What classes are your retainers?

[Jojoya]

Different players make different choices based on their own priorities. I do prefer the combat retainers, though.

And starting over leveling a job is not that big of a deal. It takes maybe 6-8 weeks? They’ll be max level for years after that.

It can take longer than that, depending on how much you play. I decided to switch one of my alt's FSH retainers to BTN about 2 months in advance of the expansion. Her retainers have just hit 70 but then I don't always log onto the character daily. Once you hit 60, you stop getting a level almost every 18 hour venture and start needing 3-4 to level.

Even with my main character, retainers that started at 90 have just hit 99 despite using a mix of hour ventures when I'm online then an 18 hour when I'm going to log out. If I had used quick ventures instead of hunting/botany/mining/Fishing one hour ventures they probably would be 100 now but I wanted the materials to supplement what I was getting through my gathering/gemstones.
