Idea: Queue up multiple retainer ventures.

Each venture takes an hour, but if you're not around to refresh it, you lose the opportunity to get more stuff.

So, how about letting us queue our retainers for more than one venture, but with a cost. Each extra one costs +1 venture coin..
So, if you give you retainer 6 missions, it will cost you 6 coins..

Of course, the missions would be run one at a time, so a set of 6 would take 6 hours.

Maybe if each one took a recursive venture coin! So you could do 2 for one quick venture, then +1 on top of the 2 for another, +2 on top plus 2 for another...

So it'd be 2 for 1, 5 for 2, 9 for 3, 14 for 4, 20 for 5, 27 for 6, 35 for 7, and 44 for 8 which is probably where it should cap out honestly. It'd be a nice dump for the thousands of venture coins that everyone has!

I'd like this very much. Maybe a maximum of 5-6 at a time. Though considering the Exploration ventures, maybe 12.

Would be super handy as a crafter and material farming.

I'd accept that as well, even though I don't have thousands of coins. I just ran out a few days ago and had to turn in what old gear I had to get enough currency to buy more.

I'd love if we could somehow fund our retainers in advance either through this or some kind of method where I can put my venture tokens somewhere and they just take them automatically. This is mostly out of a gripe where right now we can't send retainers on ventures when visiting other worlds, which is kind of an unintentionally anti-social system limitation right now. Hope they improve that someday but in the interim the ability to queue them up somehow would be great.

I had to get my retainers to do something *other* than quick ventures, so I could recoup some coins :sweat: haha

But honestly, this would be a great idea! I'm not sure how the items would be handled if you queued for different things. That is, let's say you wanted your Botanist retainer to collect some Tiger Lilly and Lignum Vitae Lumber; would those items all be held by the retainer until you came to collect? I can't confirm this, but I feel like there's an unspoken limit to how many unique items you can receive at a time. In any trade transaction and in the mail, you can only receive 5 unique items. I feel like it'd be easier to implement multiple queuing of the *same* item as that would just be a matter of increasing the quantity of nq/hq material gathered, resulting in a max of 2 unique items. Again, I'm definitely not sure that this 5 unique item limit is a thing, so take what I just said with a grain of salt :P

Also, let's say you sent your retainer to do 4 quick bounties. Could you stop him/her after the second (so that they can do something else)? Or would you just have to wait until all 4 quick bounties are done?

Really awesome concept, though! 10/10
