Question regarding XIV data back up

[HyoMinPark]

So what does that mean? Just the Rath stuff temporarily disappeared or what? “Files got corrupted” is rather vague.

Once I redownload will it all return as if nothing happened? I have another 106 minutes so I’m bored posting on the forums.

Thanks in advance for any info.

If you’re moving around files, it’s possible to miss important ones or move important ones into places where they should not be. Most programs cannot simply be uninstalled/re-installed elsewhere via copy-pasting the contents of their program folders. It sounds to me that items from the most recent patch were corrupted, hence why Rathalos gear will not display properly for you (in-game on a character, and when you view their avatar) and why you cannot seem to find your Rathalos Scales.

As I said before, the specific items in your inventory are not stored on your system, but on SE’s servers. So they should reappear when you do a clean install of the game. If they do not, you can contact a GM in-game to see about using your one-time item restore. Not sure if they will do it for a stack of tokens, but I don’t see any reason why your items would vanish without a trace unless you physically discarded them in-game.

Yeah sorry i deleted that comment cause i read everything but the very last line of what you said.

It makes 100% sense, that simply the item disappearing from my clients view would not cause me to lose the actual item itself.

Thanks for the input.

I saw you removed your comment after I already posted. ^^;; But you are welcome.
