    Do you still outfit retainers?

    I have both with ilvl of 200 but I think there is no reason to keep getting them outfitted anymore, there seems to be no reason whatsoever they have brought back the same garbage since they got maxed.
    Is there something I am missing?

    I just give my retainers the latest replaced set if gear as I improve. No real reason not to.

    Exactly, hand me downs are free, and of course the glamours go with them, so if I like the set on me, I will like it on my retainer - properly laundered before gifting it of course...

    It became quite clear that gear doesn't affect quick ventures, and that is the only thing I send my retainers on. At the lowest ilvl possible, I still receive things like rare dyes, rare mats, HQ crafting armor and rare housing items. I stopped worrying about gearing them ages ago.

    Like most others so far, they just get my hand-me-downs.
    This has lately led to a weird situation where my no. 1 retainer had a higher ilvl than me..xD
    Since he got the ilvl 250 crafted gear that I had traded in for Alex gear with better substats and I dropped the Sophia SMN book (his class) before the BLM staff (my main), so with that weapon he was suddenly better geared than me

    He's still higher than my secondary cass, healer, who is only 246 so far.

    My DoW retainer used to be the same job as me, but since I switched mains a while back, I just keep it equipped with whatever the latest dungeon drops are, the rest of the gear is handed down as it gets replaced. My DoL retainer is the same way. It gets new gear when my MIN gets new gear.

    Whatever stats maximise the quantity of items gathered and call it good. Everything else is GC seal fodder.

    Like the others, I give them hand me downs and that is it. However, since I always outfit myself with the best possible that is within my power to get that is HQ and fully melded, they still have really good gear.

    How I came to be by the side of the chosen, and the moments we've sewn.
    This soul. Its attachment to all living things. The love they have known.
    Oh Warrior of light if only you could hear,
    just how closely I hold you dear.

    Same and eventually glamour since I have one retainer placed on the garden.
