Any way to befriend other charecter on same server/account?

Hey guys I was wondering if there is any way to befriend other character on same server on same account?

I'd like to send some stuff for other character but since you can only send to friends that makes it a puzzle.

In order to befriend the character need to be on-line but since you can only have one character pr account on-line that is a problem, but is there any way to go around that?

Thank you for reply!

If you're trying to send to yourself the answer is no. You could however give it to a friend and go on your other account to get what you need. Just have your friend xfer when you log on.

Launder it through a friend. :)

There was a way once where if you disconnected during a dungeon, you could log in on the other character and if you added both characters to your FC or to a linkshell, you would find the character you disconnected still online and you'd be able to send them a friend request.

However, this hasnt worked in quite a while anymore :/

...or even easier, through your FC chest. But it really is silly you can't send mail to an alt.

Ahh damn ty for reply.

I suppose if I want to get money for other char I can make him sell something for 100k and buy it as main char.

Can't you log on with each character on a separate system? I know you can't log onto the same character but it should work for different ones no? That's how it was done in FFXI :/

Ah never mind just read that you can only have one per account online ><

SE should deficiently make it possible to send email to anyone in game on line as off line like in FFXI, I don't see the problem why not?

Although I used to think it was to try and limit Real Money Traders sending their ill-gotten gil around, in hindsight however I don't think that's actually the case anymore, and that it was simply due to to technical reasons - in FFXI the Friend List was handled separately from the game's client, being a part of PlayOnline Viewer and thus, as it was account based, it could access Friend data irrespective of what character was logged in.

FFXIV however has the Friend List integrated into the game's client, and in fact, is character based rather than account based. Each character on the one account has it's own unique Friend List, thus why you can't befriend another character on the same account. It's an odd way of doing things, but POL was unpopular so it's no wonder SE developed the Friend List in FFXIV 1.0/ARR differently.

Yeah i guess you could buy something from your other account on the market for 100k. Good idea.

it could be believed if it wasn't possible since arr came out and they changed it. if something is possible and then they change it to where it's not then it's not a system limitation, but a producer limitation.

Any chance we ever had of SE making it possible to send items between alts was lost the moment SE decided to make additional Retainers a paid service. Why would they let players get easy, free additional storage, when they can make players pay $2-$4 per month for additional storage instead?

In such case remember that you'll pay 5% listing tax so you'll end uk with only 95k on other character unless you'll menage to do it during decreased tax period (then it will be only minus 3%) and indeed you need to purchase it in the same state where it was listed otherwise you'll pay another 5% tax. The best way to transfer between characters on thesame account is to have your own FC - cost you only 15k to establish and need one friend to help you with that for about 5 minutes.
