Can we get Jump Potions for our Retainers?

[ErryK]

Different roles bring you different items. To be able to just switch a retainer from lv 70 DoM/DOW to lv 70 Miner or from lv 70 Miner to lv 70 Botanist would be a bit OP.

OP in what sense? You'd still need to get said jobs to 70 yourself.

I wouldve been happy if I couldve changed jobs and it resets to 50... not all the way back to 1. My Vinja is working the process now to become a SAM that he always was.

This is what is should be...you should be able to change the DoW/M retainers to any other DoW/M (that you have leveled yourself, obviously) and it should reset back to ~50 at a steep cost (say, 100-200 ventures for a book)

But it shouldn't be a problem to switch a lv 70 MNK to lv 70 AST, because all DoM/DoW retainers have the same items they can collect.

OP how? How does not having to level your Retainer from level 1 repeatedly give you an unfair advantage over another player?

[Niwashi]

Would be nice if they had their own classes and switch jobs, then again they aren't warriors of light so kind of contradicts the story line.

The lore doesn't limit class switching to the WoL. For instance, although Wood Wailers are lancers, they all have to learn at least basic conjury as well. (It's pointed out in a CRP leve where we provide a CNJ staff for them.) And when we first unlock the ability to join other class guilds from our starting class's level 10 quest, we're not anything all that special yet, just a fresh adventurer who's attained a very basic level of proficiency. Our trainer suggests branching out at that point, though they don't recognize us as the WoL yet.

I'd be open to a potion ONLY if it let you change jobs with in the same role. If you want to change the role you must re LV all over again.

DoL /DoM DPS /DoM Healer / DoW Tanks / DoW Malee DPS / DoW Caster DPS

Retainers don't have those roles. They have four available roles: Mining, Botany, Fishing, and Hunting, with all DoW/DoM jobs falling under the "hunting" role. So allowing changes within the same role should mean allowing changes between any combat classes/jobs, but not between DoL.

OP how? How does not having to level your Retainer from level 1 repeatedly give you an unfair advantage over another player?

If you're including DoL, then it would be OP because he could basically be all four retainer roles in one, going for hides one hour and ores the next, or whatever. But I don't think an option that only skips re-leveling if you're going from one combat job to another combat job would be too OP.

Who don't have 1 battle job and 2/3 of the DoL classes at max or near max?

[ereskigal]

This would be cool but I think the dev could use some of these ideas and learn from them, I personally wouldn't mind the potion so long as its a in game item you buy from a NPC only with a decent price that can make it a Gil sink maybe 2-5mil per potion. SE has gone a little overboard with the cash shop let's not give them something simple like this to add to it.

That's irrelevant when you've already got the ability to do the stuff yourself.

Thats the requirement to level up retainers.

Switching your retainer between various combat classes should have little or no penalty in the first place, since they're completely interchangeable. A penalty to switch between botany, mining, fishing, and combat is understandable.
