Am I doing something wrong, or is this just the worst RNG luck ever? (quick ventures)

I've been sending my ilvl 101 Archer retainer out on quick ventures consistently for 3 weeks now. pretty much every hour that I'm awake, give or take a couple days around Christmas. I've spent somewhere around 300 ventures and I *still* haven't seen a single Pure White or Jet Black dye. I've got 8 each of Metallic Gold and Silver, but none of the others. This is super frustrating because I just want one freaking Pure White dye for my wedding dress! I get rare items and low chances, but 3 weeks of continuous venturing? That's a bit ridiculous >.<

Thought those drop from the 18 hr XIV and XV ventures.

Nope, all 4 dyes are from quick ventures. Have to have an item level of 80 or above for DoW/DoM. Not sure what the crafting/gathering classes need.

Don't feel bad, my retainer is il98 and I've yet to see any of the dye's either.

All I've received has been 8 jet black. I just want silver, been at it for 2 weeks, maybe 60 ventures. My retainers are i82 and i83, maybe you need to drop their ilevel to low 80's, could be gated, possibly why I haven't received anything other than black.

just RNG. I have like 12 gold and 8 black dyes and none of the silver or white.

Lol. So funny I've been doing ventures with two of my four retainers in the 90-ish ilvl range and never seen a pot of metallic silver, jet black, pure white or gold since they gave me the metallic gold pots from the fix...

What's your retainer ilvl?

PS: LOVE the gif!

i hear you op, they really need to back off the 1gil ink and quill crap and up the odds for the things they darn well know ppl want more :o)
and they should only cost 1 venture considering 99.99999% of the time its junk they return with

please adjust SE

Dont feel bad, my retainers have never brought me back any dyes.
They did however bring me back a glazenut and a diamond tear so not all bad ^^

Quick Explore is the way to go, yeah, you will get a lot of crap( Moraby flounder, Riviera bench... seriously, did you go explore the fc house next door?!) but it's nice when you see beladian silver or mog whiskers etc coming back, or they bring back lvl 55 gear so you can replenish your ventures. it's a luck, just keep at it.

I feel like I am swimming in the damn dyes. If it's not dyes, it's either fish or materials that aren't worth anything.

Well, I've been through over 198 and no dye, but I've gotten other good things... Mog weapons, etc.
Honestly, who cares?

You really need that dye, lol?

dat RNG - I have like 6 pure whites, 6 golds, 8 jet blacks... then 30 silver dyes that I wouldn't use.

Mostly just interested in the white and black

On the off chance after I upgraded my DoW retainer I sent him out on e quick venture and got two pots of metallic silver I used one of them on the Kirimu Coat for my Bard looks lush, but after that I haven't see/got anything good from him.

Dyes, Anchovies, Jellyfish and Aquamarines- story of my quick explore life

Since my last post I've got Jet Black and Pastel Green dyes from the same retainer that I got my metallic silver from.

Ink quill 9x in a row. Woo RNG! (Or not-too-random number generator.)

While i'm aware that the quick explorations are random in their rewards, I find myself rather too frequently shouting a tirade of abuse at my screen when my item level 107 retainer consistently returns with the most basic items available. And to SE, that retainer is not a fisher so where the hell do they get all the bloody fish from? Are they mugging npc fishers?
