This page lists all player-created hotbar (HB) and cross-hotbar (XHB) layout guides and keybindings for the Machinist Class/Job in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail.

New LayoutNew Layout
The war with Dravania rages on, brutal and unrelenting. With no end in sight, the Holy See grows desperate. As her dragoons lay down their lives in defense of their home, Ishgard turns to technology to protect her sons and daughters. Great cannons and ballistas now line the city walls, plucking dragons from the sky.

Following the example of Cid Garlond, who has demonstrated the potency of magitek, the Skysteel Manufactory works tirelessly on the development of advanced armaments. As new and devastating weapons are brought to the fray, a new class of champion arises to wield them―the machinist.

    Current WIP for updated hotbars in 7.0, focusing on minimising swapping hotbars in combat and keeping visual clarity on relevant buff cooldowns and maximising consistency across all jobs. Bar 1 is for single target, and Bar 2 for AoE.

    The Glamour Plate button is being used in place of the newly added skill as needed, and the dye represents potion. Sprint and LB are macroed to L3/R3 respectively.

    this is for my ROG Ally when undocked. do not use on console. Left trigger is for aoes/ trash pulls. Right trig is for single target.

    you might notice there are important skills missing. this requires xivcombos plugin on PC. otherwise this will not work.for example, after using hypercharge, it changes to heat blast. scattershot will also turn into autoxrossbow while in heated mode. Your 1-2-3 combo also gets combined into one slot. This let's us occupy at least 5 fewer slots without losing any functionality, which makes using a xhb far more practical.

    this uses a wxhb that automatically switches back after 1 input. just a preference.

    the empty slot is for pots..don't know how to add this here.

    Gain Full Metal Field. (Decouple from Barrel Stabilizer. Teleport as placeholder.)

    Seems like that's about it.

    Preliminary 7.0 Setup

    My goal is to normalize same/similar skill positions across all of my jobs for consistency and muscle memory. While also trying group skills in a thematically and aesthetically pleasing way.

    Waiting for the new action images to get added in to fully get this good

    Make sure to change Double tap L2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Left" and Double tap R2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Right"

    90 -> 100 changes:

    • Double Check + Checkmate: These upgrade Gauss Round and Ricochet (no change needed)
    • Excavator: Action Change following Chain Saw (no change needed)
    • Full Metal Field: Action Change following Barrel Stabilizer (no change needed)

    Basically free this one.

    Other placeholders:

    • Medicine bottle macro: Whatever is the most recent healing potion

    How I set up my crossbars as a machinist on steamdeck (Currently level ~65)

    I try to play every classes/jobs, thus I tend to reuse same slots for same "functionality" across jobs.

    Used the following link to add keybinds to the back triggers : https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/vdnmji/advanced_controller_tips_for_steam_deck/

    ||| L4 -> Target nearest enemy
    ||| R4 -> Cycle through enemies (nearest -> furthest)
    ||| L5 -> Sprint
    ||| R5 -> Inventory

    ||| L2 + L5 -> Mount
    ||| L2 + R5 -> Armour chest
    ||| R2 + R5 -> Chobo inventory

    I'm a small streamer that loves FFXIV and many other things. The XHBs I publish are solely how I personally like to organize my Hotbars when on the controller! Feel free to use them if you too like them! Some are thrown together and some are planned out.
