Retainer Level System
A lot of people would love a way to access a retainer en-route somewhere, or to bring up the market board from their retainer / etc. So I suggest adding a rank / level system to the retainers. Now, some people may think, "Well, how will you rank / level it?" That's a big issue. You would level, primarily at first, by selling things on the market board. However, instead of basing EXP based on how much you sell the item for. Base it on the quantity, and quality, rather than the price. This way, you won't be able to gain exp by just selling at like, 1 Gil. Furthermore, here's what ranks I'd like to see:
  • Rank 1 - Standard
  • Rank 2 - Able to do "Buy Requests" (Automatic buying of certain items. IE: Materials. Have to already have one of the item to provide so the retainer knows what you're looking for.)
  • Rank 3 - Able to get EXP from "Buy Requests" and not just Selling items.
  • Rank 4 - Able to summon via a skill in the wilderness. (You are given "Vulnerability Up" when summoning the retainer, and cannot be esuna'd, etc.) (Cannot store items from mobile version.)
  • Rank 5 - Able to view the market board from the wilderness via the retainer.
  • Rank 6 - Able to store items from mobile version of retainer.

Just wondering what you all think of this proposition.
