    Given how fast, cheap and easy it is to travel in the game, I don't see SE spending time developing something like this. Anyone can get to a retainer bell in literally seconds. If it took a long time or was very costly then your suggestion might have some weight. But this isn't the case.

    I wouldn't say no to having this feature. I just don't think SE would develop something they would see as mostly unnecessary.

    Also it goes against what little lore we have about linkpearls. They're only for audio communication as far as we're aware. Currently you need to take the collected items from your retainers before you can send them on another venture, which goes beyond what we know of linkpearl technology. But SE could just call it something else if they brought it in.

    They would need to make it so the items from the venture are stored in your retainers inventory instead of your inventory, as stated above. Although that does bring up the problem of paying the retainer a Venture I guess >< If they wanted to add more summoning bells to all the areas not just in the main towns like Kugane or Doman Enclave then the Linkpearl wouldn't be needed. Maybe that's a better alternative. More Summoning bells.

    Revenant's Toll shares its instance with the zone of Mor Dhona and it has a retainer bell, so I don't see why any other settlements cannot have them as well. I'd understand not having them in small areas like Swiftperch, but places as large as Aleport could have one.
