    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.

    I'd be more happy about the exp than the item tbh.

    Am I the only one who thinks SE fucked up and have the loot tables for quick/exploration ventures swapped for what they intended?

    I'm not sure where they fucked up exactly but there are some irregularities. For example, my retainer brought back a Botanist Doublet that needs lvl5o to craft and it only gave me 3ok EXP whilst lower lvl items 44..etc give me 12o-15oK exp.

    Not really.

    Exploration was supposed to bring in gil (allagan pieces) and a generic item.

    Quick was all-out roulette.

    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

    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

    I have the same dumb biotch. She stupid. I'm about to just reset her anyways didn't realize they couldn't level past your class level.

    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.
