    So let's talk about Retainers...

    This is just for fun but I was wondering if other people did fun cosplay/glams with their retainers.

    It is, after all, the only free way to have fun with the character creator (beyond making actual new characters) and I've seen a few people do some very clever things with their outdoor retainers.

    I'm at work, so I can't post pics but on my Main, my retainers are all NPCs from various story/job quests. Right now I have Magnai and Ghost Edda (farming for that Pilgrim set was super annoying :P). In the past I've had Silviarre (from brd quest), Waldeve (from HW BLM quest) and Sidurgu from the DRK quest.

    On my alt, my retainers are characters from Aladdin. Mozenrath, (young) Jafar and Aladdin himself.

    Just curious if anyone did anything fun or themed with their retainers. (Perhaps someday we'll get hairsyle access, hat toggle, and the ability to post our retainers inside our housing). Discuss!

    I did nothing with mine. It's enough work just to level and gear the two I have, let alone try for some appearance no one will see (including myself.)

    You can place a retainer outside on the lawn of a house if you own one. People including yourself would see it them.

    Mine are perpetually minding the BBQ in my front yard. I change up which one, periodically, and usually glam them in seasonal or event/holiday gear when I switch out my housing decorations.

    I didn't follow any theme with the character creator but I think my Midlander might have been hinting at something when she brought back a retainer fantasia from her quick venture.

    Yup, I have 3 retainers.
    I tried to make 2 look like Estinien and G'raha Tia.
    The 3rd retainer looks like Thancred and was purely made so that my large could have 3 husbandos on the front yard.

    Mine are all dressed as maids (headcanon wise, they are Enki's maids - one I even specifically created to resemble the hyur 'estate chambermaid' vendor furnishing we have in our FC house).

    They're very lazy though and spend most of their time just lying around drinking while they wait for their 'mistress' to summon them, yet Enki can't punish or fire them, as she is just far too kind a master for her own good.

    I'm not as kind, and have been known to fire underperforming retainers. I know it's rng, but this is a RP thread and as a retainer employer, I can't sustain my business by coddling the sorry tears of my employees. I'm south parks version of Mickey mouse up in there. "Go out there make and me some %#@$ money!
