Good evening, I'm having a problem getting a retainer. I completed my level 17 quest that took me to Waking Sands. I received the active help popup about retainers and hiring retainers, as well as where I needed to go to hire one.

When I speak to all three of the vocates in the main cities, they tell me that I can currently have 0 retainers and won't allow me to hire one.

The summoning bell tells me that I don't have one employed.

I've exhausted everything I could find online and in the forums to try and figure things out. I recently did a server transfer, I don't know if that's messing things up, or if I'm just flat out missing something somewhere simple, but it's irking me.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
