Level to Access Retainers

[KuroMiso]

Yeah I couldn't use a retainer at all until i completed part of the main story quest line at 20. New players can buy from the Market board, but can't do anything else. The retainer NPC just turns you away if you try to hire one before then. It's kind of a pain to run out of space while leveling, but I guess it helps limit RMT in the long run.

How upsetting.

After going broke trying to complete my crafting journal, I strolled for almost an hour talking to all sorts of NPCs and fruitless global questions on how to market the items I was making. Thanks for posting this though and just ripping off the band-aid. I could feel the frustration of not knowing slowly overtaking my urge to continue crafting.
