My retainer found something interesting...

[Skyhound]

On Reddit, people have actually gotten the furniture item from T9. I don't want to post the name of it because spoilers, but he's not the only one. I'm starting to think all these crazy drops are a glitch. Would be nice for SE to let us know because Retainers are getting world firsts lmao

That could be cool, if your retainer brought back a primal, it would spawn in the middle of town, and start all table-flipping/mountain bustering everyone around him. That'd be really awesome, but it would have to have like a 2 min timer. Either that or everyone would have to gang up on him and kill him off. This would be even more interesting in limsa city. He could landslide people off into the water, killing you. lol

Not so much if everyone's retainer brings back a Titan at one time. TT_TT

We were talking about this last night. I imagine the scenario goes like this:

ME: Come forth retainers and harken to me. Ye shall go forth into the world, explore the fields, and bring tale and trinkets from your adventures. Worry not about your preservation as I shall clad ye with the highest armor [that I don't happen to be wearing] and arm you with the sharpest blades. The peasantry shall be in awe of how you wear the Bauer Ice Skate helm of lighted dark. Godspeed in your venture and may the 12 guide the way!

RETAINER: yeah, screw that. I'm going to go hang out in Costa de Sol. There's a few houses I can break into on the way back. Most of them don't even lock their doors. Worst case scenario, I rip some flowers from the garden. No biggie. I've got 15 hours to kill.

just got some type of lalafel size pedastool or something.

It is totally "random" what the retainers being back. Even says so when you're first given the description of quick exploration.

If any Free Company is missing a wall and roof on Excalibur, I apologize for the actions of my retainers. They are working as a team to steal someone's house. So far, they've brought me a wall, roof, map, ink quill, some strange patio furntiure, and a bench.

One of the first things my miner brought me was a crafted ilvl 70 pair of heavy darksteel gloves. I don't think anyone's lying when they say they've gotten a primal weapon.

My friend has a retainer that only brings him fish (she is not a fisher). Wonder if that's a bug or if his retainer just hates him.

I would like to see a picture of this. Someone draw a pic of retainers randomly running around mindlessly picking up anything and everything and then bringing it back.

I've been waiting for the folks over xivnomnom to make a comic regard all these crazy retainer ventures. (So far, the most interesting thing my retainer brought back was a Ahriman Vase)

There's going be a !@#$ storm, if a retainer brings back a unidentified tomestone, or sands of time. Not only is the hardcores going to P@#$ all over the place about it, but the people upset about P2W are going to have a field day with it.

[Kinseykinz]

uhhh....so this happened:



So turns out, our retainers must be meeting to slay Odin too in their free time...
