I'm.... unsure if I should be amazed or horrified...
Your tenacity to create such sight is surely astounding... though...

I too can confirm that I get a TON of bom bokos and stuffed alphas (way more the former than the latter).

I got my retainers to level 90, but they were still wearing ilev 500 blue scrip gear. And suddenly they started coming back with 1 elemental shard. Water, Ice, or Earth. That never used to happen to me. I crafted up a set of gear, increased both of their gathering stats by like 800 each, and they're still bringing back 1 shard (though less often).

It's...very strange and I wish we could know more about what this Quick Venture table looks like and how it works. I also wish that scrip gear was not unique so that I dont have to GIVE a retainer my stuff, THEN go buy a replacement for myself.

I have 5 retainers. I get tons of Bom Bokos and haven't gotten a single minion since EW and only 3 non bom boko decos. Gettting quite a few Exarchic pieces too but they are now pretty worthless.

Ok, so it's not just me... this is a thing apparently. I thought my game was broken and was about to put in a ticket wondering why I was getting so many of these lately.

Of course, I'm sure the answer from SE would have been: "it's working as intended".

Absolutely, when the servers will be back online I will be posting a notice to our fc to avoid dropping the Bom Boko deco in the FC chest tab that is accessible to anyone. The principle of such fc chest tab was that “one man's trash is another man's treasure” but now it’s more like it’s everyone’s trash.

My poor partner has been attempting to get a fat cat minion for over a year now, so I am assuming just bad luck rng. The rng will give you nothing sometimes, but than give you thousands. If they keep at it at some point I feel they will get at least 10 fat cat minions within the span of two weeks at some point. At some point OP should, theoretically, randomly will get extremely lucking and get a ton. Though I suppose it depends on your luck, but even with my bad luck the extreme trials mounts always steak positive at one point or another. Some days you may be more luck than other days. I even crafted nothing but high quality everything when using Quick Synthesis. Of course it was when I wished to sell the normal quality items, which was pretty ironic.

I'm horrified.

Like "I'm in a scary movie and there's no way in hell I'm staying in that haunted house" horrified.

My army keeps growing~

All since release of EW. Actually, as mentioned before, I had more but sold a few of the first ones.

I haven't gotten a dye yet this expansion either, and I check my retainers a few times a day ( 4 retainers ).. but boy do I have TONS of bom boko to throw out.

SECONDLY, before EW, I used to get at least one "common" dye minimum every week, as long as I sent all 3 of my retainers on hourly ventures, over a period of 3-5 hours. I used to also get one black or white at least once a month. Sometimes I'd get lucky and get those every two weeks.

I'm not getting any of that now, even with my retainers wearing EW's AF gear (they're all combat jobs). But I am getting the really cute stuffed bom boko alot. Something has happened in the rng coding of the Quick Exploration. And while I utterly and completely despise the "Am I the only one who bla bla bla" question...(deep breaths) I gotta ask. I gotta break my own code and let all the cells in my body recoil in cringe:

Am I the only one that's getting this sort of rng from Quick Exploration?

EDIT: Btw, I forgot to add, I'm not even getting common dyes anymore. Haven't gotten a single one. Forget black and white, I don't even get weird Woad Blue dye or something like that.

Lol...one of my fc officers was talking about this the other night where they got 7 or 8 in one week.

So many Stuffed Alphas and Bom Bokos here too.
I've 3 gatherers/1 combat job retainers, so 4 retainers, and last week was the first Venture coffer I've gotten in EW... ( ´థ౪థ)
Was dark purple and i like that, so not bad at all. Have we gotten any mention about venture loot table getting some tweaks?

100 out of 100 slots are now full. My army is ready!
On a more serious note, please adjust the rate at which they are brought back please!

Eorzea calls for aid!

And the Bom Bokos will answer. Muster the Wark Knights!

*Cue epic music*

Lol I thought it was just my luck, my retainers sure love those stuffed Alphas.

Yeah I get a ton of stuffed alphas and bom bokos. It's actually getting annoying. I get a ton of gear though so get a lot of seals, but it's very frustrating. Mine are all 90 so I get the occasional venture coffer.

In the last few weeks I have gotten 4 white dyes, 2 deep red dyes, 2 metallic red dyes, 2 metallic gold dyes, and about a half dozen Bom Bokos.
