Is there a retainer shop directory

Hi,

I was wondering if there is something like a web shop directory for player retainers? Something along the lines of a webpage, where players list their retainer names and what items they are buying/selling and where their retainer is located. Right now, having to browse each individual retainer is slow and a bit annoying.

    No not yet. Right now searching retainers is a waste of time imo.

    If you need crafting materials, the best thing to do is get your retainer to buy them. The only catch is you have the item and quantity of it you wish to buy. So if you want 10 iron ore you need to have ten.

    I'd imagine on release you will be able to search the forums to find crafters/traders to buy from. Randomly searching retainers is  inefficient.

    are you sure you have to have the same quantity also.. I havn't tested its just that would be very stupid.. as I thought you just needed the item for referencing to the retainer.

    you need 2 of an item to have your own retainer go and buy things for you, your retainer can do this when you are offline, just need to log in and check him now and then.

     

    dam people are so lazy these days, they dont even bother to explore in game options that have been mentioned out of game, on this very forum before, instead of just having a fit about not being an ah to crowd up all trying to constantly buy the cheapest something as it goes up for sale so they can reprice it at 100x profit.  you can still try to do that, but it wont be easy like wow.

    The way it works is you actually hand over the item you want to buy and you can only buy the amount you handed over.

     

    Example: I have 10 wind shards, I give (removed from inv) 10 wind shards to the retainer then he/she can buy a max of 10 more.

     

    Utter poop imo.
