My retainer found something interesting...

[Lokialthor]

I just cant wait till my pervy retainer starts bringing back swimsuits has this happened to anyone yet?

[Bloodmoon]

Mine came back with the tires and rims off a '78 El Camino. O.o

[Orophin]

Might have been asked already but has anyone gotten a white raven fragment since the patch?

Pretty sure that's one of the items they removed from the ones that are possible to bring back.

*Pulls letter J from forehead*

\I spam X's till my retainers threaten to form a union but nothing yet o_o

I've had my 2 retainers doing the level 13 mission all week.
Every day I received Coeurl Meat and Trillium except the one day I got a light steel plate (which has dropped 80% in value now)

Meanwhile my friend got 2 mindflayer minions and gave one to me. After this I took all my main botany gear off my botanist retainer and just have him go on the rank 12 missions instead.
Ifeel like if I'll be getting junk anyway no need to have him wear nice gear. I'm also glad I didn't go and fully meld a 2nd set for my retainer to reach that gathering cap - and if you are thinking of doing the same it's not worth it. I've gotten better stuff via quick ventures (like housing furniture i can save for my future house).

I got some really nice iLevel 60 shoes from a quick exploration yesterday. WHM shoes. Since they're unique and untradeable I guess I'd better start leveling CNJ... because I can't see turning them in for a paltry 600 or so GC seals.

Something needs to be done about ventures, because my retainer can't bring back "interesting" stuff. I mean I don't consider walls and floors and roofs that everyone has their attic/cellar (no pun intended) full with "interesting". And the bloody seafood, dear Menphina, all the SEAFOOD, I swear! 4 out of every 5 ventures, my arcanist retainer brings me back fish (or medusa or sea cucumber). Not even HQ and not even a bunch of them, just one NQ piece. At i74. I mean what the heck?? And then I hear the 18hr long exploration venture finds are just - the same every time? What's the point in leveling them up and giving them good gear then??

I'm happy to report that I finally got my mindflayer minion. Still gonna kept sending them though, since I need crafting mats or materia they can snatch. XD

We hope players will enjoy creating back stories for the items found by their retainers.

Okay, let's reason this out.

We all know that our retainers often come back with roofs, walls, furniture and other odds and ends. Once in a while they'll come back with an Ifrit weapon, a mog weapon, or a HQ crafted weapon. I'm pretty sure my level 20ish thaumaturge (at the time) didn't have the ability to defeat Ifrit Hard, and he definitely couldn't HQ a 2-star alchemist weapon. I'm also fairly certain he hasn't done enough PVP to get Warwolf gear. All this in a 1-hour venture, at that.

Therefore, they must be stealing them from other characters (PCs? or maybe there are NPC adventurers). Oh, I know there are plenty of jokes about this, but what other explanation is there? You know how there are rumors that the Thieves' Guild is coming? Actually, they've been here the entire time, under our very noses. The Retainers' Guild is really a front for the Thieves' Guild. That's how they roll.

Sorry to let the coeurl out of the bag.
