However, we do not have any plans of linking the inventory slot numbers to their levels, so leveling them up will not yield a greater amount of inventory space.
Ey, I thought that would have been nice as a level bonus for retainers... Could have made it so we didn't need that free retainer. Extra bazaar slots would be a nice level bonus too.

Based on the feedback we collected in the past, the dev. team is looking to implement different features for your retainer as they level up. For example, we are looking into allowing retainers to perform chores, such as gathering.

As soon as we receive detailed information on leveling up your friendly caretakers and the tasks that they will be able to perform at certain levels, we will be sure to let you know!
As long as they dont work for cake....

And as others said, chore is such a bad word to put on something like gathering. I like gathering too and dont consider it a chore.
