Challenge log needs a bit of reworking

Explain retainer exploration ventures to me... You need 15 in a week, quick explorations don't count and to send a retainer on 2 takes longer than a day. So, even sending 2 retainers constantly on long explorations, you can't complete this unless you pay for a 3rd. I did it only for extra storage, but making this goal require you to make the extra retainer purchase to complete is really sketchy to me. I agree totally that this needs a fix.

It can be done, it's just not easy and have little time for error.

Math:
7 * 24 = 168 hours in a week
15 * 18 = 270 hours to complete 15 ventures
270 / 2 = 135 hours with 2 retainers.
33 hours left for "in-between"

So it is possible, just not feasible.

Your math is a little off (on the 270 / 2 line) because you can't split the 15th venture between both of your retainers. You'd have to do 7 on one and 8 on the other, so that should have been the first rather than the last part of the equation. It still comes out to 144 hours needed and 168 available so it's technically possible, but that's only if you're available to be online at all hours of the day and night for the entire week. None of the other challenges require that sort of dedication. In fact, most can be done in a day or two if you focus on them. So I still think they need to change the requirement to 14 runs.

Yeah, I sleep for 8 hours and work for about the same, plus dinner and all that lovely stuff life throws around. The window of time to do this is terribly small, and the timing just doesn't work out since the hour you need to be around to send out your retainers would constantly be changing into the time spaces I have to set aside for sleep or work.
