As we all know, retainers to the warriors of light/darkness are some of the most patient albeit terrifying people. They have to sell our things, hold our inventory for years on end, wear the crap or terrible glamours that we give them on our cast off gear- even have to act and speak in front of us according to our whims all for the sake of a couple of venture coins every few eorzean days
Yet what happens when we ask them to go out on a quick exploration? They come back with all sorts of things. Fish, building parts, raid weapons, dyes... and sometimes the sheer fact they have these items leads to all sorts of curious stories

I'm convinced though most of the time two of my retainers spend their time on the beach or at the diadem. I keep getting fish and Sky rat X pieces from them
What crazy things have your retainers done?
