Job Gauge

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:

• Elements used to track uptime of Job's specific buffs. For example Dark Knight's Darkside or Ninja's Huton.
• Elements used to track numerical value (usually 0 to 100) of available resources. For example Paladin's Shield Oath or Samurai's Kenki.
• Elements used to track number of available stacks (usually 0 to 3) of specific Job Gauge. For example White Mage's lilies or Scholar's Aetherflow.

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. They contain same information as the original, but they do not have 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.

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

/jobhudmode

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

/jobhudmode [number]

For Samurai, job gauge 1 is the Kenki gauge, and 2 is the Sen gauge.

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 or any other combination.

Settings for both styles of job gauges are saved on the HUD layouts 1 through 4 individually, so you can switch between all sorts of modes as you like.

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