in addition, it is unjustified to leave the player with one 2 free retainers, when it would make a lot more sense if the game at least let us have 3: one fore hunting with any job, and the other two for either gathering method.
I do not think they make you pay for them because of ventures... Now come to think of it WHY DO WE NEED to pay extra for a shortcoming in the game? really like a representative to respond to a thread that is i doono 180+ likes and 737 posts long?
