D:\Program Files\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\USER\bae7d6
(Note that I specifically installed the game to Program Files and not Program Files (x86), so change as appropriate)

I'm not really sure the macro book files (99% sure the MRK files are the macro book files) are useful just by themselves, but I did some searching on my own to see if anyone's talked about this and came up dry as well.

That being said: The server backup feature works just fine, I used it to restore my macros and such after building a new PC and it worked flawlessly. No need for any manual file copying. Just press + at the character select screen or use the mouse to access the menu in the top right corner. Just something to consider.

Offering this out of genuine desire to help.
I realize that your just offering the help, an thats cool.. but this is a subject that people are treating like "nuclear launch codes" an their really not.
This game has been out for far too long for "no one to know anything" so I won't back down.

SE needs to give us a straight forward way to share this between chars/accounts/friends/manual backups to SD cards.
I don't personally want to re-write all of those (macros) for others over an over an over again. I doubt anyone else does either.

If we press on with this, only 1 of 2 things can happen. Lets keep going.
