This tool allows you to export your FFXIV character into portable, generic formats.
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.
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.
Here is the list of requests we make to the Lodestone:
It makes one request to search for your character by it's name.
It makes one request to request your character's main page. The other pages are not yet considered.
It makes two requests to download images. This is currently your avatar and the full body portrait images.
Auracite can only collect as much data about your character as they make publicly available on the Lodestone.
To work around this, I created a Dalamud plugin to collect even more information. It's available in my personal Dalamud plugin repository.
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 /auracite begin 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.
The website connects to your game client locally, and it does not use my server to proxy any data. No data leaves your device.
