Also thathelps with progression as things cost gil...

Only request I have is to cut the time on 18 hr ventures down to like 10 hours or something 18 is just a wtf number for in or out game time lol.

8 hours sleep + 8 hours work + commute time ~18 hours.

I still wish it was less time through.

I also wish there was a way to send them on several 1hr ventures at once. I'd love to be able to send my retainer out on a gathering venture x 8 for when I log off for the night (and I'd pay more than just cost x 8 for being able to do this too)

if you do daily roulettes and get dungeon drops (ear) just trade those for seals then ventures... I usually don't run out but then I don't send my retainers out 10 times a day either, just the 18hr one and check in the morning.

The idea behind this is that you're supposed to send out your retainers on an expedition no more than once per day. So why not make it 24 hours? Because people would stress out if they have to be ready every day at exactly the same time or start to fall behind. So, making it 18 hours gives folks plenty of wiggle room.

If you have lots of free time, you CAN work things out to squeeze in extra retainer ventures by sending your retainer out every eighteen hours on the dot - but that's not how it's intended to be done.

Completing levequests award ventures, turning GC seals in for ventures, Allied seals for ventures and completing beast tribe quests for ventures.

There are more than enough way to gather venture coins and you do not have to do it on your most geared level 50, I've gotta plenty venture coins from levequests on NIN too.

I most certainly don't. The easiest way would be with GC seals which are most easily earned (imo) in FATEs, which I don't do. I only did leves when I had to for books or crafting but otherwise I never touch them. Never do guildhests unless leveling a new job. Back when I was grinding for atma I was swimming in ventures and sending out my retainers constantly, but now that I'm not doing that I only see a venture in my inventory once every three weeks or so.

I agree with putting them under currency.

Edit: You can also turn in gear, and I did that for awhile, clearing out my stock of gear for jobs I don't yet play. Now I'm not doing many low lvl dungeons anymore because I'm not working on books so I don't earn that stuff.

I"d be happy if they made venture tokens either a key item or just tracked them in the currency window. The fact that these things take up actual inventory space is silly. What next? Convert all my gil to Allagan Tin Pieces and trade those to NPCs, players and marketboards?
