This is a short list of 3rd party tools out there for FFXIV. If you're a new player, you probably don't need these yet, and if you're an old player, you will have heard of these. For transitioning players, this might be super handy. If you know other tools that you find useful, let us know below.

Obviously, I never use these. Do not mention any parsing in game. It is against the ToS, and if someone is feeling upset, they can report you. SE has gone to lengths to not deal with this kind of thing, so don't push it. SE is unable to tell if you are using a parsing tool unless you tell someone you are.

Teamcraft: the soloution to all crafting and gathering woes, including fishing. Its got locations, requirements, recipies, simulators, and feeds market board data to Universalis if you download and enable it.

Universalis: ever felt like you're getting gouged on your server? Sick of world hopping to find the cheapest in your DC? All in one UI for your convenience. Pricing data is sourced via Teamcraft when you look at items on the market. If you feel things aren't getting updated fast enough, you can contribute too.

XIVHunt: this downloadable tool reads fates in your area and hunts you get near, and reports it to Hunt trackers. It will also notify you whenever anyone scans Hunt's or fates (especially ones with special rewards) you're looking for. If you're running a hunt linkshell, you really should have this on except when scouting for a Hunt train.

ACT: it shows your damage. It shows other people's damage. Harassing people about their numbers is bannable. Do not do that. No, really, really don't.

Ember Overlay: a member of this sub put this together. It makes the ACT overlay look nice. There are others, but this is quite feature rich.

GShade: a beautifying tool for screenshots which also has gameplay presets included. It makes the game even prettier imo. Massive thanks to the entire GPosers team.

Bard Music Player That bard playing jingle bells for 3 days straight in limsa? That wasn't manual playing. It was BMP.
