Copy Pasta:

Leases are good for 24 hours, can not hold a stand longer than that, but you can keep renewing it up to 24 hours (At least you can in Beta)



Each lease currently costs 100gil, no matter how much time is left on your lease.



You DO NOT need a stand in order to place your retainer. You can choose to clusterfuck them around the wards for free.



You CAN NOT sell armor/weapons in bazaar that are less than MINT CONDITION.



Items you're seeking to buy, or to get repairs for...take up a slot in your limited bazaar space (10 slots).



10 stands per ward instance.



To leave the wards, go to the center of the instance, open menu, and select teleport.



5% surcharge.





To give your retainer items/currency, you talk to it as you would an NPC, and a special menu comes up since you are it's owner. And you can manage your items from there.



To manage the stand, you open up your main menu, and select stand.



You must first put items into the Retainer's inventory in order for the retainer to sell them. If you want your retainer to buy items for you, you must give them gil.

 

Seems like you can set your retainer to actually buy an item for you if you give it money and register what it is your looking to buy, wasn't aware of that. Might make buying items a little easier than it originally sounded if sellers/crafters can roam the market wards to sell their stuff.

I guess you only have 10 slots for setting stuff up to sell/buy/repair, not a whole lot of room to work with it seems like. T_T

Anyways just thought i'd share. A lot more info on it if you read the rest of the thread.
