Choose a single action or a sequence
An action-bar shortcut activates an individual skill or usable item. The Action Slot queues skills to run in sequence. Begin with skills you already understand, rather than building a long sequence before checking each skill.
Check the first skill
Select a suitable target and use the sequence. Each skill still needs its normal weapon, target and resource requirements. If the opening skill cannot be used, the sequence cannot carry on as though it succeeded.
Adjust the sequence
Open Skill to inspect the skills available to your job. Check their descriptions, put suitable skills into your sequence and try it again. Use direct skill shortcuts when you need to choose an action independently of the queue.
When a sequence stops
Check your target, equipped weapon, available MP or FP and current movement state. The Action Slot does not remove skill restrictions. Short sequences make it easier to identify which skill cannot be used.
