Retainer: has their drop rates been messed with?

I have 9 retainers and have sent them continuously on 1 hour quick exploration ventures... what they're bringing back is just a bit off from previous experience.

I'm getting Stuffed Bom Boko and Stuffed Alpha insanely regularly, (yes i know bom boko is new) yet ive received 0 venture boxes - so zero dyes. This is after literally hundreds of ventures, yet i can recieve 3 bom bokos from 3 different retainers returning at the same time.

Did they remove dyes from the venture pool rewards or am i alone in experiencing this?

Seems about the same to me; fairly certain I got some dyes when EW started (though never common for me in general), and they've always brought me back too many bloody Alphas. :/

I've been consistently getting Stuffed Alphas for ages prior to 6.0, this doesn't scream anything new to me at all tbh, i'm only running the base 2 though so my sample size is likely smaller than someone with nearly 10 for however long

Probably need to be max level and geared again for "rare" rewards like always.

One of my retainers has only brought back the Stuffed Bom Boko, so I definitely thing the tables have been messed up a bit.

I dont think so.
My experience (9 retainers) did not change at all.
Its rng and i didnt get many dyes at all...since i started the game.
But i think thats okay.
I can play regulary, have nearly no issues with my game, no bugs, no direct X whatever, no unreal queue bla bla bla.
My retainers went out many times since EW release.
Just so u know im not trashtalkin.

Greetz,
Mörser out

I didn't get any boxes either. Now that my retainers have hit 90 and are OKish equipped, I get them just as regular as before.

I haven't gotten any venture coffers since Endwalker began, but my retainers aren't max level yet. Hopefully that'll change by then.

Man, I haven't used any ventures in so long, I'm shocked that my retainers aren't bringing back bits of kelp and level 1 fish.

same. not 1 venture coffer since launch. also, not max retainer levels. (anymore) 9 retainers, half on quick ex

not even sending them out as much until they are max or the drop rates change.

The stuffed Bom Boko is the worst. It doesn't even desynth and you get way too many. It is worse then old fish. At least alpha some times desynths into clear materia.

The drop table does seem very slightly changed to me, but it could just be me paying more attention. I only have 3 on my main sub and 2 on my alt sub. I'd been sending both accounts out nonstop for a Gyshal Ring for months with no luck, very oddly both accts' retainers brought back Gyshal Rings right after EW dropped lol. XD *shrug*

Other noteworthy thing I noticed, they bring back like 'types' of stuff of the same type on each set of ventures. Like, all 3 retainers will come back with furniture, or almost always junk gear but good for GC turn ins or glam, or all bring back a leather, stuff like that. Interesting, not bad but interesting.
