• Free Trial Players cannot send in-game letters using the moogle delivery service during the Free Trial.
• Free Trial Players cannot trade with other players during the Free Trial.
Free Trial players cannot send or receive mail from other players, normally. You can however receive mail from Square Enix themselves, which will happen if you buy something from the Online Store, or from community event rewards. Purchases from the store may take a while to arrive.
It’s generally not possible to trade other players in the Free Trial, however, there is a few loopholes regarding this.
Free Trial Trading Methods
• If you become a tenant at a friends house, you’ll be able to store and withdraw any furniture. It’s even possible to trade “untradeable” and bound items through this method. You can use the furniture to help decorate, or you can desynth the furniture for unobtainable materials and desynthesis levels.
• As a house tenant, you can also help manage the gardens and flower pots, as long as you have the required permissions. While you can grow things for yourself, you could also grow items for the home owner! Likewise, the homeowner can provide seeds and grow items for the Free Trial player!
[ To become a house tenant, you need to be on the same home world as the subbed player, and you need to be on their friends list. Only personal housing can be used for this, FC rooms and apartments cannot be shared. Additionally, homeowners can choose which permissions you have. ]
• The final trading method allows subbed players to send mail, with items attached, to Free Trial friends. As soon as the game goes down for maintenance, it stops checking for the Free Trial status until the FT player logs back in. If a subbed player sends mail during this very specific time (after maintenance, but before the FT logs in), the mail will actually be sent. Any tradeable items can be sent this way.
[ Mail Trading only works one way, to the Free Trial player. To send mail, you need to be friends and you must be from the same home world. Up to 20 items can be sent per maintenance. Gil can be sent, but the 300k gil limit still applies, any extra that you claim will be deleted. You can trade a wristlet for an eternal bond, but it cannot be equipped, so marriage is not possible. Weddings can be attended as a guest if you receive an invitation. Some things will still be restricted during this time, such as Lodestone permissions, Online Store gifting, Fellowship ownership, among other things. ]
