Well thats no fun. Can the alts use the same mule/retainer as the main?
Re: I have a question... - Asyria - 08-20-2010
That would be cool and would give us the ability to switch items between our own charries without a third party (since there doesn't seem to be mailboxes), but I don't know more than you on the subject.
Re: I have a question... - UnbeknownstGhost - 08-20-2010
It would make life with an Alt that much easier. But eh, I highly doubt that they will.

Every character comes with 1 retainer.
Re: I have a question... - UnbeknownstGhost - 08-20-2010
Wait... So your alt does have its' own retainer
Re: I have a question... - Tadir - 08-20-2010
Yes
Re: I have a question... - UnbeknownstGhost - 08-20-2010
So, if you get an extra retainer, does that mean both characters get an extra? Or only one?
Re: I have a question... - Tadir - 08-20-2010
Each character comes with one retainer. To get more than one retainer per character you need to pay an extra dollar a month. I don't know if that extra dollar gets you an extra retainer for all your characters, or just for one of them.
Re: I have a question... - UnbeknownstGhost - 08-20-2010
Hopefully all of them. If not, what a jip.

$13 per month.
Not exactly the most cost efficient game when you realize to have a single mule it costs $16, huh? Most people I knew on FFXI had two mules (including myself), so were you to bring that habit over, then maybe throw in one extra retainer for sales purposes, that's an even Andrew Jackson ($20) right there.
Nonono a mule is 1$ (that's what retainers are for), so your main and 2 mules would be 13.99 instead of 12.99.
It's adding Alts that get expensive.
Huh?
Sorry, it must be a lingo/terminology thing. I always called an alternative character a "mule", because that is all I ever used them for.
Though maybe you mean that you plan to use extra retainers for more storage space. But in that case, I've not seen anything yet that leads me to believe they can be used in the same capacity an alternative, "mule" character can be used, i.e. they also have non-sales inventory space.

The retainers are NPC storage people is what I read.

Got it. Thanks for clearing that up. I've admittedly been so out of the loop the past few weeks info-wise with family visiting it's a wonder I still even know that the camera is bound to IJKL, much less that retainers are basically $1-per-pop (after the first), humanoid versions of Aht Urgan mog lockers. :oops:
Re: I have a question... - UnbeknownstGhost - 08-20-2010
Yep, cheaper mules for you.
