Possible to change free retainer slot with a paid one?

[tyybbi997]

Hi,

I don't know if it's asked before, but I would like to know if it's possible to change my free retainer slot with a paid retainer? I ask this mainly because I would like to assign a new class for venture without need to resetting the one I've been progressing so far.

The new venture class would be bit more useful to me than the one I have at the moment on my first slot retainer and therefore I would like to change my current retainer to paid slot and make a new one in free slot.

I know that releasing a retainer frees the slot so if you have paid one in 3rd slot that becomes 2nd etc. But I'd like to know if it's possible to swap the slot without actually deleting one retainer?

Lets' hope you caught something I was trying to ask about.

Not quite sure I understand the merit of what you're asking. Given you're paying for one retainer it's not going to convert to free with the deletion of one of your free retainers. All that'd do is free up a free retainer slot. Sadly, your only choice is to reset your retainer's class. But it should still have access to the explorations so leveling will be quick and getting ventures is... well, you've got that covered I'm sure.

You could pay the new retainer, transfer all items from one of your old retainer to the new retainer, delete the old retainer and create the retainer again.

I don't know if there is also a way without deleting one of the free retainers.

Yeah I suppose so there's no way around this without actually deleting a retainer first. I would love the ability to choose on which retainers we want to pay and which ones goes to free slots. Dunno if there would be some abuses if it worked that way, though...

The crux of the issue is that you're being charged for the extra retainers on a monthly basis, as such the only way for them to stop being pay retainers is for you to cancel their service. Deleting a free retainer isn't going to end a pay retainer's service.

Hmm... I'm pretty sure if I read this information right so by deleting one of your free retainers moves paid retainer to the opened free slot.

Though it would be still sweet if we could move them without deleting old ones. :/
