Retainer Reference System to replace the Market Wards.

+1 i approve of this idea =D

Hmm sounds like a bizarro AH, but hey it works.

In the diary post, it looks as though you can only sell from a retainer bell. And then if you wished to purchase, it would then be necessary to move to the wards again to purchase.

This is not how I intended to make it appear; within the single Market Ward, there should be a retainer bell available, or it should be possible to summon your own retainer via the NPC just as you are able to summon other players' retainers.

Edit: But at the same time, if all you wished to accomplish was to sell, you would then have the option of simply visiting any retainer bell, dumping your items and dismissing your retainer. And your items would then be available saving the hassle of having to travel to the market yourself.

Also, if SE adds the ability for retainers to make automatic transactions, you may not even need to go to the market ward at all, as they would handle everything. Thus it may, in the future, be possible to have buying/selling/delivery all handled automatically via a single terminal.

I cannot think of a better system with greater convenience.
