Retainer: has their drop rates been messed with?

[Atieno]

I have 9 retainers and have sent them continuously on 1 hour quick exploration ventures... what they're bringing back is just a bit off from previous experience.

I'm getting Stuffed Bom Boko and Stuffed Alpha insanely regularly, (yes i know bom boko is new) yet ive received 0 venture boxes - so zero dyes. This is after literally hundreds of ventures, yet i can recieve 3 bom bokos from 3 different retainers returning at the same time.

Did they remove dyes from the venture pool rewards or am i alone in experiencing this?

[Mirhd]

Seems about the same to me; fairly certain I got some dyes when EW started (though never common for me in general), and they've always brought me back too many bloody Alphas. :/

[DezereDawn]

I've been consistently getting Stuffed Alphas for ages prior to 6.0, this doesn't scream anything new to me at all tbh, i'm only running the base 2 though so my sample size is likely smaller than someone with nearly 10 for however long

Probably need to be max level and geared again for "rare" rewards like always.

[Avatre]

One of my retainers has only brought back the Stuffed Bom Boko, so I definitely thing the tables have been messed up a bit.

[Moerser]

I dont think so.
My experience (9 retainers) did not change at all.
Its rng and i didnt get many dyes at all...since i started the game.
But i think thats okay.
I can play regulary, have nearly no issues with my game, no bugs, no direct X whatever, no unreal queue bla bla bla.
My retainers went out many times since EW release.
Just so u know im not trashtalkin.

Greetz,
Mörser out

I didn't get any boxes either. Now that my retainers have hit 90 and are OKish equipped, I get them just as regular as before.

[Vahlnir]

I haven't gotten any venture coffers since Endwalker began, but my retainers aren't max level yet. Hopefully that'll change by then.

[Hasrat]

Man, I haven't used any ventures in so long, I'm shocked that my retainers aren't bringing back bits of kelp and level 1 fish.

same. not 1 venture coffer since launch. also, not max retainer levels. (anymore) 9 retainers, half on quick ex

not even sending them out as much until they are max or the drop rates change.
