So snippet from OF says that the Mindflayer minion is a rare drop from the XIII field exploration.

Theres another post in the Dev Tracker that says Taffeta cloth and Light Steel are also rare drops from "high field exploration"

**Kirbyprime** · 2014-04-15 08:46

Just waiting on more info as to which one it drops from. I mean, I assume it's from XIII expo, but would rather have confirmation.

**Deadgye** · 2014-04-15 08:50

Taffeta cloth has been MIA for too long despite my lazy efforts to find it, so it coming from there would make sense.

From the OF:

Both Taffeta Cloth and Lightsteel Plates can be obtained by sending your retainers on high level field exploration ventures.

Nice find. Gonna try to sell that or have you popped it? Only one on the market on Tonberry. I'm sure someone will empty their wallet for it.

Already down to 250k at Masamune, so i just popped it lol

**Gulkeeva** · 2014-04-16 09:08

Got a question, unsure if anyones tried/answered.

Once your retainer is 50, can you change it to another class without losing the levels it has gained?

Example
Lv50 botany -> change retainer to Lv1 miner
If I change retainer back to botany, will it be lv50 botany and not Lv1?
Didn't want to "jsut try it" since it says reset, like its going to reset levels or something O_o

**Niiro** · 2014-04-16 09:11

Reset means reset, if you change classes you lose all previously gained levels.

Your retainer will be a lvl 1 BTN if you change them to MIN and try to change back.

Funny that they added this feature in this way and also added extra retainers for a fee in the same update. What a coincidence!

**Amiricle** · 2014-04-16 09:14

No, stupidly, it's a full reset. I tried that when retainer was level 5 cause i was curious too. Changed back and class was level 1 again.

**Hiroishime** · 2014-04-18 03:03

For some reason my Ilvl80 field exploration isn't showing up anymore, i could have swear there was ilvl80 because i geared my retainer to that level..

**Venussama** · 2014-04-18 06:43

What do people recommend as the fastest way to level these up?

I've been told it's the hunting that gives the best venture to exp ratio. Then I just do the long ones when I'm offline!
