Home World Transfer Service in Final Fantasy XIV allows you to move the characters on your service account from one Home World to another. You can transfer a single character from your service account. If you want to transfer multiple characters simultaneously, you have to meet some certain requirements.
If you’re allowed to transfer either a single character or multiple characters, you may be wondering how long Home World Transfer Service will process. Knowing the exact time of your character transfer is necessary, as you won’t wait for a longer time, right? To find out the real information about it, let’s see our post below!
How Long Does Home World Transfer Service Take?
Your characters will be transferred immediately after the World Transfer process is complete. According to some sources, it may be possible to take up to 24 hours for FFXIV Home World Transfer Service to transfer your character.
Furthermore, there is no limit to the number of characters which you can transfer to a World. Depending on World population, it is possible that Final Fantasy XIV split or combine Worlds as necessary. You should know that the name of the World will appear beside the character’s handle name if a character that is on your friend list has been transferred to another World.
If you try to transfer multiple characters to multiple Worlds in one transfer, each individual character can be moved to the World of your option as you initiate a World transfer. It’s important to note, World Transfer can only be done once in a 72-hour period. So, if you want to move to a different World, you have to wait at least 72 hours before you submit another request.
Once the World Transfer has been completed, Final Fantasy XIV will not return your character to the previous world manually. If you want to return to the previous World, you have to submit another request after a 72 hours waiting period has passed.
Additionally, any linkshell a character currently possesses will be removed and replaced with an unused linkshell during the World transfer process. Once the transfer process, it will be needed for you to create a new linkshell. As long as it is not currently in use on the destination World, it may be possible to use the same linkshell name.
For more information, your character has not been transferred after 24 hours, you can contact the Square Enix Support Center by clicking the ‘Additional Assistance’ button that you can find here.
