NPCs have primal weapons now?

When can I recruit her?

[Kallera]

All those trade ins at the gc counter, and you didn't think they'd get around?

[LineageRazor]

That NPC probably had a retainer find it for her. They seem to be pretty talented at slaughtering primals!

[EdwinLi]

Some NPCs(or should I say Adventurers) are meant to represent other random adventurers that joined you in those Trials and Dungeons.

It is why in Steps of Faith Arc of 2.55 the cutscenes showed NPCs rather than the players that joined you in the Step of Faith trial.

It is their way of explaining how random adventurers join together to face trials and dungeons.

Eh... my retainers are good at dismantling houses. Haha

I think it's more like the retainers run around Eorzea picking up the things that the players drop out of their inventories. Like when I send my Botanist retainer out to get wood or plants and she comes home with a couch. "I saw this on the side of the road and I thought of you. You're welcome!"

Could you imagine waking up one day to find things in your house missing? Like the couch or the floor. Maybe the roof. I don't know why the Alliance is having so much trouble with the Empire. They could just send out an army of retainers and they would loot the Garleans naked overnight.

My retainer made fun of me, she is a Miqote and brought me back a step stool
