My retainer found something interesting...

[Espritduo]

So my retainer brought back and Explorer's Ring. I've seen others bring back stuff like Explorer's Tabard and Stonewall Choker. Now these were old 1.0 items that are no longer obtainable in ARR, right? Same for random seasonal things like the confetti. I also recently got a Magicked Prism (Indigo Star) which is from some Hyrstmill event from 1.0 that may or may not ever happen again. So am I correct in assuming that, while the patch notes said there were no items unique to Quick Exploration, the fact that these are obsolete 1.0 items effectively means Quick Exploration IS the only way to get them now? And what other 1.0 things might they bring back? The Darkligh Raider gear like Thormoen's Subligar? Dalamud Horns? Odd bits and bobs of obsolete crafting mats?

Explorer's stuff for real? I'd love those items!

Exact opposite actually - there are items obtainable only by Quick Exploration according the the patch notes.

Exact opposite actually - there are items obtainable only by Quick Exploration according the the patch notes.

From the notes:

"Quick Exploration
Upon reaching level 10, retainers can undertake quick exploration ventures. Retainers assigned to quick exploration will always come back with a single item, which will remain unknown until the venture is completed. The amount of experience earned will vary depending on the item found.
* There are no items unique to quick exploration ventures."

It's the Exploration (18 hour) Ventures that the notes say may bring back unique items:

"* Although retainers will procure items randomly, higher-level retainers may procure items, minions, and crafting materials unique to exploration ventures."
