    18 hour are to be used when you're at work so that they still gain exp, the only thing of value they return are minions or items like floss silk. Quick Adventure = dyes.

    You should be focused on what you don't want to collect yourself. In my case I made a miner for alumen and cobalt ore, botanist for random wood and 2x arcanist to grab me shit like aldoat horns. Two of the retainers also gather crystals which in turn i sell to get 2x the shards.

    They said retainers are working as intended but right now they are nothing more than a waste of time since 18 hours for 3x 1star mats is a waste of time.

    18 hours = 25x18 = 450 gold ore or w.e Even if you only got 10% of that, so 45 every 18 hours that would be incredibly useful. But instead you have a 0.67% return rate, you don't even have a choice in what it brings back.

    Conclusion
    : Unless you need a minion or dye or something, stick to shards or something of value, sell what they bring back and buy what you need.

    Ok, the issue here is that..

    #1 These are level 50 ventures, so there is no need for EXP.
    #2 You're right, the return rate for 18 hours is, well, abysmal. I can easily go gather whatever they might return, and gather more of it.
    #3 So hence my suggestion. Perhaps there should be more "retainer only" returns from long ventures. Getting your retainer to 383 or 308 should have ongoing reasonable returns, not just a handful of junk.

    If this is how they *intend* it to work, I am not impressed.
