World Transfer questions for those who have done it...

Hello

Am currently Legacy on Balmung and am going to transfer over to Ragnarok. Just had a couple of questions.

It talks about rehiring retainers after you get moved. I assume you just go through that same procedure that we did in the 1.0 transfer? And did your retainers transfer okay with all their items in tact?

After you initiate the transfer how long did it take?

Thanks!!

I don't remember retiring my retainers when I transfered from Excal to Sarg back when the first transfers started.
My retainers did transfer with their inventories completely intact though.

A few minutes.

Okay, heres where it commented about the retainers:

・Your character must rehire any retainers carried over from Version 1.0.

Heres something else I found, anybody know what the limit is?

・Gil

* Please note there is a limit to the amount of gil that can be transferred, and any gill exceeding this limit will be lost.

that part about rehiring retainers was if your char was a 1.0 char, the retainers have to be rehired before you can transfer

the current amount fo gil you can transfer is 1m per char and 100k per retainer

And about your gil question:

You can transfer with you a maximum amount of 1 million gil plus 100.000 per retainer on your retainers.
If you have more, invest surplus in items with equal or close to equal value, like Allagan coins, if you have less then you have nothing to worry about.

you could always buy alagan coins from the market board then sell them after the transfer

Yeah I guess thats an option if I will make my money back...

Its a good thing I read the "fine print". I wonder how many people transferred without knowing that...

Just be careful to not have a placeholder character with the your name on that world. I just got screwed out of a weekend of play because I had no warning that the forced name change wont let you reuse the old name.

I transferred from Ragnarok to Hyperion, when it mentions rehiring retainers, that's for 1.0 characters, because we got to rehire them when we started again, you don't need to dismiss them then rehire them. However you may have to rename retainers if there is already a retainer with the same name. All items and gil (over the stated retrictions) were fine.

The transfer was also instant for me, I transferred, received the emails and bam could log into my new server (but it can take slightly longer.)

@op : I would just make 7 additional characters on the same server if I could when new character creation is open up. Get a friend to help with the money move and give 1 mil gil to each of your characters. That allows you to leave the server with at least 8 mil gil in your pocket. Not even including retainers which I know is only 100k so no thought there lol. Items like others have said are also good but nothing beats cold hard cash moving with you.

i would wait as i would assume that if there going to allow legacy to normal world transfers i would say they may change the limit on gill .. I've found you may need to rename your retainers if there name is taken in the destination world also

But I was below the stated maximum for transfers, if you are above that you will loose some gil.

Yes, they confirmed its only 1 million gil and 100k per retainer.

So yes anything over those 2 values will be lost, but as someone said just buy tonnes of alagan pieces then sell them back when you switch.

Yes but that would mean I would have to do 8 separate transfers doesn't it?

World Transfer

Read it carefully. Also:

Quote:

---

The character you wish to transfer must be at least three days old.

---

I transferred myself from Phoenix to Odin in January, it took only an hour I believe and nothing got lost on retainers or my inventory.

no, 1 transfer is 1 world(up to all 8 chars if they exist) to another world(if you had many chars you wanted to transfer to multiple worlds it would be more than one transfer), but as mentioned by bunnychain each char must be atleast 3 days old

Did you resolve your issue ??

I did the exact same thing, and even after I deleted the placeholder it still doesn't allow me to use the name.
I'm waiting for monday to call support, but I'm scared that they might not want to help me with this mess D:

Edit: Lesson to learn:
If you have a placeholder character in your destination server, make sure to delete it first, BEFORE applying for a transfer. It takes approx. 20 mins for the system to update that the character has been deleted, and so the character that you going to transfer won't be locked behind a "Must change name" flag.

Hello

Wanted to follow up on this again as there seems to be some confusion on what I'm being told about the amount of gil. Heres a link to the world transfer info and it says on there now:

Furthermore, characters can only transfer 3 million gil, while retainers can only transfer 1 million gil. Please be aware that excess gil will be lost.

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...0d89b2db8854b5

And heres a link that says the one million and 100k per retainer, so which one is it lol

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...4c3d8619e086af

Thanks

It will be the second one (http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...4c3d8619e086af) as this refers to 'paid' transfers whereas the first one was for the free transfer period.

Quote "World Transfer Service free of charge from Tuesday, October 15, 2013, to Tuesday, October 22, 2013, 01:00 a.m. "

So unfortunately it is 1million per charactrer and 100k per retainer. (and $18 lol)

Yeah I finally got that figured, SE sent me the link to the first one, I should make them stand by it lol

Hello

Was curious if they have changed that gil limitation for transfer or is still the same? If anybody has done it recently...

I transferred from diabolos to balmaug just last week you are only aloud to bring over 1m on you and 100k per retainer.
