Retainer quick venture rewards, plz fix?

Hello!

Ever since the recent patch my retainers have been NON STOP bringing me the same items repeatedly. I don't know why i would need 5+ Alexander miniatures and 6 million stuffed Alpha's. It's a bit much.
I don't know what exact changes were made to them recently as far as loot is concerned, but i saw nothing wrong with them prior to this patch, please change it back!!!
And yes, my retainers are max lvl in 80 armor.


i beg.

Anyway, thank you!

TLDR; Why are my retainers just repeating loot so much, its ridiculous. Plz fix.

Certain things seem to be higher on the list than others, Stuffed Alpha being one of those things. I have one, thanks. They sell for next to nothing, too, at this point. So...I'd like to see something adjusted somewhere.

Better than a single crystal. New ventures are way better.

At least Alpha desynths into Fieldcraft Demimateria. Which ... is also now worthless, since everyone gets at least 2 Alphas a day.

Funnily enough, that is what one of my retainers has brought me pretty regularly for the last few days.

"Hi, I know you pay me well, and I had an hour...but I couldn't be bothered to do anything. Here's...a crystal? Found it on your lawn, too. Easy! Yay!"

I never got an alpha, just some crafting stuff and 490 tome gear lol

But yes, they improved, but way overdid it... now most stuff is worthless due endless desynthesis or straight out selling for less then vendor price lol.

I suspect the general item level range of the gear you equip to your retainers goes some way to determining the sort of item your retainers bring back - one of my retainers I fitted with a sword and shield from Holminster that I didn't need anymore and now has started bringing me back random ShB main scenario dungeon gear, including from Amaurot (she's level 80), where as all the others have lower level gear and just bring me the same level 50-70 gear, some from dungeons and trials, some that was from currency like augmented Skavean gear.

There doesn't seem to be any specific parameter behind it, just the general level range of the gear you've equipped to them.

So many Alphas!

i noticed my retainers were getting things very differently than they used to. (I came back after a year of not playing)
Now all they keep bringing me is Lv60-79 leveling gear. Mostly just NIN, MNK/SAM, or aiming.
I cant sell it, and im tired of going to the grand company to trade them in for seals, as they fill up my inventory real fast. now im pretty much parked in limsa, unable to leave, due to constant same leveling gear from the ventures. (kinda dont even want to do any more ventures)

Mine bring me lvl 80 dungeon gear sometimes. Usually nothing I actually want though.
