Retainer Compendium -- My Retainer out-dps' pugs

[Hellfury]

To add a little to the list:

Miner 58: Cloud Mica, Raw Carnelian
Miner 59: Raw Citrine, Aurum Regis Sand
Miner 60: Wyrm Obsidian, Raw Chrysolite

Botanist 55: Magma Beet, Dark Chestnut Branch
Botanist 56: Coneflower

[Shenrien]

The botanist retainer not being able to gather dark chestnut logs is pretty sad.

[Rehn]

They can.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Anything that isn't Hidden or unspoiled is fair game. Which leaves out Birch and Titanium among notable non-unspoileds.

They actually can gather them.

Can a Retainer get Dusk Lether for the Tabard craft in the lvl 55 field exploration ?

[Kirbyprime]

Anything in my list is just mats that are confirmed by someone to be able to dropped. Since no one told me you can get dark chestnut logs =( ( and what level ) I can't put them in.

I put them in my blurb about 51-54 I thought. If not, 54.

I typo'd it as "Dark Chestnut Lug" which you copied :3

Dark Chestnut Log is lvl54 Retainer Venture.

To add the rest since they seem to be missin off the OP:

56- Coneflower
57- Sesame seeds, Cow Bitter
58- Birch Branch, Rue
59- Birch sap, Dandelion, Coriander
60- Gaelicatnip.


Everything post lvl55 seems to be mostly useless :/

Before I buy another retainer slot - are the new jobs options for retainers, or is it just the 2.X classes?

Also, are there any known new items from levels 51+ for Quick Exploration? I'm a casual scrub after the rare dyes, really, so maybe it's not an issue that I won't be leveling the current classes my retainers have beyond 50.

They only get classes. So they can rogue, but not DRK/AST/MCH.

No new dyes in dats or preview screen, so nothing new there. Since there's still no shrub seedlings on mb I'm guessing lv 60 btn 18-hr ventures but who knows.

[Clash Perez]

Thanks.

Do we know highest tier of gathering retainers need for their normal farming / 18hr ventures?

Wasnt high at all, both of my btn were able to hit it with dhalmel NQ I believe, will double check in a few.

59 1hr Ventures: 401G
lvl60 1hr ventures: 405G
18hr XVIII exp:388G

[Shaano]

Well damn retainer is sittin pretty with more than enough stats in my old foragers gear.

[Luthia]

I did a couple of LvlXVIII exps... got same old shit as before. Maybe wasted about 3/4 days on those before going back to having them spam hourly ventures.

[Hellfury]

Was it ever determined if stats beyond ilvl mattered for the combat retainers?

[Raldo]

There's no indication that I've seen, so I commonly give my combat retainer wrong-stat accessories.

[Niiro]

SE has never stated nor has there ever been any indication that anything other than ilvl matters for them.

[Prothescar]

Has anyone here gotten a Gestahl yet? If so, which retainer brought it in?
