Not for DoL retainers, no.

It USED to be Gathering, but that was back when Gathering affected how many items a DoL retainer brought back on a targeted Venture, and Perception affected how many of...

400 GP with a 3 minute cooldown is good enough for Hi-Cordials, IMO. We don’t really need higher Cordials.

What I’d like to see instead, is a small increase to the GP regeneration rates. I’m at...

As far as I know …

Gear has a huge impact on Ventures, Quick or otherwise.

Ilevel is the stat for combat retainers.
Gathering and Perception are the stats for DoL retainers. Gathering is a...

I don’t see myself melding my other miner or my botanists to that degree. It depends on just how lucrative the fourth Workshop makes the Island Sanctuary.

I’m actually a bit miffed that the...

6.4 is annoying.

Anyone know what Perception is needed for 50/8’s for level 90 items? 4072 Perception is insufficient for 50 Raw Star Quartz, or 8 of anything Ilmenite and lower on the list.
...

Failing this, at LEAST give that otherwise useless Companion App the ability to send retainers off on Ventures …

2660 Gathering, 2556 Perception Fishing retainer :
L86 : 9 fish
L87 : 15 fish
L88 : 12 fish

2660 Gathering, 2561 Perception :
L86 : 9 fish
L87 : 15 fish
L88 : 15 fish

Yea, I need to send my retainers out for Water and Lightning crystals every now and then working on these things. Fortunately one retainer can bring back a lot over time.

Am I the only one who uses Rarefied Draught? This uses no refined mats, just stuff my retainers bring me (Ambrosial Water from Miners, Berkanan Sap from combat retainers, and Light Gerbera from...

That’s a fallacy. You are suggesting that the only reason many players play is because of their add-ons. I’d suggest to you, instead, that most players don’t use them; that users are the minority....

You actually might be right. I was at work so going off of memory about the macros I have currently. I thought it was set to wait.2 … but its been wait.3 somehow. No wonder it still works for me …...

The Upper Tomestone once had a weekly cap of 300. Be glad that they long ago upped it to 450.

That said, the 300 (and the 450) were chosen to limit how fast you can upgrade to new Tomestone gear....

Personal opinion but I only Need if the item is an upgrade to what I am currently wearing, OR if I see someone else hitting Need on something that is not an upgrade to something they are wearing. IE...

I have not noticed that; but the <wait.2> in my macros is still sufficient for observe into focused synthesis.

I am probably going to wait until the final gear set to upgrade my retainer gear beyond the MH and OH tools. But it would be interesting to know how much Perception is needed to get 50 Alien Onion...

You can have retainers on other servers?

571 gets 12 of the level 89 items.
574 gets 15 of the level 89 items.

580 is not necessary. Unfortunately I did not have gear to try to narrow the 15 items/venture for level 89 items further.

100th Percentile?

No such thing. You cannot be part of the group of 100 and still be better than all 100 of them.

Someone needs to point out how hilarious that error is to that log parser...

NOT a fan of the PB/Blitz mechanic. Not for monk, anyway. It honestly feels to me that this is what Ninja Mudras should have been from the get-go. Not handsigns (we really don’t need Naruto...

I do not know the stat weights.

My own inclination is to max out Crit on everything. After that (and you may need to play around with this a bit) raise bit DHit and Det trying to keep them equal....

Fishing is tuned around the stats that FSH can get. While I would love to see the gig made into a tool with stats and upgraded every few levels the way that MIN and BTN offhand tools are, just to...

Does this not imply that you need More than 2362 Perception? I’d expect 15 fish for the last two, not a cap at 12.

That was not me who mentioned pink items …

You might try repeating that test, using fresh new gear as you had, with the HQ piece only having one materia.

Still, glad I could help improve your guide by pointing something like that out. As...

Chapter 21G … you say that HQ and NQ have the same spiritbond rate.

When did that change? IIRC each Materia adds 20%(?) to the points gained towards Spiritbinding, and HQ adds another 20%(?). I...
