    Retainer Access At Camps

    I have had this discussion with a few people and I think it would be great to have access to retainers at each camp.This would help keep things flowing a little easier seeing how easy it is to fill up your inventory, forget an item or not being able to bring something because of space.Obviously it would be limited functions such as deposit and withdrawal but the towns already have the little bells you can ring to pull them up why not include on at each camp.

    It is very frustrating when you need a mat to fix something or you forget something the amount of time and effort if you are further out to go all the way back isn't practical at all.Just an idea dunno how everyone feels about this.

    I'm not sure about having retainers at camp, it is already so easy to just teleport to town and then use return (4 anima, not much!). Maybe if they added bags and other things to increase your inventory or a camp-vendor at key camps to sell surplus to that camp. Most of the time, I just throw away the insignificant loots and there are lots of people at camps ready to help you repair your gear.

    My main concern being accessibility to retainers being way to easy if they are summoned in camps. Not being able to summon retainers also makes the camps look like far away places surrounded with danger: not everyone can make it's way there.

    But I am in favour of the idea to make certain key camps more functional (like the first camp near the city: Black Brush, Bentbranch, Bearded Rock, they have a vendor, for example).

    LOL cash shop! SE's way to tell their player how they appreciate them... pull the carrot and empty your pockets $$$
    And to those who support it: you are kicking yourselves. -- We just need to sit back and laugh at people with cash shop items.

    I was thinking about this the other day, and for some reason it just doesn't feel right. Out of curiosity, though, do the small villages outside of the main towns have retainer bells? That would probably be the next step rather than in the camps themselves. I don't think we should make retainer access too easy. I wouldn't mind bells in the various guilds, though, as it would save a lot of walking back and forth. It makes sense to have bells there since you use items so much in them.

    Yea more bells sounded nice to me but after thinking about it seems to easy and makes accessibility to easy. Farming becomes a lot easier. I don't know about you guys and what you have to carry at higher levels, but I can carry crafting gear, battle gear, mats to repair most of it myself, probably about 90% of my crafting tools (which I really don't need to), foods and even some crafting mats and my inventory is only at 63 which leaves a decent amount still to go farming. 100 spaces should be enough for you to carry most of what you need so you don't forget anything.

    Although more bells around town...maybe closer to town entrances would be nice. Like LL you have to run all the way to East Hawkers Alley. The only bell on the Lower Decks

    I like the idea. Add a retainer bell at the camps. They can already teleport anywhere those bells are, even to other cities.
