I'm a new level 52 bard. I had a retainer from an early level that I used for just storing stuff but recently when I got into crafting, I decided to make my retainer a gatherer. So in doing so, did I lose any levels that retainer had as I leveled up my bard? I read today that I was supposed to make my first retainer a DoW retainer. So if I have made the retainer a botany gatherer, have I now lost the opportunity to switch her back and make her a DoW? Do now what happens? The DoW retainer has to level herself up? Thanks in advance.
