The time to collect would also reduce proportionally with a minimum (like 5 minutes). It would still cost one venture, no matter the number selected for collection but it would give the player control for the number they get.

This change would help crafters inventory issues.
If you need that few of an item, why are you even sending your retainer to get it? Just go gather it yourself. It shouldn't take you more than 2-3 minutes to gather the 50 a retainer would bring back, and even less time if you only need a few.
