Ventures and rewards - Can we get an official response?

I've sent my retainers out on ventures every day since Jan 1st.

I have 1 miner, 1 fisher, 1 botanist. All of them 410+ gathering. I have tried every venture confirmed to drop a minion yet I have yet to come away with a single minion.


It's been exactly 90 days, 0 minions to report. Have they all been moved to the highest level venture as rewards? That is the only explanation I can imagine as I'm currently 0/90 on littlefoot/minature minecart/fat cat.

Here is today's results - btw how is my fisher bringing me back honey lemons?

Per some outside resources it has been confirmed to drop from woodland exploration XIV see the screenshot for reference.

This info was from October of last year though so I'm wondering if there have been updates since then.

Ya I looked it up and found the same info about littlefoot, my bad.

RNG is still a bitch here though, I've been doing them for a long time as well and haven't gotten a single minion. Meanwhile somebody in my FC has gotten several of every minion.

Just very rare. I send my MIN out on 18 hour ventures pretty much exclusively (unless I begin to fall short on a particular shard/ crystal) and it was months until I got the mine cart. I did eventually get lucky with it though and he brought one back, 2 in fact within 5 days of each other after 60+ days of crap. The odds are just very much against you, unfortunately.

Thanks for the input guys, I will continue on. Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something about them possibly being moved to the highest level ventures.

Just bad luck, yes.
I can confirm they still come from Exploration XIV, as I got last week my Little Foot on one of those, after a pair of months.

I got my first minion this morning from xiv, littlefoot. First minion since January 1, been doing them every day. That's a crazy low droprate.
