Venturing with retainers and chocobos

[Khalithar]

Given that they also come back with gear and all sorts of housing items, I've imagined that they just stalk other adventurers and opportunistically raid corpses. Retainers have no shame!

I dunno, I've never closely examined what the rest of those items are made out of. Presumably the retainer makes them using the rest of the corpse!
