[Suggestion] FFXIV Alt-Friendliness

[bundythenoob]

100% agreed! I have tons of alts due to how I like to match certain races and Job aesthetic (thanks WoW), and having access to more ways to streamline the experience would be great
it's nice being able to make alts in different DCs but re-grinding the MSQ can make catching those alts up a hassle, not to mention gearing and re-unlocking all the side content

maybe those calamity salvager NPCs can be used to "store" our account-wide items for us to retrieve? they already store MSQ-related items for us, might be a good way to use an already existing system

[Kohashi]

The only thing I want is a button that says: Do you want a max level character or start one anew?

That is AFTER you have already cleared the MSQ and have at least 1 class at lvl 100 on your account. That's it..

+1 for more alt friendlyness

[Asari5]

yes please

make a new accountwide glamsystem. glam is one of the most important things in this game. so it should be worth it.

One thing I'd like is for the moogle mail be open to alts/other players. The fact players need to be on your Friends List to be able to mail anything is ridiculous. What if your friends list is full?, you can't mail anything unless you kick someone off your friends list. Or what if I wanna send something to an alt that they could use food, Piece of gear or otherwise nope can't do that. Unless you get someone trustworthy to trade to and they traded to your alt or you utilize the free company safe To transfer items between players.

Yes please. It's so ridiculous that all store items aren't account-wide. And achievements. I gained those achievements. It shouldn't matter which character I am on, I was the one that did the work.

And also yes, on character creation, just have an option "do you want to have a fresh alt or do you want to start from lvl 100 with everything unlocked?". You wont let us (OCE) DC travel so, if I want to PVP in other regions (last night, literally, Seal Rock was like 1 1/2 hours and had 4 matches. That's it, no more pvp until tonight for probably just 1 hour, as it is Shatter), I need to create an alt. And I have to do the same bloody MSQ over again. And unlock all the jobs. Its tedious and mind-numbing. And I dont have my glam, gil or mounts.

Curiosity here ... why, exactly? Does there have to be any gil for this level 100 character? Are you attempting to corner the housing market across worlds? Should that max level character come with appropriate gear, or will starting gear be enough? Do the gathering and crafting jobs have to be maxed out as well?

Think through the logistics for a bit and let me know the "why".

I see a lot of people sharing the sentiment that stuff should be shared, which is good. I would go to World of Warcraft levels of 'we should have a transmog (glamour) journal like that with mounts/pets as well)' but I don't know if they'd go that far. One could hope, though. But even the bare minimum would be better than nothing, and yes, I'm aware not everyone has alts. Not everyone plays Savage or does deep dungeons or any other content, really. Not everyone has housing. Yet stuff's all added for that. I don't think it's a stretch to say people have different playstyles.

It would be nice to have a desire to do something in the game when I legit have no cares to get something on a certain character but again....am story locked on the rest that it may fit on.

Bringing this topic up again now that the game is on folks' minds and hopefully the idea of doing content on your main you can apply to your alts is enticing!

It would be a huge QoL thing that makes the game offer so much more for me to go for.
