And if you really want to get max benefit from doing ventures on them, you're going to have some who are botanists, some who are miners, some who are fishers, and some who are combat jobs... and since some of the rare minions are scattered across various venture types, it means you can't even use all 10 to try for whatever thing you want to get.
I assume that is to help push the sales of the retainer level up stuff on the store. Buy a bunch of retainers, pay to get them leveled, then try and get what you are after in ventures. Repeat. I would never spend that money on the process but they have that stuff for sale so I am sure someone is.

Which realistically at that point I suspect a person would be debating waiting the weeks to level them slow, spending a lot of money to do it fast for a chance, or going a more dangerous route to get the funds to buy what they need off the market board.
