Retainer Venture?

[HEC]

So, it's not possible to send Retainers out on Ventures to hunt/harvest items that your character has not already obtained before.

Thanks for confirming this however I believe the original question was about the areas (of the map / world) rather than specific items and as you can obtain majority of the items form multiply locations this doesn't prove anything. However the question here is if the reatiners actually even use the "standard" game locations to "explore" or if they even care if those were already discovered by our character or if they simply obtain the items based on some RNG algorithm and their level / gear? I believe it's latter as we'll hardly see groups of retainers running around Eorzea performing their quests
