Retainer Ventures ......... any luck with minions since the new gather tiers?

[Nadrojj]

Hey guys, I've been running the xiv and xv gathers with my retainers for well over a month now with not a single minecart/littlefoot to report. I was wondering if anyone else is having terrible luck with their ventures, or if anyone is having better luck with the higher ventures fetching back minions. My fisher just dinged 48 only a few more days before I can start fishing for a fat cat, super excited! Anyways my question is, what ventures are you running and are you seeing a good amount of minions or are you getting skunked like I am?

I did whatever the highest botany expedition was when Littlefoot came out and somehow got it on the first try Haven't tried to get another one though.

Got littlefoot and fat cat from exploration XVI. I got fat cat once per patch only

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm wondering if the ninja'd the minion drops to the higher tiers without saying anything because I have done ventures every day since path and still nothing.

I got 1 little foot on XIV after like 3 weeks.

I haven't had a minecart minion and been trying solidly

Off topicish but my ilvl100 ventures only bring back the same crap as the lower ones. Probably done about 40 of them always hippo skin or a crap housing item.

I got a Littlefoot the other day from my retainer - though it's from the 383 gathering level, which is 3rd highest one I think? Neither of my DoL are geared enough for best or 2nd best ventures.
