've been playing for a few months and this video actually blew my mind. So many tips! Thank you so much!

[@Jolsn]

Glad it helped!

[@Jmencolis]

thank mentor, you are a beacon to us newbies. Also I press F for your F Viera... you have my condolences.

[@Jolsn]

Don't worry, the bun is saved and will be back some day!

[@saltiestsiren]

okay that hud layout snap to grid trick is life-changing 😭 thank youuu

[@azurechan]

It's funny how some of these tips are fairly recent additions to the menus. I'm a nerd who reads all the patch notes, so I know when new features like the "Raw Materials List" are added, but most people don't do that. Thank you for your service to sprouts and veterans alike. There are tips in here I didn't know, like the spam num pad 0 for turn ins. I also didn't know what the different sort options did and never tested it for myself. Teamcraft is an absolute must if you craft. I use their gathering alert feature since I can easily add it to the gathering list from the crafting lists. Teamcraft also offers a gathering overlay into the game, so I can easily look in the corner of my screen to check the timer on the next node. You can also preview housing items inside your house/apartment/fc room by opening up the housing menu inside the room and selecting the "Preview Indoor Furnishings" option. It will also let you move and rotate the item so you can see how it looks with the rest of the things in your house or if it fits in an area or not. This is very helpful if you have a specific size you need something to fit inside. You can only preview one item at a time though, so if you select something else, the item you are currently previewing will disappear. A side note: Another thing Eorzea Time is used for is Hunt calls. For example, if there is an S rank monster, people will send out calls on linkshells and gather people before pulling the S rank. If there is a time given on the map for the pull, it is usually in Eorzea time, since that's the same for everyone and you don't have to deal with time zones. Edit: Also, thank you for purring time stamps on the video bar, or whatever they're called now. It's so helpful to immediately go back to a tip to remind myself when in game.

[@-BarBeaRiaN-]

Hey, it's that famous BunTuber! Thanks for the tips once again :3 Good thing youtube recommends your channel

[@TheSlenderMorris]

The timestamps :') made it so easy to watch it all in full and then come back to the parts that mattered to me, THANK YOU!

[@haddib]

THERE'S A CRAFTING TREE!?

[@TigerLoveHeart]

for garlandtools you didn't show SO MANY features : - making a group to make HUGE gathering lists - some items like in idyllshire are set as NPC selling automatically you have to tick a box in the item menu at the top to make it into a crafted item instead (so you don't have to spend 2k + gils PER item at an NPC) OR there's an option to automatically put all the items into crafter/gathered instead of bought to do the same thing but for ALL the items (it's easier that way and then set certain items to be bought from NPC) - the garlandtools bells part of the site allowing to make big amounts of timer nodes be notified when they pop (can also change many settings like a first and second notification for before and when it pops) as for teamcraft it's the site i use IF i ever need to do fishing because each fishes has their own page with literally EVERY DETAILS you need to fish a certain fish it's OVERLY GOOD for when you need to fish something very difficult to fish that needs a specific : weather, time (at the same moment), fishes to fish in between and all that stuff... the side even has timers telling you EXACTLY when the fish will be available to be fished, some fishes can take a few days or a week to be available for fishing (with every specific needed things like a certain weather at a certain time) there's also a site called something like FF14 angler or whatever for fishing, but really, use teamcraft it's just overly better, way way better for detailed fishing

[@nachos1162]

I just got back into the game after a 3.5 year hiatus, i find your videos have helped a lot with setting the game back up to get back to where i was skill wise. Thank you!

[@ariamachi]

I prefer Teamcraft for gathering. Shows you a map when you look up a node and you can set a group for nodes. Also in your lists for crafting you can just click the timed node that is listed and you will get an alarm. Teamcraft is best tool for crafting/gathering. Literal godsend.

[@JohnDoe-yl9mc]

Been playing for about 2 years now and thought I had a pretty good grasp on all the external websites to use…..was pleasantly surprised. Thank you!

[@Khaos82_]

This very helpful for someone who is still figuring things out in the game. I love crafting and I'll be spending a lot of time later rewatching this video. Thank you for taking the time and making it.

[@tyriaxepheles7996]

If you're a decorator, you should know that FFXIV Housing often has a several day delay after new items come out until they are posted. Another downside is that it's hard to figure out if an item is too big or small for what you're planning. However, sometime in Shadowbringers, the devs gave us a preview menu. Just go into your house and open the housing menu then preview indoor furniture. You can now place any housing item that exists in the game except seasonals in your house and see what it would look like without actually buying it. Unfortunately you cannot place them with glitches though. If you want to see seasonals, FFXIV Housing is still your best bet.

[@dualmouseman]

Literally the most helpful and useful video I've watched in my 9 years of playing this game. Thanks for making this!

[@MatthewTS42]

As a new player this is one of the better videos I’ve seen on hints/tips! I wasn’t aware of any of the websites players use so this is great for me, thanks a ton!

[@Gaiddan]

Das wird meine Startseite für eine Weile - ich wusste nix davon und bin so dankbar :D Mega Video!! One thing for Housing - you have an ingame Catalouge where you can place the items without buying or having them, just to look how it would look if you had it.

