Moogle Mog stuff returned by retainers

[EricCartmenez]

I have 4 retainers, 3 of which have a class. Yeah, yeah, I know, I should make the 4th one something. One DOW (ARCHER) iLVL 67, one DOM (CNJ) iLVL 65, one DOL (MIN) iLVL 50 and enough gathering points to match. They all bring back the same crap and good stuff. Apparently, if I get to iLVL 70, I can get a blue bird (unconfirmed) with the DOW or DOM, but I have to get them equipped. This is easy up to iLVL 55, but you have to make serious sacrifice of your own stuff for higher iLVL's, because most stuff is specific to the job (e.g. Bard). The retainer can't take on the job, so you can't throw your old Bard clothes on it. I would have an iLVL 90 retainer for WHM and BRD if that was the case. By design, SE?

I always send them on Quick Ventures, because you roll the dice every time you send them anyway, so why roll the dice and wait 18 hours for it to return?

Allagan equipment from first coil is equippable to base jobs and is very easy to get. I have an i91 GLD retainer because he has my hand me downs from when I upgraded to Noct and a Wave Shamshir that I farmed for him.
