Not sure if I want to put in drops just because of how shitty most are. I'll probably do it, just later when I have more time.

Got to the next tier for DoM
Hunting Venture : 1h to complete. Costs 1 token. (Same as before)
6-10 : 4413 xp
Field Exploration : 18h to complete. Costs 2 token. (Same as before)
II: 21000 xp
7-10 for the hunting venture haven't shown up yet so I am assuming they are all the same, like the 1-5 tier. I did one that should have leveled me but I'm still sitting at lvl 6 0/4200 xp making me wonder if there is something capping me out.
(There is, I knew I shouldn't have picked a class I hadn't finished... I can't level GLD past 6 while it's 13 on my character. Looking at my BTN retainer it can go to 50, and changing my other to ACN it can now also go to 50.)
So in other words, WARNING: do not pick a retainer class you don't have at 50, or plan on getting to 50 before you'd like your retainer there.
Other things of note, if you need to get the lvl 1 weapons for your retainer's class if you forgot to save yours then you can buy them from the vendors in the main cities.
Also for venture acquisition it looks like 2 battlecraft leves per level tier reward a venture token, as well as MIN/BTN, I haven't seen any venture tokens for fishing or crafting leves yet.
Pretty sure they mentioned before that it was a possibility of that being so.
Yes, sorry I was a little unclear, I've been up since the servers came up. 2 of the 4 battlecraft leves each level tier now have venture tokens as a bonus reward instead of items. I've also seen venture tokens as rewards for MIN/BTN levequests, but have not seen any tokens being rewarded for FSH/DoH leves yet, or grand company leves.
I have seen ventures come from Fishing Leves (they're basically the only leves I ever do anymore), but in about 18 leves I saw maybe 3 have ventures. Don't know how that compares to other classes but I just browsing the other sections it looks like its a lot less.
Man, why are the Venture tokens inventory items? Should be a currency...
The same reason there's 12 atmas and 40 mirage prisms in the same patch we are allowed to spend money for more space.
So yeah, woke up to these results from quick exploration.
Gonna send them out on a couple more and see if it was a fluke, but right now I'm thinking quick might be the way to go if you don't want specific drops from hunting. These two are both DoW/DoM classes btw.
What level retainers?
Level 10, both of them.
I went the 18 hour Route: Retainers went from 1-5 after the first one
Fishing:
“1 Waterside Exploration I” is now complete.
You obtain 5 Allagan bronze pieces.
You obtain a piece of white coral hq.
Lancer:
“1 Field Exploration I” is now complete.
You obtain 6 Allagan bronze pieces.
You obtain a pot of honey hq.
Mara:
“1 Field Exploration I” is now complete.
You obtain 6 Allagan bronze pieces.
You obtain a ram horn hq.
Tham:
“1 Field Exploration I” is now complete.
You obtain 5 Allagan bronze pieces.
You obtain 2 ram horns hq.
Gotta update when I get to work but Yea, bought 100 ventures using dl
I also have been doing quick ventures. Lots of furnishings, it's gonna flood market.
I haven't seen the exp returns that Rokku did.
edit: In fact, the exp returns have been less than 1k multiple times. If you are doing quick ventures, it's a straight up gamble that the return is worth the two ventures (quick ventures cost two instead of one), because from an exp basis, two one-hour ventures would be better exp definitely.
Yeah, it looks like those two at the same time were a fluke of the highest order. The majority of what I've gotten across the last handful of quick ventures has been at worst a single Eye of Ice and at best a couple odd furnishings that yield about 2k EXP for the retainer.
I'm hesitant to post it as such but I'm assuming that the various explorations that don't have level ranges still have a hidden level range to them since it would be pretty annoying if your level 50 retainer does a field exploration and comes back with a ram horn.
By the way, so quick exploration, what's people low/high exp range? I need to edit that in.
I got a 993 from one quick exploration at level 10.
Apparently when you replace the weapon of a retainer, the old weapon/gear disappears. I can't find it on my retainer or in my inventory. Anyone wanna tell me what I'm overlooking?
