Retainer Quick Ventures

This is a post about quick ventures and the loot acquired from them. I'm aware that normal retainer missions have stat requirements.

Gear does not affect the rarity of what your retainer brings back from a quick venture, only quantity.

I'm pretty sure my retainers loaf around until the last minute then either mug someone playing a gathering job or just tear a piece of someone else's house off before coming back when I send them on Quick Ventures...

Mao gets lots good stuffs from retainers doing quicks ventures. Mao gets dyes regularly now and sometimes Mao's favorite gears like the Manusya accessories. Everythings else goes to buyings more GCs which Mao uses to buys either more ventures or mats that Mao can sell for Gils. Mao doesn't use retainers for gatherings anymore because Mao can gathers faster and can gathers top tier stuffs like aethersands that retainers can't gathers.

Honestly I’m convinced the onion gear isn’t even in the loot pool. I’ve done quick ventures since 2.X and have yet to see a single piece of it nor any of the other pieces from that list. I’ve also never had anyone I know in game obtain a piece of the onion gear. Are we absolutely sure it’s even still obtainable? Legitimate question, this has been bugging me for years haha. But the stuffed bom bokos? Hundreds. Maybe even thousands. They make such great vendor trash hehe.

Actually, it still is - after years of never seeing the Onion Gear appear myself, my very first retainer brought back Onion Pattens (the feet) from Quick Ventures when I first logged back in the day servers went back after the most recent patch, so that confirms Onion gear is still in the loot table for Reatiner Quick Ventures. It just has a very very low drop rate alas.

Gear might no longer affect it but retainer level will. Someone who wants to farm the gear may want to reset retainer level once it hits a certain point to keep the loot table from exploding in size. It doesn't take very long to get a retainer to level 40ish using the 18 hour ventures (and can be faster using quick ventures depending on how long someone is online each day).

It might actually be interesting to see just what a low level retainer can bring back from quick ventures.
