The list of items they can harvest doesn't include all the items you have harvested yourself. I was hoping my retainer could get some Lominsan Anchovies to make some more Fishmeal, but even though I've caught that fish myself, it's not on his list. He does have the right level gear on and mostly HQ. So I'm not sure what's going on here. So don't get excited over Fullmoon Sardines and Apkallu eggs, they may not be on his list.

Retainers can be equipped with gear befitting their assigned class and level, which will in turn affect items procured on their venture. Items will be procured in increased quantities by increasing either average item level for Disciples of War and Magic, or gathering rating for Disciples of the Land. Moreover, for retainers set as Disciples of the Land, increasing perception will result in a higher likelihood of obtaining high-quality items.
