Tafetta cloth?

My retainers have brought back things that don't even have a history of being sold on the market board such Mage's Rings and crafted items that require Glazenuts like the Manor Harp. I guess it's not that far-fetched for them to possibly bring back Taffeta or a completed Taffeta item.... although you would think by now someone would of heard about it being possible or being sold on the MB.

The retainers are my last hope lol as they can bring back almost anything! But seriouly don't want to rely heavily on this kindnof rng cuz at least in treasure hunts you have a more narrowed down possibilty ( map types with different loot lists)
Retainers r like whatever they want! It may be interesting but can feel like atma. Rng despair but still possible.

Today, I've found there have been sales of taffeta cloth and light steel from the sales history on the market board here on Durandal server.

I have yet to know the details about them, but this means there is a certain way to get them ingame!

Probably only way atm is from retainers but thats like 1 in 100 lol
Worse than atma better than nothing.

Two pieces showed up on the Gilgamesh MB today at 2.5 million Gil each from the same seller.

I'd never pay that much, but I'm also not that desperate.

I have a sinking feeling they are from the high level retainer 18 hour ventures.

Hmmm... anyone able to translate this page?

開発チームに確認してきました。

タフタ織物／ライトスチールプレートはともに、リテイナーベンチャーで高レベルの探索依頼からリテイナーが獲得してきます。
リテイナーに探索依頼をして、獲得を目指してみてください。
I have checked with the development team.
Retainer brings both Taffeta Cloth and Lightsteel Plate from high level field exploration.
Please have the retainers go out and try and obtain them.

Reading other posters on the thread someone mentions it’s from the field exploration (the 18hr venture) at around G12/13

Hello!

I just wanted to stop in and officially confirm that this information is correct. :)

Both Taffeta Cloth and Lightsteel Plates can be obtained by sending your retainers on high level exploration ventures.
