My retainer found something interesting...

[Arkista]

2 questions.

1. What's the best way to earn ventures?

2. Am I reading correctly that you get better stuff from the 18 hour exploration?

Or is the 1 hour quick better?
(in terms of higher random cool gear/items)

The best way is from the Grand Company 5 Ventures for 1000 Seals.

The Field Exploration last tier (forgot what the number is) the one you need ilvl70 to do is suppose to bring back good stuff. I've had some pretty amazing stuff from Quick Ventures, There isn't enough data from the 2 people that posted what they got to know what we can get from it.

Until we know what is the best things from that last tier then Quick Ventures would be the way to go.... Unless you can play for more than a few hours a day.
I'm really curious as to what can be obtained from that last tier. Coils Gear, Upgrade items, or just really good Furnishings? Also wonder if they are going to add Sphere Scrolls to Ventures.

I haven't heard a single complaint about the PS4 gameplay wise, And I'm really excited about that.

rank 13 18 hour explorations can bring you (crap) or the mindflayer minion (i got that!) taffeta cloth, lightsteel, and the other rare material.

idk if there is anything else that's rare like those but those i know drops, got a taffeta cloth myself too sold for 500k.

o.0 didn't know that stuff dropped from there maybe it is worth doing them.

My retainer stole a person's walls to their mansion so apologies for that and he also bought me my Mog Book for SCH and he's only Level 11.

[Lyrinn]

I got a Mogblade and Azeyma Rose.

[TrystWildkey]

I keep getting furniture....

Walls, windows, desks, floors, I think I got a roof or two.

I don't have a FC house. Perhaps my retainer knows I'm upset about that and is systematically dismantling all the other houses to placate my rage

If you don't mind me asking, what gear (+melds) did you equip to your retainer so they could meet the gathering requirement for r13 ventures?

i have 1 miner and 1 gld retainer, my miner only has 323 gathering i haven't melded anything so she can't actually do rank 13 explorations she only does rank 11 or 12 for me kinda wish i made her a battle class to get your retainer to the the amount of gathering you have to put tons of gathering up melds on every piece you can and you have to get the pick/ax that requires 60 hq of the untradable item. (its a real pain)

battle class you just put anything i70 plus on them and once they hit i70 they can do the rank 13 explorations and you go on with your day.

My retainers come back with fish and clams. Sometimes rocks, too. I hate them :I

[Syrellaris]

Well Fish and clams are useable.. mine brings that confetti stuff and jars of Secretions... I am not sure what her hint with that combination is.