[@emmakpark]

oh my goodness, that 'hold shift to snap to grid' made me GASP

[@ErwinNieuwenburg]

I usually check out these type of video's to kind of laugh at the silly things a lot of people don't seem to know... But that trick for setting auto use of tickets for teleporting I didn't even know yet! Subscribing!

[@Nialro]

I've watched your video like 2 months ago and your infos were absolutely spot-on! Also the websites - I couldn't imagine playing w/o them anymore. So I wanna thank you for the effort you put into it!

[@Cloud7050]

THANK YOU! As a new player, I found the websites and their explanations especially helpful! I knew about none of them, didn't know there's so much out there, I'll definitely be referring back to this video a lot. The collection website I think will go well with my playstyle.

[@KooriGraywolf]

A bit off-topic, but I just wanted to say I appreciate you follow my same logic for hotbar keys: all physically close to WASD for easy one-handed access and return to WASD

[@nymeowi829]

I've been playing since late 2021 but have taken several breaks since them so I'm always watching these videos to get tips and tricks for when I get back to playing. Thanks for all the info!

[@r3sid3nt3vil8]

Whilst in HUD editor double click right mouse button to enable/disable highlighted HUD element When in a cutscene press spacebar to bring up a menu to allow the text/dialogue to auto scroll to next , tab button brings up text read speed menu , shift tab slow down, tab speed up

[@BloodyDIMISIS55]

is there a way to just click toggle auto scroll on and off? instead of a menu popping up

[@WalkerRileyMC]

i vastly prefer ffxiv-gathering over ffxivclock and I've been called all sorts of different rude things for suggesting it, so I'm happy to see someone else suggesting it as well.

[@Demogarose]

that "hit U, click leave" is gonna save me so much time

[@MrOniro1]

I have been playing for years and I didn't know all the tips shown, great video!

[@M0du5Pwn3n5]

My two favorite macros (other than my AoE/single target hotbar swap): Toggle music: /micon Dance emote /bgm Toggle everything else (except system, for queue sounds): /micon Shush emote /soundeffects /voice /ambientsounds /performsounds Lala bonus: Discovering Ctrl+Up/Down was a godsend, but it's annoying to reset afterwards. So I bind this macro to Ctrl+right: /micon "Eastern Bow" emote /tiltcamera 28

[@Jolsn]

Having a macro to tilt the camera is definitely useful!

[@M0du5Pwn3n5]

@@Jolsn Even better is a macro to UN-tilt the camera! I tilt it however I want during the fight, then when I'm done, just hit ctrl+right and it's back to what I'm used to.

[@TheJukeboxzero]

Wow! How did I miss the aetheryte ticket trick. Game changer for me.

[@craigyoung2261]

It's only been implemented with Endwalker

[@azurechan]

It was added in Endwalker when they made the changes to the teleport price formula.

[@FarelForever]

Honestly, for Bards, you can disable the "Performance" option, then you'll only disable those types of sounds. Really wish we had something like this for disabling the sounds of people crafting. It hurts my head

[@HankJ666]

5:40 *OH MY FUCKING GOD THANK YOU* Btw, tip for getting more MGP: If you have a squadron you can get "Gold Saucer VIP card" from the purple missions, take in mind you can only do one of these missions a week, so pick the one that gives you 10 cards The VIP card gives you a 2 hour duration buff that grants you +15% MGP on all Gold Saucer attractions, this works with Gates, minigames, mini cacpot, Triple triad matches, tournaments and I didn't test it, but probably Chocobo racing too, basically anything that can grant you MGP (minus tickets you get from Khloe or selling Tripe triad card dupes) but most importantly, it works with *the lottery and fashion report,* so basically if you pop a VIP card before your fashion report and get 80 points, you get a total of 69.000 MGP Using VIP cards you can easily passively farm MGP for the mounts if you don't feel like spending all day in the Gold Saucer, as you'll probably walk away with around 100k MGP each saturday If you wanna use them for Gates too, my advice would be to wait for either "Air force One" or "Leap of Faith" then wait until there's 5 or less minutes left to use a card and join in, this way you make sure your buff remains for a total of 7 gates as you'll have 5 minutes left in your buff for the last gate, which is enough time to complete any of them While you wait for the next gate, either do Triple triad tournaments if available, do your mini cacpots, some Chocobo racing or the chopping wood minigame in the lower floor of the Saucer The amount of MGP you obtain when using the card for gates varies depending on the gates, for example if you get "Any way the wind blows" you might come out of it with just 115 MGP, if you complete "The slice is right" you could earn up to 11500, on average completing all 7 gates will give you enough MGP as if you had completed 8

Knowing where to turn off background music so that you can hear a good player performance is handy, but knowing that you can turn off player performance sounds on the same screen is a lifesaver.

For emoticons and vendor inventories I think default order is based on Kanji keys that work like an alphabetical order for us. The problem is that when translating to English the default order makes no sense. It is the same exact situation with many vendor NPCs that seem to have the items totally in random order inside.
