I still don't have any retainers but I will get one now. Yeah I also forgot about the tomestones, I can get gear from there instead of wasting inventory space on my chocobo storing gear
I will go look up how to start gathering and crafting and do that while waiting in queues. I need to level up my rank in the company too, I never bothered
yeah, the 2 free retainers each has 175 storage space, so you can put a lot of stuff in there. and you can even assign them to go out adventuring/gathering/crafting and bring back loot for you. combine that with your chocobo saddlebag and everything else, you can hold a lot of stuff. thou once you get more gears for other jobs and once you start crafting/gathering, those space will be gone faster than a DRG in a Titan fight.
as for raising your GC rank, keep in mind that the last 2 ranks of the Grand Company, you won't be able to keep advancing until you train and lead a NPC squadron of your own. but the rank at the "limit" before that is already more than enough for most of the stuff you need out of the GC. the NPC squadron thing is very much optional and is actually somewhat fun. just like everything else in MMOs, take your time and do a little at a time. don't try to rush and get everything all at once.
and I would also want to throw in another thing to burn your time on. beast tribe quests. at some point you'll be able to start doing quests for the major beast tribes and build up reputation with them. they give you daily quests that's usually pretty easy and gives decent xp. and once you maxed out your relationship/reputation with them, you'll be able to purchase some awesome minions, gears and mounts from them. the ARR ones (total 5 tribes) are the slowest ones to raise, each of the expansions will add 3 more tribes. most of the tribes would require you to do regular quests like killing something or explore somewhere, but there would also be some tribes who have quests that require you to do crafting/gathering, so keep that in mind. each expansion (that includes ARR) all have 1 tribe that's crafting/gathering only quests. Shadowbringer has 2 thou, I think.
