Help / FAQ

What is this?

Drugstore is an application that helps roleplayers in FFXIV share PCPs and MCDFs with each other.

It is not affiliated with Square Enix nor Final Fantasy XIV, and it does not connect to the game in any way. That may change in the future (think Heliosphere), but any new functionality will be entirely opt-in.

What are PCPs?

PCPs are special modpacks exported by Penumbra that include appearance data, C+, Glamourer configurations, and who knows what else in the future. Since the shutdown of Mare, and with the lack of any clear replacements, PCPs offer a stable way to let roleplayers see each other.

They are designed to be shared between players, allowing them to easily see each other's appearances.

Note: Sharing a PCP of your character with someone gives them, effectively, an exact duplicate of your character, including any customizations / private mods you may have. Only share with people you trust.

How do I use the site?

Before you start, you'll need to have an activation code from someone using the site. This is to prevent spam accounts, and to keep growth manageable.

If you have a code, you can create an account by signing with Discord (clicking the sign in button in the top right will take you to auth.flak.dev, which is the authentication provider for Drugstore). It uses the same authentication style as XMA, and the only thing it does is provide a way to identify you. Drugstore cannot see your email address, phone number, friends, or any of the servers you're in. Nor can it post on your behalf.

Once you're signed in, you can activate your account. Then, review the instructions (still wip).
