I'm sure that works in most cases. I half wonder if my friend's problem might have been related to connection issues (he was using a mobile hotspot that wasn't exactly reliable at the time).

I'll admit I had been a skeptic myself when it came to others claiming that entering their house didn't reset the timer. It took that incident with my friend to make me see that it truly does happen. Since then I've always encouraged others to make a habit of interacting with an object in their house just to be on the safe side.

I mean how difficult could it be?
You must need a repair after finished duty, why not just port back to your house and repair.
Crafters don't need a Mender. Self repair is more convenient, cheaper and lasts longer. I haven't used a Mender on this character since Heavensward so have no need for one in my house.

To me a Summoning Bell makes the most sense between retainer ventures for easy gil and inventory management. Those are useful to every player.
