Alchemist Hotbar Layouts and Guides

Updated for Dawntrail

The idea for my DoH setups is that there is a main hotbar for the most common crafting rotation actions (for 80+), you press R1 to access all other quality, progress and misc. actions, and the middle hotbar is for crafting macros plus Specialist actions. "8", "4", "7" and "3" are for 80, 40, 70 and 35 Durability respectively. With the gold colour macros being 2 steps

Layout for all my crafters. Ignore bar 4 or throw them on another bar somewhere. It's just specialist actions. Room for 4 macros on Bar 3

Yup

Progress actions on the right, quality actions on the left, specialist actions on the expanded hotbar. Crafter skills are the same across all classes, this can be used by all crafters

5-year KB+M player gets Steam Deck, is forced to learn controller. I mostly macro craft, so in reality my WXHB has been entirely replaced by macros as I find I use the actions up there less.

The XHB setup I use for my crafters. 1-3 are unique to the job; all else are shared between all jobs. XHB4's LT->RT pane is a selection of emotes. XHB7 is my job selector.
