The best thing your retainer has found.

My retainers are around ilvl80. Would their chances of finding more rare items go up if their ilvl goes to 90?

White Raven armour fragment

that retainer for real beaten T9

the hell we are wiping for and trying to kill T9? while your retainer can solo it?

The retainer thing has been broken since the last time they touched it.

Back when it worked, I used to get random stuff that was semi good.

Now all I get ever get is fish and sometimes a random item like say a door to a house and then fish again.

[Cyrus-Wallace]

NO IDEA. My retainers are always like this when they come back:

[Adler]

All kind of moogle weapons, kingly whisker (undercut the price by 500k and sold it for 1 million in a day to my neighbour fc crafter), grade IV crit and det materia, stuffed chocobo, hq lvl 70 accesories.
Of course my retainers also love to bring back roofs, lvl 5 fish and other crap.

[Doki]

Since the most recent patch, I always get the same exact thing from the XIV 18 hour ones for my 2 tanks, miner and botanist...volcanic rock salt, gold/darksteel ore, HQ hipogryph hides, and mossy weapon parts.

[Garlyle]

One of my retainers has brought me back almost a complete level 50 gear set for a Bard.

I don't even play Bard.

[CodeCass]

Like many people here, my retainers normally bring back fish, and other crafting mats. On the rare occasion they'll bring back a IV Materia or a door or other furnishings, but that's about it. I've never gotten any weapons from them ever.

I have gotten a Dimension Blade Fragment (at least I believe that's what it was called) and it sold for a good price!

Just to be clear, these all come from the "Quick Exploration", right? And my retainer's Level and iLevel do not factor in to it at all, correct?

Just trying to make sure!

What did my retainer find?

She found her way back! At level 1 too!

I was so surprised and happy for her.

Quick Exploration is for this thread, yes, since most other forms of exploration are more or less fixed in results. Quick Exploration can get you almost any item in the game, barring certain ones. Supposedly your gear does affect the results, but it's more like it just leans them in a direction - there's nothing stopping you from getting kelp when your retainer is geared at level 80. Trust me.
