I seriously logged in this morning, click the aetheryite to do a leve and got the server error message. Bad timing!

We can create a list for npc prices(eventually it will all be on a fan site though) and just have our retainers 'buying'(the crafters that need them) those items at npc price. This way ls can sell easily to our retainers without us having to figure out who has what and how we are going to sell it and without posting items for sale at a cheap price that non-ls will end up buying it. No need for us to make a list of what we have etc, just go see if ls mates are requesting the items via retainer/bazaar. It seems that craftable items well below your level can still obtain skill points, if less likely, so really most items should remain relatively useful for a long time.

I do believe that they tried to make every crafted item useful in some way, so if you skill up on something you can't use to craft, i'm sure another crafter can use your product etc, or you can use it but at a higher lvl.

Also maybe we should agree on what city we should put our retainers to start, since its not terribly difficult to get to another city we can have our ls shopping mall set up pretty quickly.

So should we still name our retainers after brand name stores? Or should we come up with another naming scheme? One that uses our in-game names? Red, you can have Victoria's Secret, i dont mind =p

Red's more of a Forever21 type guy.

I don't think we need to have a naming scheme for retainers cause nothing prevents other people from having retainers that fit the scheme. We might as well just have a list and location for them.

Since atm there's no delivery system..which I hope to god they have by retail.. the retainer buy/sell isn't a bad idea, but idk how to "want to buy" items I don't have currently. I only see that button when I have an item. But the fact that they have to be in a specific place will make it annoying. Sure it isn't hard to get from city to city but it takes a long time if you walk and anima doesn't replenish very fast.

I feel though that the person looking to buy items should be the one going out of his way to get the items, since it is easier to just npc them if that's what they'll get regardless. The sellers are doing it for someone else's benefit.

...I just hope there's a delivery system lol.

I never assumed that we'd be bazaaring materials to anyone at npc price since...yea people outside the LS would buy them lol. The "in LS economy" idea is reliant on trades, delivery or what you mentioned not open access lol.

idm victoria's secret shit. Hot women like to wear my product. lol

[Drakkan]

I agree, delivery system of some sort would be nice. If you use a bell in one city can you access your retainer even if he is in another city?

[Kirakun]

Since aion is dying, lets go hire these guys


the 80 slots we get in inv will definitely be used up quick w/o a delivery system or muling..

Haven't tried, but I assume you can. I'll try it out if my net comes back some day lol.

also..


Shugo > qiqirn ... discuss

[Ochobocho]

You can mule easier actually. Just hire multiple retainers, it cost $1 per extra and each should have 80 slots.

Are we going to be on Kashuan?

If anyone had any questions about the fatigue system, nothing new if you already understood.

We can decide on Mon/Tues after beta ends and when BG decides where their army is moving to

Sounds good.

I messed with my retainer last night. What sucks is that the retainer can only bazaar 15 items at a time. If it can hold 80 items, why can't he bazaar 80 items. So lame!

[RedIce]

Fake "AH" item limitation. At least we have 15 and not 7 like we did in 11 lol.

I'd assume our char doesn't have that limit, but I haven't tried..and since net won't be back til thurs at the earliest someone else can try

[RedIce]

10 on char is the cap.. lol

[Drakkan]

10 on char is the cap.. lol

So 80 inventory on char, and 80 on retainer. Retainer can bazaar 15 items (maybe it was 10 and I miscounted) and char can bazaar 10 items. So with no AH and the 1 free retainer we can only sell 25 items at a time.

For a game that SE planned on having DEDICATED crafters and gatherers, it sure seems like it will take a LONG time to sell off inventory. Maybe that's what they want, to force you to buy some extra retainers?
