Eureka needs Retainer bells

I'd love to be able to do eureka more but having to go out to pick up my armour/weapons from the retainers is pretty annoying to do.

can we just have retainers in the duty?

There are a few things that should be addressed imo, but retainer bells are not one of them.

I thought about this too, but it probably isn't feasible within the system. Remember that you are inside an instance, it likely can't pull up the data for your retainer inventory without causing mass problems.

And no, that's not bad design, its resource efficient and under the assumption that retainer bells would never be used anywhere except the overworld (when they were implemented back in 2.1)

It can't even pull up the Chocobo Saddlebag, can't expect retainers any time soon...

I know of them but i'd like chocobo saddlebags or retainers available to ease it

Just retrieve your one piece of antiquated gear before going in. You need an obscene amount of crystals anyway; you're not going to be upgrading your entire outfit in one sitting.

Maybe they can do that when they scrap it all and rebuild it again from the ground up for the 4th time.

Honestly this was my first thought when I got in the zone... But there are other things that do need to be addressed first.

I think that making eureka instanced was the wrong idea to begin with, but probably it's the only way for them to handle a cross server zone without their servers exploding (which frankly they should update because too many things is beign closed off because of the system so ye come on)

Basically.

If they were going to create an open world map for it, you wouldn't have the cross-server features. They would even need to separate the map in instances, like they did at the begining of HW, SB and for Ixion in particular. The map would explode otherwise. But it also creates a lot of issues for pre-formed parties, landing in different instances and whatnot. Being instanced, it would block you from using the saddle bag and the retainers, so I don't think it's possible to have them.
