Below is a link to the official Final Fantasy XIV User Interface Guide. Please refer to it for any specifics.
Go to System > User Macros to open the Macros window.
You can drag and drop your marcos over to your hotbars.
You can even put the macro window shortcut on your hotbar.
Building blocks for creating your hunt relay macros.
The number after the letter "l" corresponds to the linkshell number according to your linkshell list. The text you want to send to these linkshells go after this command.
Similarly to the local linkshell command, the number after "cwl" corresponds to the cross-world linkshell number according to your cross-world linkshell list.
Displays the map coordinates of where your flag is set. These coordinates will place a flag and open the map when you click on them.
Displays the map coordinates of where your character is currently located. Similarly to <flag>, these coordinates will place a flag and open the map when you click on them.
Displays the name of whatever thing you are targeting.
Ready for you to copy and paste and edit with your own linkshell numbers and special characters.
For relaying S-Ranks on your world to local linkshells.
Replace FAERIE with the world that the S-Rank is on. You may chose to relay only your home world's S-Ranks, or you can make macros for every world on your Data Center.
For when you are right next to an A-Rank and have it targeted:
For when you have the flag selected (you're relinking from another relay):
You may wish to be more specific about which Boss Fate if you are relaying. The current Boss Fates as of Dawntrail are:
Behemoth (Coerthas Central Highlands)
Odin (The Black Shroud zones)
Coeurlregina (The Dravanian Forelands)
Noctilucale (Azys Lla)
Ixion (The Lochs)
Tamamo Gozen (Yanxia)
Archaeotania (The Tempest)
Formidable (Kholusia)
Chi (Ultima Thule)
Daivadipa (Thavnair)
Ttokrrone (Shaaloani)
Mica the Magical Mu (Dawntrail Zone 6)
Certain FATEs award 10 achievement points upon completion. They can be found under the Battle category in the Achievements menu.
You may create a macro for each instance (1, 2, 3). This usually follows a relay with a flag of an instanced area.
If you are in the zone and instance where the S-Rank/A-Rank/Train/FATE is, the instance will automatically be part of the <flag>, so using this macro wouldn't be necessary.
There may be times where you send a bad flag or accidentally click on your macro. Have an Oops macro ready to correct yourself before anyone wastes their time following your relay.
Make a macro to hold special characters so you don't need to keep looking them up.
These are completely optional, but if you want your messages in chat to stand out, you may use these special unicode characters. A list of available ones can be found . You can copy from that lodestone post and paste them in your game. If you are on console, you will have to copy symbols from other players' messages.
Use symbols from the list to make your macro stand out. You can use an "x" icon for your Oops macro, or a special symbol with the letter "S" for S Ranks and "1" for Instance 1.
Assign icons and names to your macros so you can tell them apart easily. .
Either add your macros directly to a hotbar, or add the link to the macros menu to your hotbar. .
