Cannot complete server transfer

[Aramina]

I'm trying to transfer my character from Diabolos to Exodus now that data center realignment has occurred and during the free transfer period. I believe I have done all the necessary steps in preparation for the transfer, but when I go through the process on Mogstation I get the error, "This character or one of its retainers is in possession of a ceremony invitation."

I have performed an /isearch for "ceremony" and "invitation" separately but neither can find a ceremony invite in my inventory. I've also reviewed my player inventory, chocobo saddlebags, and all retainers and cannot find a ceremony invitation. I've deleted my entire mogmail inbox in case someone had mailed me one and I've spoken with the NPC at the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding venue to ensure I did not have an expired invite somewhere. I've also tried logging out of Mogstation and the game and back in again.

I even took screenshots of each of my inventories for a second review from fc mates to make sure I wasn't overlooking something. I spoke with Square Enix chat support earlier yesterday but they advised that since this error is regarding player inventory that a GM would have to assist instead.

I submitted a ticket to the GM team yesterday afternoon but did not hear back from them so I'm wondering if any of you fine folks on reddit have any ideas for things I haven't tried. I was split from my raid team with the data center realignment and am currently poised to miss raid later tonight unless I can sort out this server transfer beforehand.

Do you have any paid retainers that you are no longer paying for? I am not sure if anything on inactive retainers would show in isearch, but it definitely would prevent you from transferring.

I remember someone having this issue where they stopped paying for a retainer that had an old/expired ceremony invite or blank invitation...

Yep, that's the situation that made me aware of it not allowing transfers to go through because of it. Who says forums aren't educational.
