Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Lv50 Hotbar for Bard.

Somewhat adjusted in game

Bars 1-2 are on the number row (1 through =), with 2 being Ctrl+[key]. The general idea being either that the action on bar 1 leads to that on bar 2, or bar 2 is bar 1 but AoE or stronger or something of the sort. Bars 3-4 are on the numpad, and doubly so mapped on the side buttons on my mouse, with 4 being Ctrl+[key], although bar 4 is generally just assorted things for all classes to use.

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

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

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

Bard Cross Hotbar setup based from Bun Boss FFXIV on Youtube as of Jun 30, 2022 (except expanded XHB which I regularly access).

Keybinds for those interested.

I use an mmo mouse so 1-6 on all bars are pressed on the mouse, uisng shift and ctrl for bar 2 and 3. The latter 6 on all bars are pressed uisng the keyboard and shift/ctrl.

Bottom bar has no modifiers Middle bar has control modifier Top bar has shift modifier

Bar 1: 1 2 3 4 Bar 2: Q E R X Bar 3: F C V T
