Retainers...?

Hi

I started playing this game 2 days ago and I think it's pretty sweet! One thing that I don't get is the retainer system... I think it's really really bad or I just dont know how to use it.

I'm tryind to sell stuff but my items that I gave to my retainer, set it up in his bazaar and put him in the wards still hasn't showed up on the search counter. I have no clue what to do or how to do it cause there's no explanation.

Anyone know what I'm supposed to do to make my items show up when people use the search counter?

You shouldn't have to do anything special for other players to see your items in the Item Search. It will show the retainers with the lowest prices, but it may not update immediately.

Waited all night, logged on today and my items still doesnt show. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong.
I put the items in retainers inventory, set a price in his bazaar then summon him to a market ward.

Oh I think the order is important

1) Summon retainer to the market ward
2) Add item to retainer's inventory (Exchange Items)
3) Manage Bazzar on retainer and add the item to the list of items the retainer can sell, and set the price
4) Close the menus. The retainer should still be standing next to you.
5) Leave the wards, then check item counter. It should appear within a short period of time (minutes or so?)

Note: If you summon a retainer AFTER you set items in its bazzar it will remove them from the bazzar (I think.. I remember seeing a message that says this will happen).


If you need to manage your retainer some more, go visit him in the ward that you set him up in, and deal with him there directly.

Thanks!

That cleared up a few things.

No, this is not true. Once an item is set in a bazaar (either your own or a retainer's) it remains there until it is sold or is explicitly removed. You can summon your retainer all over the place and it will not change his bazaar. Of course, if you summon him away from the wards, he won't be in the wards to sell the stuff, but his bazaar will remain laid out, and will be available to other players again the next time you set him in a ward.

This is the important and silly part, you'd think if you summon your retainer, exchange some items and dismiss them, they'd go back to the wards if they have something to sell... apparently the retainers are lazy :P

I'm guessing there are rules about how items can be moved and viewed in the server application that prevent this from happening.

Most likely, it's just amazing how unsuited the current engine is, and I wonder what the old team was thinking.

Oooh, maybe that's what the message meant..She can not sell things while summoned.. But everything okey when goes back... I must of mis-understood the message. And I was afraid to try as its so tedious to re-stock the bazaar (with a variety of items at different prices).

THank you for clarification!
