Retainer

Revision as of 17:07, 17 March 2014 by *>Warsamurai (→‎Retainer Vocates: fixed name)


A retainer is an NPC with whom players can leave items. The retainer can act as an item and gil storage, with an inventory capacity of 150 items. It's also how players can list items for sale on the Market Board,up to twenty stacks may be listed for sale at a time. Players are allowed 2 retainers.

Once you complete the story mission "The Scions of the Seventh Dawn", you will be given the option to hire a retainer.

When hiring a retainer you are allowed to choose from every race and gender available in Character Creation. Each race and gender combination has pre-defined characters available, and will be shown to you in succession until you choose one to hire.

While each retainer has its own given name, you will assign a nickname of your choice to identify your retainer. The nickname you choose must be unique, on your server.
