Eorzea's new threat - Retainers dismantling homes

Ever since my retainer hit Rank 50 she's curiously been bringing back parts of homes from different areas of the land. Oasis Cottage roof parts, Riviera Mansion walls, Glade Lancet windows...various pieces of furniture....even once a Tonberry Armchair. My fear is that there is some collective group of retainers taking our valuable Ventures and stealing pieces of houses instead of finding shiny rare treasures. We then sell them to poor unsuspecting adventurers who then undoubtedly find their stuff stolen again.

My retainer used to just bring back a trash fish and say "Good enough" while holding out her hand for more Ventures, but this is getting out of hand. One day you're going to wake up to find a house in Mist stripped to the foundation by these no good retainers.

And I thought the mortgage crisis was bad! Please Be Careful when letting your retainers out on the streets folks!

Is your a retainer a lala? They are known to do that.

She's a Hyur, and with a very bad attitude as well.

How do the Lalas get on the roof?? ;)

Two of my Lalas retainers often bring back with them many roofs....

I guess the official answer on this was that there was a junkyard or something that they basically take these from. Given the housing issues, I'd say someone went and made way too many roofs than there were plots, but eh, your guess is as good as mine.

It's actually a storehouse, but then you have to wonder, what kind of storehouse has things like White Raven Armor Fragments or Primal Weapons laying around in it?

Rowena's?

Or the Grand Company warehouses, considering a bunch of the stuff can be turned in for seals.

My retainers always steals roofs, doors, and windows. Sometimes they mug an adventurer and get me Allagan Silk and Allagan Leather.

The real reason we don't have THF is because it's a retainer-only class.

I once asked my retainer where he got something. He refused to answer. When I asked why he wouldn't tell me, he promptly replied, "Plausible deniability."

I wouldn't be surprised if Rowena is behind it, she's like the illuminati (the non Goblin one) of FFXIV.

What's funny is that one of the community reps said they'd like you to come up with your own story for how these retainers get their stuff, and that's kinda what's going on here.

Well my retainer always bring fish and pie dough lol. But the jackpot is quite nice like Allagan Leather and Allagan Silk.

Mine always bring back dead fishes... :(

When my level 20 Lala archer came back with roof tiles I concluded; She used Duty Finder, queued up for some weird Eorzean Home Depot Dungeon and got the drops off of a wave of illegal Ala Mhigans in the Parking Lot.

Allagan leather and allagan silk, are you telling me my retainer is single-handedly beating twintania.

Why not? Mine beats primals all the time.

Rather than lose a housing plot after 30 days of inactivity, it should slowly be pillaged by other players' retainers until none is left.

Tsk, single handed Twin is underrated... A while ago, a retainer brought back White Raven Armour Piece back, from T9.. YES, ONE SINGLE HANDED handled Nael Van Gaius, and that was when not even one party had beaten him yet....:confused::confused:.. How did he did it...is a mystery remained unsolved till now..

Well, your retainers are obviously lousy pet keepers :p And then leave you to deal with the aftermath.

Single-handedly? No, I'm quite certain they queued up with seven of their retainer friends =D

Well, either that, or they came across an unsuspecting adventurer taking a dirt nap in the sun...

My i70 arcanist brought me a Barb of the Whorl from Levi Ex yesterday. I bet any money the crafty sod bought a carry after me shouting at him for bringing the 1millionth Vongola Clam -_-

My sexy Highlander retainer, Armando, kept bringing me fish. Fish after fish. He just wouldn't stop. Then one day he brought me a Retainer Fantasia potion, so I figured he was trying to tell me something. So I used the potion and now he's a cat girl. She still brings me fish.

That's how they get rid of old unused houses.
