Light Steel Plate?

I used to receive light steel plates from field exploration XIII. It's been a while since I've seen one, though. Did this item get moved to a different field exploration category? Has anyone received one lately?

Seriously? Over a hundred views, and no one has anything to say?

I received them a while ago, since they are only used a couple of recipes. both of which make ugly gear, not even worth using as Glamour. I find very little value in them. I haven't sold them on the board, just because they are a rare MAT.

Well, thank you, Chameleon, but that wasn't actually my question. My question was, has the retainer venture used to acquire them changed, or is it still Field Exploration XIII?

I noticed the same thing a while ago, a friend asked me to craft him a light steel set.
Before SE added the new exploration categories I got few light steel plates.. but after the added categories I seem to missed them.. at last I bought them off MB.

I also feel ventures are kinda broken really.. even quick ones too (but it is another issue).

So, Yes I miss Light Steel.. and its been a long long time since I got one.

According to http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Field_Exploration

Light Steel Plates are still on the list.

In case anyone but me wants to know, I did just get a light steel plate again from a Field Exploration XIII. Apparently, the drop rate on it has just gone way down.

They sell for close to 100g on my server so I buy them up to make light steel armor HQ when I fail at making HQ darksteel ingots I make my profit close to 200% by doing that. I used to get them from retainers but no I wont even need other than rare dyes from them.
