Mastering the UI / HUD Overview

Switching the Job Gauge to Simple Mode

The job gauge is a UI element used to keep track of certain job-specific statuses and resources.

The aesthetic design of this gauge is tailored to each job. The simple mode, however, is a minimalist layout that shows only essential information.

To change the job gauge to simple mode, first select System from the main menu, then open the HUD Layout menu. From the Current UI Element dropdown menu, select the job gauge you wish to change, then use the neighboring gear icon button to access UI Element Settings.

Selecting the box "Switch Job Gauge to Simple Mode" will change the appearance of the gauge.

* This change to UI settings must be made separately for each job.

You can learn more about the job gauge via the job guide.
