My retainer found something interesting...

Not with Quick ventures, you only get just over 1k xp on quick ventures but a chance of rare items.
Normal 1 hour Ventures give you more XP in total if you were to spend 18 tokens and load it up every hour for 18 hours... but who woud do that?

In terms of Venture Token cost 18 hour Venture is best for XP but what I do is do 1 hour or quick ventures whilst i'm online and before i finish set them on an 18 hour for the next day, seems to work best.

quick venture exp depend on item retainer got
my lvl 18 retainer got 24k exp for lvl 50 green equipment

Hmm, not that I'm going to debunk your finds immediately but didn't they say venture data was being saved client side? I'm just a little skeptical that perhaps a means of modifying the data has been found so it's possible to modify what is being found. Client side it reads this of course but in reality you're not actually getting those items from your retainer. I'll admit I can be wrong but it just makes me a little suspicious that the data couldn't be modified to show something else even if you aren't getting that in reality.

They were referring to appearance, equipment, and class details. What it means is that if you play on PS3 and PC then you need to summon them once to update the data from the other system. Has nothing to do with items that they bring back.

Got a Darklight Corselet of Aiming yesterday from my retainer. Pretty sweet haul, now that I can't pick and choose which Darklight I want to get anymore.

Mines brought back some pretty useless tuff, though only did quick ones once.

Seems our retainers are a bunch of house elves though. I can only think of Doby...

[Drako]

Anyone know if being geared is effecting the amount of exp earned?

[Sadana]

not if the retainer comes back with titan or something

"Hi Boss! Look what I found!"
RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

[Maero]

Quick exploration my retainers have brought me benches, roof, and map for housing which is great as we are saving up for housing.
Just wonder how my lalafell retainer is carrying it all, lol

That could be cool, if your retainer brought back a primal, it would spawn in the middle of town, and start all table-flipping/mountain bustering everyone around him. That'd be really awesome, but it would have to have like a 2 min timer. Either that or everyone would have to gang up on him and kill him off. This would be even more interesting in limsa city. He could landslide people off into the water, killing you. lol
