As the ability to have a higher percentage of getting higher grade item(s) is directly tied to the IL of the retainer's gear, and secondarily based off the primary retainer job stat (which then allows access to higher payout percentage explorations), improving your retainer's gear will greatly increase the chance of higher exp exploration runs.
You obviously didn't get the changes in the last patch. They now get exp relevant to their level, nothing more was said. Having leveled them after the last patch I know that all 9 retainers (same alt) gets exactly the same exp for every QE they performe. If that relevant exp is dependent on gear is what I'm asking about.
