HQ Forager and Artisan Retainer drops... Gee Thanks SE for the Lost Income

You mean that Battle Retainers are bringing this HQ gear back from Quick Ventures? I noticed that on MIN/BOT Retainers can now bring back Darksteel Ore / Gold Ore Silkworm Cocoons from lv 50, also Shroud Tea Leaves, Ebony Wood and Feberite.

Lol yup it appears the battle retainers are bringing back a notable quantity of these items from quick ventures. Our server is just starting to see the influx of the workbenches. Problem is the demand for all of these was never particularly high... so the retainers are crashing the markets quickly as the rate they bring these back is MUCH greater than the consumption of said items.

I will admit the pricing of the items was high on our server.

IF I were a developer I would have had the gathering retainers find Ehcalt sealants and Gladenuts. The prices would have crashed but gather retainers would have lowered the prices and pushed some money into gathers pockets. And Crafters would still have to make the items and higher access would have caused low-mid crafters to be able to reasonable make the items lowering the prices for the items naturally but still passing the money to crafters.
