    Payement for a world transfer: Steam Wallet not possible?

    Hello All

    I come with something different today.

    Subjet: I want to transfer my alt from Odin to Twintania (where I have my main).

    Issue: When I apply for a home world transfer via the mog station, everything goes trouble free up to payement. At payement, my problem is that the option Steam (Wallet) isn't available (I play via Steam).

    My questions:
    - Is Steam Wallet really not available as a payement method for home world transfer?
    - If not and that I pay with credit card instead of Steam, will the world transfer be recognized/work by/with Steam after that?

    Note that my Steam wallet has enough money to cover the payement, so it can't be the reason preventing Steam wallet to be used.

    Thanks in advance for help.

    There are conflicting answers online, but it seems transfers are an exception that can't use the Steam Wallet, for whatever reason.

    Transfering character is independent of which platform(s) you have a license for. To give an example, it's possible to have both the Playstation and PC licenses of the game, but the character transfer is independent of these two platforms.

    Ok, All, in case it can help others, I got confirmation by doing the experience myself.

    Issue: Purchasing a home world transfer when having a FFXIV Steam account.

    - Confirmed: Steam Wallet is NOT an available payement method for a home world transfer.

    - Confirmed: Credit Card works trouble free.

    - Confirmed: There is NO compatibility problem. After the transfer is done (paid with credit card), Steam will run the game with everything correct.

    - Confirmed: We shall NOT login into the game AT ALL. We MUST wait until the confirmation email telling that the transfer is completed.

    For info: They say that it can take some minutes up to a few hours. In my case, it was done within 5 minutes. To be on the safe side, I waited 10 more minutes before to login into Steam and ran the game: Everything was perfect.
