Retainer Venture?

Since WE don't go out mining/fishing/or foraging on our combat classes, why would you expect a retainer would? You'll need to have the gathering professions in order for the retainers to gather anything.

Combat classes will gather things dropped from animals and creatures like skins, hides, horns etc... I'm assuming. They're not going to help you fight so I can't think of any other reason to make them combat classes. I sent my two retainers out today, one as a botanist and the other a miner, on two 18 hr expeditions after equipping both with level 1 gear. I've reached 50 in both so it'll be interesting to see what they come back with tomorrow. There are rare items that you can only get from ventures so hopefully I'll get lucky.
