Stuffed Alpha

Now the venture I really hate is the single water crystal. For the same venture cost I could send you out for at least 50 and you bring me one?! lol

My all time favorite thing I ever got from a Quick Venture was, back in the days before ventures were a currency and you had to keep stacks in your inventory, my retainer brought me back... a Venture.

Your retainers probably found a mine full of 'em.

"Ho hum, ho hum, I'll find some trinkets for the WoL.. wow, what in the world is that?! Toys hanging off the ceiling? Toys embedded in the walls? And they're all Stuffed Alphas? Now that is special! I'm sure the WoL will love them, and I'll bring a funny story home too! Should mark this cave on my map for any repeat visits..."

I now have the vision of a pile of Stuffed Alphas sitting out in the wild somewhere from being discarded by vendors because they had more than they could sell, retainers finding it and grabbing one when they run out of time on a venture, only for it to get tossed back by vendors because they don't sell, only for retainers to find them again.....

Now we need a way to mark them so we can determined if they're being recycled.

It's gonna be the Garfield phones all over again....

This happens when the retainer rolled an unique item that you already have in your inventory, you can't have two of that item, so the game replaces it with a crystal because you can carry that.

Oh I didn’t know that! But still, give me 50! LOL

Kinda honestly starting to wonder what the point even is of sending quick ventures out. It's all dungeon gear I could just go farm on my own, or actual trash I can't even use. Is there anything actually good in quick venture loot? Do retainers have to be max level/geared to even get said potentially good loot?

Depends how much you value dungeon loot (and your sanity when you're going for certain pieces). I find it useful because I can be acquiring pieces from the annoying endgame dungeons that don't have any guarantee of a piece at the end, so every extra chance is appreciated.

There's also the small number of venture-exclusive items like the Onion pieces, if you care about those, though they're not really exciting pieces.

I think you do need to be max level to get the venture coffers containing rare dyes, though.
