Can somebody confirm if yak milk is obtainable via retainer?

I like the current drop rates. Retainer ventures shouldn't be just "level to cap and send the only use of you is to find rare drops". Consistent money earners should be an equally good choice.

the income is pretty decent.

I'm speaking from the perspective of someone leveling leatherworking, and it takes 15 minutes of farm to get enough skins to make a single piece for a level 50 leve that requires 9 pieces. I don't want to finance your entire housing ward just to level a single profession. And your retainers (which can be bought with real money) shouldn't be a significant source of gil income, because that is literally pay to win.

People should make bank on endgame gear, not leveling components. That is why hippogryph skin drop rates were never changed in 2.x, while aldgoat, toadskin, and boarskin were buffed substantially.

the 2 free retainer are enough to give one of them a battle class to bring you milk and skins.
Or make a 2nd character to get 2 extra free retainers.

Who wouldnt actually be able to collect items, since the character would need to be 50-60~ as well. (to personally collect said items first so that the retainer can)

Take heart, you can only craft junk @ 60 so there's no reason to level it anyway!
