Wanted to get a discussion going about what is the necessary iLvl and Gathering is for retainers to get the "Your retainer's current gear improves the chance of receiving rare items" message.

I haven't tried on my Battle retainers yet since 4.1's dropped, but I have this information at the moment:

928 Gathering on BTN retainer still gives "With better gear..." message
703 Gathering on FSH retainer still gives "With better gear..." message

Any other contributions would be awesome, let's get the breakpoints figured out. I will be crafting and gearing up my retainers further today so I will probably be adding on to this.
