(Attempt to modernize page. Still incomplete, I don't have enough knowledge to describe every job. It's also unclear whether job gauge means specific resource or UI element. Ingame tooltips seem to use it interchangeably.)
(Fixed more gauges, RPR and MNK are still incomplete. I tried to wing it with jobs that I don't play, there might be mistakes.)

Multiple resources can be shown in single UI element, for example [[Sage|Sage's]] [[Addersgall]] gauge shows progress bar for replenishing [[Addersgall]], current amount of [[Addersgall]] stacks and current amount of [[Addersting]] stacks.

Some gauges can be unevenly split into multiple UI elements, for example [[Samurai]] has 3 resources - [[Sen]], [[Kenki Gauge|Kenki]] and Meditation stacks. [[Sen]] has individual UI element, while [[Kenki Gauge|Kenki]] and Meditation stacks share same UI element.

==Simple Job Gauge==
==Simple Job Gauge==
Simple job gauges are simplified version of the original UI element. Simplified job gauges contain same information as the original, but they do not contain unnecessary graphical elements, like background images. Simplified job gauges of different [[Job]]s often look very similar if they work on similar basis. For example, simplified version of [[White Mage|White Mage's]] lilies and blood lilies are nearly identical to [[Sage|Sage's]] [[Addersgall]] and [[Addersting]], while their original version are easily distinguishable because of their very distinct graphical design.

Introduction

Job Gauge refers either to an UI element used to track Job's specific resources or to resource itself. This includes, but is not limited, to:

Multiple resources can be shown in single UI element, for example Sage's Addersgall gauge shows progress bar for replenishing Addersgall, current amount of Addersgall stacks and current amount of Addersting stacks.

Some gauges can be unevenly split into multiple UI elements, for example Samurai has 3 resources - Sen, Kenki and Meditation stacks. Sen has individual UI element, while Kenki and Meditation stacks share same UI element.

Simple Job Gauge

Simple job gauges are simplified version of the original UI element. Simplified job gauges contain same information as the original, but they do not contain unnecessary graphical elements, like background images or overwhelming animations. Simplified job gauges of different Jobs often look very similar if they work on similar basis. For example, simplified version of White Mage's lilies and blood lilies are nearly identical to Sage's Addersgall and Addersting, while their original version are easily distinguishable because of their very distinct graphical design.

Switching between Normal/Simple Modes

You can switch between the normal and simple versions of the job gauge display through the individual HUD layout options.

  • You'll need to be on the job you want to change your job gauge.

Simple job gauge3.jpg

You can also switch between the two versions using the following text command:

/jobhudmode

If there are two job gauges available, assign a number to switch the specific job gauge display:

/jobhudmode [number]

Simple job gauge4.jpg

And for jobs that have more than one gauge, you'll still be able to use the text command by adding a "1" or "2". Using the summoner's job gauge as an example:

/jobhudmode 1 will change the Aetherflow Gauge, and

/jobhudmode 2 will change the Trance Gauge.

Simple job gauge5.jpg

For scholar, job gauge 1 is the Aetherflow Gauge, and 2 is the Faerie Gauge.

Job Gauge Settings and Layout

If Job has multiple UI elements, you can mix and match them however you want. You can use simplified Kenki gauge while simultaniously use normal Sen gauge.

Simple job gauge7.jpg

Machinist above has a normal Ammunition Gauge, but is also using the simplified Heat Gauge.

Simple job gauge8.jpg

Last but not least, the settings for both styles of job gauges can be saved on the HUD layouts 1 through 4 individually, so you can switch between all sorts of modes as you like.

Tanks

All Tanks have gauges that change their design to reflect whether they have their respective tank stance active.

Paladin

Oath Gauge:

  • Oath is charged by auto-attacks. Auto-attack for Paladin occur every 2.24 seconds, meaning it takes nearly 44.8 seconds to charge gauge from 0 to 100. The accumulated Oath can then be consumed for Sheltron, Holy Sheltron, Intervention or Cover.
