Culinarian macros

Culinarians cook the stat-boosting food that raiders and crafters run on.

22 macros

Act on Your Focus Target
General
```
/micon "Your Action"
/merror off
/ac "Your Action" <f>
/ac "Your Action" <t>
```
<f> points an action at your focus target regardless of what you have selected. Set your co-tank or the enemy you need to watch as focus, and the macro becomes a permanent second target you can act on at will.
Announce the Limit Break
General
```
/p Taking LB <se.3>
```
Tells the party you are taking the limit break before you use it. Two people using it at once wastes the bar entirely, which makes the announcement the important half of this macro.
Clear Every Marker
General
```
/marking off <t>
/echo Markers cleared <se.1>
```
Wipes all target signs at once. Worth binding next to your marker macros, because stale markers from the last pull cause more confusion than no markers at all.
Copy a Hotbar Between Jobs
General
```
/hotbar copy PLD 1 current 1
/echo Hotbar copied <se.1>
```
Copies one hotbar from another job onto the current one. Set your utility bar up once, then push it to every job instead of dragging icons forty times.

/ac "Muscle Memory" <wait.3>
/ac "Manipulation" <wait.2>
/ac "Veneration" <wait.2>
/ac "Waste Not II" <wait.2>
/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>
/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Delicate Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Innovation" <wait.2>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Manipulation" <wait.2>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/echo Macro 1 finished <se.1>

+10 more

The first half of a standard high-durability craft: open with Muscle Memory, keep Manipulation and Waste Not II running, then build progress with Groundwork under Veneration. Fifteen lines is the hard macro limit, which is why every serious crafting rotation is split in two. Adjust the action list to your own craftsmanship and control before you use it on a real recipe.

Crafting Rotation (Macro 2 of 2)
Disciples of the Hand
```
/ac "Innovation" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Advanced Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Innovation" <wait.2>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>
/echo Craft complete <se.4>
```
+4 more
The finisher. Stack quality with Innovation and the Basic to Advanced Touch combo, then cash it all in with Great Strides plus Byregot's Blessing before closing the craft. Press this the moment the first macro plays its sound.
Food and Syrup Before a Craft
Disciples of the Hand
```
/item "Cunning Craftsman's Syrup" <me> <wait.2>
/echo Buffs applied <se.1>
```
Uses your crafting meal and a Cunning Craftsman's Syrup in one press. Keep the exact item names, including the HQ marker, or the line is silently skipped.
How Waits Actually Work
General
```
/ac "First Action" <wait.3>
/ac "Second Action" <wait.2>
/echo Sequence finished <se.1>
```
A wait only accepts whole numbers from 1 to 60, and the game rounds your timing to the nearest second, which is why macros drift out of sync with the global cooldown. This is exactly why combat rotations should not be macroed, and why crafting rotations can be.
Macro Icon and Completion Sound
Disciples of the Hand
```
/macroicon "Basic Synthesis" crafting
/echo Macro finished <se.1>
```
Two lines every crafting macro should have. /macroicon makes the hotbar button show the action's own icon and cooldown, and a trailing /echo with a sound tag tells you the macro has finished instead of leaving you guessing.
One-Key Gear Set Swap
General
```
/gearset change 3
/echo Switched gear set <se.1>
```
Changes to a numbered gear set and announces it to yourself. Crafters and gatherers who cycle through eleven jobs live on these — one macro per set, all on the same hotbar page.
Repair and Carry On
Disciples of the Hand
```
/generalaction "Repair" <wait.1>
/echo Check materia before the next batch <se.2>
```
Opens the repair window and reminds you to check your materia. Crafters burn through durability on their own gear faster than anyone else in the game.
Set Kill Order Markers
General
```
/merror off
/marking attack1 <t>
```
Drops a numbered attack marker on your current target. Party leads keep one macro per marker so kill order can be set without opening the signs menu mid-pull.
Set Yourself Busy
General
```
/busy
/echo Status toggled <se.1>
```
Flips your online status to Busy so party finder invites and tells stop arriving mid-pull. Run the same line again to clear it.
Simple Pull Timer
General
```
/p Pulling in 15 <se.1> <wait.5>
/p Pulling in 10 <wait.5>
/p Pulling in 5 <wait.1>
/p 4 <wait.1>
/p 3 <wait.1>
/p 2 <wait.1>
/p 1 <se.1>
```
+2 more
A plain countdown with no sound on the middle numbers, for groups that find the full version noisy. Waits are capped at whole seconds, so the timing is approximate by design.
Sprint on One Key
General
```
/micon "Sprint" generalaction
/generalaction "Sprint"
```
Sprint is a general action rather than a job action, so it needs /generalaction instead of /ac. This trips people up when they try to macro it and nothing happens.
Switch Hotbar Page
General
```
/hotbar change 4
```
Swaps the contents of one hotbar for another. The syntax is /hotbar change followed by the page number — the older three-argument form you see in old guides no longer parses.
Tank Countdown Pull
General
```
/p <se.9> Pulling in 15 <wait.5>
/p <se.9> 10 <wait.5>
/p <se.7> 5 <wait.1>
/countdown 5
```
Counts the party down in chat with sound cues, then hands off to the real countdown timer for the last five seconds. The sound tags matter more than the text, because nobody is reading chat during a pull.
Target a Fixed Party Slot
General
```
/micon "Your Action"
/merror off
/ac "Your Action" <2>
```
The placeholders <1> through <8> address party members by their position in the party list, and <me> is always you. Useful for anything that belongs on a specific role every pull, like a tank mitigation or a dance partner.
Target and Mark an Enemy
General
```
/targetenemy
/marking attack1 <t>
```
Targets the nearest enemy and drops the attack marker on it. Party leads use it to call kill order without opening the marker menu.
Teleport to a Favourite Aetheryte
General
```
/micon "Teleport" generalaction
/generalaction "Teleport"
```
Casts Teleport to a named destination without opening the map. The destination name has to match exactly, and it is worth one macro per city you actually use.
The Mouseover Fallback Chain
General
```
/micon "Your Action"
/merror off
/ac "Your Action" <mo>
/ac "Your Action" <t>
/ac "Your Action" <me>
```
The single most useful pattern in the game. FFXIV runs every line, so listing mouseover, then target, then yourself gives you three chances to land the action. Only the first valid line does anything, and /merror off hides the failures from the rest.
The Three Lines Every Macro Wants
General
```
/micon "Cure II"
/merror off
/macrolock
/ac "Cure II" <mo>
/ac "Cure II" <t>
```
/micon makes the hotbar button borrow an action’s icon, cooldown and tooltip instead of showing a blank macro square. /merror off silences the "that action cannot be executed" spam that fallback lines produce. /macrolock stops a second key press from restarting the macro halfway through.

Other FFXIV jobs

Every job shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
