I posted in the bug forum but thinking now after further investigation this may not be a bug. I have a miner/gatherer and a conjurer retainer. The miner is fine hes been levelling up OK, but the conjurer stopped at lvl 8. When I checked the character page it said "max level 8" up in the right corner, where miner says 50. Thing is my main conjurer class is level 13 or 14. I understand we couldn't choose a class we haven't begun. But I chose conjurer because I thought it would help me level that main class, by way of maybe odd gear drops or something. Anyway why 8?

I have not been able to find any information either here or googled as to this max level and its mechanics, can anyone provide any info? Why have all the battle classes represented if they cant help your main character with that class? I understand you can gear them with hand-me-downs but then what is the point of having all the classes covered and not just a generic battler that can wear any dow/dom.
