It sucks if you don't have a spot reserved :/ luckily i grabbed one after this last maintenance.

When do retainers get kicked out of the wards ? I didn't see any reset after maintenance.

I logged on pry 10 min after maintenance and found a spot no problem :/

I said this in another post but I'll let the secret slide once again.

Use the stalls luke, use the stalls.

You mean the stalls in the market wards id assume? and if that's the case i hate to burst your bubble but they are just as scarce as the wide open spots. Right now getting a spot in the market wards are all about lucky timing... that's just bad design.

Guess the cats out of the bag on your server then I never have a issue finding a empty stall (Even in the most popular wards) on Aegis.

Just gotta get lucky with the next maintenance and set your retainers up with a max price item. That way they never get kicked out.

I am having the very same problem. I can't put my retainer in the correct ward, or the related wards. Namely Grocery, Fieldcraft, and Tradescraft. It's the server merge that caused this problem, since my server now must be having 3 times population from original. LOL. I temporarily solved the problem by using the stall. Coming back to renew the lease every 24 hours would be annoying, but at least it's better than having no spot :(

Is this for Ul'Dah only, or the same problem in all three cities?

Having the same problem.

When you are selling 10 stacks of electrum those taxes fuggin' matter!

Kinda miss the AH.

SE limitations.

2.0

This is my only issue with the market wards, and will only become bigger as more people play the game. It was a decent concept but the limitations make it only viable within a certain small scope. It's made worse by the fact that the wards aren't linked, though that would only be a temporary fix at best. As much as I hate to say it, the wards are a doomed system. The only way they could keep wards as they are without this issue would be to remove the designations on what things go in what wards, add more wards and link all of the city's wards together. There would still be a cap on how many retainers could be present but it would be much higher. And of course despite removing the labels on the wards, keep the search system as is or better.

This is limited to Ul'dah.

The catch is if you move your stuff to Limsa or Gridania, you lose out on thousands of customers because nobody uses those MWs.

And yet I've started checking those wards from time to time, not a lot worth noting in them.

I have abandoned the city of the dead... er Uldah on Gungnir and something wacky is happening. Others are following suit. The wards in limsa are starting to fill and move gill as others run screaming from Uldah as well.

once people start using them there will be

ive slowly been cheking them as i happen to be in other cities, there are some items of note there even cheaper then in uldah, but if no one checks, then you wont know that

and if people are too stubborn to even try to use them(wolfie) then you wont sell anything at all ever

Just go find a retainer selling cheap ore or something. Buy them all so that the retainer has nothing in bazaar and it gets booted then summon yours.

Yeah, I've been seeing a few more things pop up but not enough yet. I mean people are basically being forced to leave Ul'dah in order to use the wards so we should encourage that trend.

move to Ragnarok, we have space ^^

Correction, There is literally no room for your retainer in Ul'dah, where you would prefer to be. However, the other two cities do still exist regardless what people tell you and your retainer will fit just fine there. Quit being a little whinny B because you didn't get into Ul'dah's and take your spot in the back of the line.

Well, that's exactly the problem. It's a network effect. Nobody sells in LL or Grid because nobody buys there. Nobody buys in LL or Grid because nobody sells there.

Empty retainers are not booted except when the owner finishes a session with one empty. So the empty retainer will stay there, the owner will come by and put more cheap ore for bazaar during his session, and the retainer never goes away.

Yep, I'm looking at 8 empty retainers (selling wise)...clearing out inactive and empty retainers was the purpose of the wards resetting which people complained about.

I'm on Balmung, and I have no problems putting my goods up in any ward I want.

But that's because I'm one of those people who sets up her shop in Gridania, rather than That Other Massively Overpopulated Place.

Oh damn that blows. I never tried it but I was assuming that would work lol

Just set up a retainer with a real expensive item noone will buy so it will never depop! Had mine sitting there for 3 months now.

That would be all fine and good but that doesn't fix the problem of all the wards being full so we can't set one up in the first place.

I know, and totally agree that it sucks. It's my personal solution though.

I think......

I will set up one of my retainers in Limsa Lominsa... It will specialize in selling items that are gathered locally. It also can sell items that are of low (or middle) level, since I THINK there is a tax reduction for those items?

Since I am not in a hurry, it can take time, and contribute to building up a market community in Limsa Lominsa.

(Why Limsa Lominsa? Because that is my home city (it reminds me of San D'oria) and where I spend a lot of my time besides Ul'Dah).

This is a big part of the reason why the wards are overpopulated to begin with, and the reason why I think that stall rental should be mandatory if you want to set your retainer up in a ward.
