Retainers can be equipped with gear befitting their assigned class and level, which will in turn affect items procured on their venture. Items will be procured in increased quantities by increasing either average item level for Disciples of War and Magic, or gathering rating for Disciples of the Land.

Gear equipped by a retainer will be bound upon completion of a retainer venture. However, bound items can still be exchanged and used by both players and their retainers.

Â
Â
Â
Â
Â

Â
Disciples of War and Magic - Field Exploration
Miner - Highland Exploration
Botanist - Woodland Exploration
Fisher - Waterside Exploration
Â
Â
Â
Â
Â

Â
Â
Retainers will receive experience points upon completion of ventures, increasing their level to a maximum of 50. The number of available ventures will increase as your retainer advances in level.
