I installed FFXIV on a new computer yesterday, all was well. Character intact usual settings required setting up again, hud etc. On my second log in today i found i had lost my gear sets. I switched out from my level 80 summoner and equipped mining gear, saved gear set, did the same with the botanist, (both Level 80) equipped my grimoire and find that I am now a level 80 Arcanist with no available spells above level 40.
On the character pane it still says I am a level 80 Summoner in the classes and jobs section but on the right hand side above my pic I am a level 80 Arcanist. Help please I don't know what to do! Panicking!!!
All my completed summoner quests in journal have also gone.
LVL 80 Summoner now Lvl 80 arcanist?

You want to either back up the directory (the character directories under {Documents}\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE - A Realm Reborn), or upload them to the server using the data backup feature. To use the backup feature, at the character picker screen, click the little profile-and-gear image next to the character's name, and you can upload (or download) your HUD/gearsets/etc.Quote:
