    18 hours for this....

    So I got my retainer's gathering up high enough to do the highest tier exploration and she brings me back 3 darksteel ore....Yeah count them, 3. What was she doing for the other 17 hours and 58 minutes?

    Seriously this really need to be reworked a little. She should have brought back a stack of them at least lol.

    Working as intended.

    Use quick ventures if you want something more rare.

    At least they didn't bring back 3 HQ cat skins or meat. 9/10 that's what my retainers bring for me. I'll take dark steel ores over that any day.

    Yes, including the new dyes that were just added.

    Okay well thats completely backwards then. The quick venture should be bringing back the 3 measly ores and the Field exploration for 18 hours should be the one bringing back the rares...

    Field explorations are extremely consistent and have a fairly small loot pool. Quick ventures can be ANYTHING, hence the large gamble. If anything, field exploration should just be used for leveling up your retainer or getting the same loot for chump change.

    Retainers are retarded, high land exploration is only useful if you are trying to get exclusive minions like the mini mine cart.

    On the other hand, you can go through 90 venture coins across 4 retainers using quick exploration to get nothing of value at all, when all you want is a new dye. The dyes need to become sellable or retainers need to take like 20 venture coins, go out for 2 days and come back with some dyes or something.
