Why are we getting more retainers?

[Zumi]

additional retainer service

Sounds like something you have to pay for doesn't it?

[Felis]

You mean like not having the decency to link to a source in the OP?

I don't even see a reason to have more retainers. They only need to make the armoire actually do its job consistently and not a month or 2 later.

Maybe you should craft more to see a reason for a third retainer. Try culinarian for the start.

Neat. Now I can have an Elezan retainer for Ul'dah.

Personally, I can't agree with the complaint of another retainer. I'd actually welcome one. For as much organizing as I've done with my first two, having materials on hand to be able to hastily craft things I (or friends) need, I could definitely use another retainer.

I've put everything I could into my armoire, sorted out my Armory chest to the max, as well as dedicated one slot of both of my retainers to different things as to be able to find the materials I need quickly. At this point I have only a few slots left on both, in their respective categories (Clothcraft items, Food items, Woodstuffs, Leathers and sinews, etc), and I definitely could use that extra retainer...

My biggest dilemma? What shall I name her... Hm...

I'll get right on that.

Needing to manage your inventory slightly isn't a bad thing.

It was before it got pulled in 1.0.

Let the undercutting continue!

If anything crafter's like less retainers, more just increase flooding. Its like each day SE ask how they can devalue the market. I'm waiting for chest you get for completing dailies and they have 10 HQ of each 1 star mat

Meanwhile, the hardcore crafters welcome it. Most that I know have leveled alts so that they can sell more items.

I just wanted to stop in and inject some conspiracy theory to the thread.

Remember before 2.0 the new year graphic that showed Yoshi being chased by a baby chocobo, baby behemoth and a bomb? Hmm, those turned out to be minions! Neat, a little spoiler for us.

Hmm, what was this year's picture?

Anyone notice the fat chocobo in that picture.....

^^

I seem to remember a thread quite a while ago suggesting that they add fat chocobo for storage purposes....

*skips out of the thread humming happily*

I've been struggling to have space for everything. Desperately want another retainer or make the existing ones bigger.

One retainer is for ingredients and consumables and the other is for equipment. Constantly having to go back and toss stuff to make room.
