How to Save Your Current Look Without Changing It?

[Evergrey]

I'm just gonna quote someone who posted a guide on how to add a character including unlocked hair since it's easier and faster that way.
Just gotta note, that if you do this you can't edit said character appearance in the Benchmark since that will remove the unlocked hair and replace it with a basic one.
So you just select the character as the one you want to use without editing it.

Save your current character appearance in the live Game.

Go to: Dokuments, My Games, Final Fantasy XIV and find the FFXIV_CHARA_XX.dat File with the latest Date. (XX representing the random numbers that will be there depending on how many Characters you have created)

Copy this File into the Final Fantasy XIV Benchmark Folder which should be just below the Final Fantasy XIV Folder.

Rename the FFXIV_CHARA_XX.dat File into FFXIV_CHARA_BENCH10.dat (Any number will be okay as long as its not already present.)

Open FFXIV DT Benchmark character Creator and select the saved preset.

Run the Benchmark!

Note: This only works for the Benchmark. You can not use the now preset Hairstyle to create new characters with said hairstyle.

I hope i could help!
