    Hmm, that's worrisome. I put all my sweet snowman/ghost gear on my retainers. I don't want that to vanish.

    Related note: You can rebuy that event stuff from the Calamity Salvager now, right? Maybe? I hope?

    Have you tried equipping back the original weapon? Maybe the retainer has their own armory.

    No, I sent them out on a venture. I will try de-equipping the item when they return.

    edit: but to be clear, it was the original weapon that disappeared and I can't find now. Just a level 1 fishing rod/btn tool/miner tool, but odd.

    edit2: It returns to YOUR armory. I found them.

    Is your retainer a PUG? Just wondering.

    I picked ARC so I could give 'em all this shitty coil gear.

    If no one has thought about it yet, you probably can't give them welfare myth gear because it's job only, and these guys appear to be explicitly class-based, unless something changes in the future.

    Make junk from the crafting log to tick boxes, toss it on your retainer, problem solved.

    Does equipment on a retainer lose durability?

    Yeah, but you can still give them primal weapons, token weapons, and Allagan/High Allagan. And the new "mythic" too (eg Burtgang/Conqueror/Yagrush/etc).

    Speaking of gear, has anyone noticed that gear (weapon or otherwise) has any sort of effect on their performance? I haven't seen any reports of failure.

    It's probably too early to ask this, but I thought I'd check anyway. I noticed that the one person who posted about an HQ Vanya Silk Robe Lining and a new furnishing actually had some gear on their retainers (based on what little you can see of their feet).

    There's a chance they can choose jobs at 30? Don't know if anyone looked in depth into retainers.

    My first quick explore (the ring + a furniture) was with them naked with lv1 weapon. I made them both a few pieces of lv10 HQ gear + weapons each and sent back out. They'll be done in like 10 min.

    I'm confused why it would give you a ring that you nor your retainer could equip. If it was meant to help you I would still expect it to give you a ring within 5 levels of your pug's level.

    Think of it from a newbie standpoint. This unlocks pretty early.

    Newbie unlocks retainer ventures. Newbie puts retainer on same class as them (in this example, PGL) because it's the only class they have leveled. Newbie gets a PGL ring out of the deal that they can probably actually use.

    Yeah, I get that... just seems funny that it gave him a ring that's 14 levels above what his pug is and over 20 levels above his retainer.

    But now I'm really curious what level 50 retainers will bring in. DL...? Myth...? ... Allagan?!?
