Retainer Spiritbonding

[HakuroDK]

Does your gear gain spirit bond when you pick up a level 3 Merlthor Goby?


....Thought so.

Doesn't gain spiritbond if it gives me a Malicious Mogaxe, Vanya Robe of Healing, or an Astrolabe either. Or if I send it out for an 18h XV venture. Figure that one out.

Just go out there and spirit bond. Stop find out ways to make this game lazy/easy mode . It only take 30 minutes to spirit bond a full set of gear (right/left side) at your favorite level 49+ area.

It opens avenues for players to have a distinct advantage in terms of money making depending on how much they pay to play the game.

I can't agree with this suggestion.

People using retainers to spirit bond = more materia in the market = lower prices. I'm not seeing much of an advantage.

Would be nice since it would give me a reason to craft stuff without having to set time aside to grind mobs just to spirit bond when I could be doing other things. Like run dungeons and PvP.

Compromise: Default Retainers are the only ones who can spiritbind. Extra retainers can't. So once a player gets their first two retainers, they can spiritbind. They can be, like "A-Class Retainers" while the extras earned through paying extra on subs are "B-Class Retainers" and have fewer options available.

I'm just sick of swapping out gear that has, like, 70% spiritbind that I will never use again and missing out on the potential materia.

Then finish spiritbinding?

To be fair, my gear doesn't SB when doing 2 star crafts or doing ilvl75 content either. Let alone SB Ilvl 70+ gear by doing enough grinds to bring back 5 pieces of raptor skin.
