<p>This tool allows you to export your FFXIV character into portable, generic formats.</p>
<details>
<p>Auracite uses the Lodestone for collecting data about your character. We use a proxy and that's unfortunately necessary, due to CORS compliance and Lodestone doing annoying browser compatibility checks we need to inject cookies for.</p>
<p>The entire process happens locally, and does not give me any personally identifiable data about you. We only collect what is already publicly available on the Lodestone.</p>

How does this work?

<details>
<p>Here is the list of requests we make to the Lodestone:</p>
<p>It makes <strong>one request</strong> to search for your character by it's name.</p>
<p>It makes <strong>one request</strong> to request your character's main page. The other pages are not yet considered.</p>
<p>It makes <strong>two requests</strong> to download images. This is currently your avatar and the full body portrait images.</p>

What kind of requests does Auracite make?

<p>Auracite can only collect as much data about your character as they make publicly available on the Lodestone.</p>
<p>To work around this, I created a Dalamud plugin to collect even more information. It's available in my personal Dalamud plugin repository.</p>
<p>The plugin needs to start a local HTTP server in order to communicate with Auracite. To prevent this from running all the time, you must type <code>/auracite begin</code> before clicking the "Download" button. Once the process is complete, the server is shutdown automatically. It's always safe to disable the plugin when you're not using Auracite.</p>
<p>The website connects to your game client locally, and it does not use my server to proxy any data. No data leaves your device.</p>
