Has it been determined if stats even matter for non DoL retainers outside of raw ilvl? I'd imagine that aside from the left side, right can be w/e you want it to be. So casting gear on a BRD, tank gear on a BLM, etc.

I've put all my Retainers in crafting gear as they've leveled up: all the DoM/W armor spiked in price presumably because of retainers, but the crafting gear was the same price as ever.
What lvl is your Retainer? My retainer brought me back an odin mantle at about lv20 and got 90k+ exp
Level 27.
Am I the only one who thinks SE fucked up and have the loot tables for quick/exploration ventures swapped for what they intended?
Not really.
Exploration was supposed to bring in gil (allagan pieces) and a generic item.
Quick was all-out roulette.
Retainer capped on EXP -> brings ifrit bow worth 162,000 EXP.
FML.
I'm sure people have already made such threads.
while I was doing animus books, I was needing on low lvl gear for my retainer.
Luckily, now that the retainer is lv50... I can swap all my unused healer gear to it, pushing my retainer toward the ilvl80+ ranges for the ell of it O_o
No one wants to hear your sob story sath, all the amazing shit your retainers bring you and i'm over here with buckets of rotten fish.
Got a gargoyle from retainer worth 200k. Guess someone does AK at least.
Retainer got 165k exp last night when it brought me back a Moogle Fork. Thankfully I needed that and had farmed Moogle for ages in the past with it never dropping, so thanks Based Retainer <3
My gladiator retainer just brought me back an ifrit axe... I think she's trying to tell me something.
my retainer has never brought me anything aside from furniture and fish. i think she may be broken
I wish hunting/gathering venture exp was just based on the retainer level and not the item.
So many stretches where there's just nothing at all useful for them to bring back but you have to choose from the small list of useless junk because it gives more exp.
Has anyone noticed any correlation between ilvl and the number of HQ items brought back from hunting?
I keep my DoL retainer's Perception as low as possible to avoid HQs but I'd like to avoid them on my DoW ones as well.
I tried dropping their ilvl to the minimum required for a given hunt but it's hard to notice any significant difference.
