A majority of gil is made through leves as well as players NPCing gear that just isn't worth the time to sell or they skilled up on.

The idea is what if it was possible to "equip" a set of gear to a retainer and while they were not in a market ward they could build a spiritbond with it. While the MW unity is coming with this next update I just think this would be a neat idea to get more use out of gear rather then create more gil in the market.

Basic idea is lv 1-30 could take 4hrs to bond, 31-40 8 hrs and 41-50 16hrs to bond with, basically when the retainer remains out of the market ward for x amount of time when you call them their bond will be based on how long they've been out of the ward for.

The general idea is that those who may not use the MW to sell items can use their retainers to obtain a decent amount of materia on a daily basis and give more responsibilities for retainers lol.
