Oh. My fishing retainer does. I got both my Fat Cat and Ghestal minions from him. That's still just one retainer, and gatherers are the easiest to gear up since you only have three or four pieces of gear that matter for them, (barring melding gathering materia on gear). My other two retainers, (I pay for one extra purely to allow for easier organization of gear), are combat classes though, which are a giant pain to get geared up without spending ESO/LAW to do so simply because RNG is random. Finally got my level 60 one to i170 tonight so I can send her out on Exploration ventures, but my other retainer is only about level 30 so he won't be bringing back anything of value outside of luck with Quick Exploration....
