My retainer found something interesting...

[Kat_Manx]

So my retainer brought back and Explorer's Ring. I've seen others bring back stuff like Explorer's Tabard and Stonewall Choker. Now these were old 1.0 items that are no longer obtainable in ARR, right? Same for random seasonal things like the confetti. I also recently got a Magicked Prism (Indigo Star) which is from some Hyrstmill event from 1.0 that may or may not ever happen again. So am I correct in assuming that, while the patch notes said there were no items unique to Quick Exploration, the fact that these are obsolete 1.0 items effectively means Quick Exploration IS the only way to get them now? And what other 1.0 things might they bring back? The Darkligh Raider gear like Thormoen's Subligar? Dalamud Horns? Odd bits and bobs of obsolete crafting mats?

Explorer's stuff for real? I'd love those items!

I want dat der Explorer's Calot. I love those goggles (like an old-fashioned pilot's cap) and I would glamour the hell out of that thing. The silly Forager's Hat would never be seen even for a moment on my head.

I got a good III materia yesterday. Put it up on sale, and sold almost instantly.... But I left out one "0" so that really sucked.

Aside from that, my two retainers basically went fishing for 5 hours. C'mon - bring back another wall or something interesting.

I've gotten quite a bit of good stuff.

Moogle couch
a few floor lamps of various types
countless roofs and walls
the new iLv 70 armor pieces for several jobs
Magicians hat and shoes

I spent 30k seals on ventures since I kept capping while grinding for ATMA so I have noticed that the best stuff comes from the quick exploration

My retainer ran through Brayflox NM the other day and nabbed a hat. It made me wonder... for these items that are unique, what happens if my retainer brings back something I have in my inventory already?

You don't actually get the item until you claim it from the report so I would hope we can simply close the report, store the item we already have on the retainer's inventory, then claim the item from the report. A few times though I've had my retainer bring back nothing but a single 25 gil allagan coin so I'm not sure if there was supposed to be something else with that...

My retainer just bought back a Glazenut seed

My retainer brought me a phoenix down. Then I pictured him saying, "You're going to need this..." while giving me a creepy smile.

Okay so my level 13 Conjurer retainer just gave me a Darklight Bracelet of Healing :-) My main is White Mage so this was particularly useful. This brings my most useful/valuable list so far to:

- HQ Darksteel Chain Coif
- HQ Wildling's Cesti
- NQ Carpenter's Gloves
- Darklight Bracelet of Healing
- Coliseum Subligar

But also lots of junk in there too.
