Blue Crab not an option to send Fisher Retainer out for.

I have a level 80 fishing retainer with very good gear, I have caught the blue crab using similar gear. Normally when you send your retainer out to catch a fish, you get a list, when you pick something it tells you how many it will bring back, it will tell you it can't go out to catch this fish if you haven't gotten it and it will tell you if it's grear is not high enough. In the case of the blue crab, it is not even listed. Special fish are listed from timed nodes, there is no reason for the blue crab to not have been included, I believe it was a mistake. In the meantime, the game relies on bots to bring in all the blue crab like it does the majority of stuff on the marketplace. The fisher is the worst retainer by far for bringing back items to make money etc, it only offers a small convenience.

Most currently added materials or ingredients can't be gathered by retainers. This also applies for MIN and BOT retainer, you have to go out and get it yourself.

There are LOTS of different fishes that a fisher retainer can't catch for you. Like half of all the things that you yourself can fish up from the sea/rivers.
