Time to figure out what's needed to get max yields on the one hour ventures with level 100 retainers.
Combat
At item level 682: max yield (15) up through level 92 materials. Level 93-95 materials yield 12. Level 96-97 materials yield 10. Level 98-99 materials yield 7. Level 100 materials yield 5.
At 684, yield of 12 extends to level 96 materials but no additional changes
If yield increase is similar to what we saw in EW, I expect max yield for all materials will require around ilvl 695. Will update as I get more gear for my combat retainers.
MIN/BTN
Gathering only needs to be what is listed for the retainer to do the venture. Max gathering currently needed is 3277. Yields are determined by Perception. Max yield is 30 for items from normal nodes and 9 from timed nodes.
I've started with HQ level 100 gear with Guile X in every socket except 1 leg (2nd would exceed Perception cap) for 4662 Perception total. I then filled in that 2nd leg slot with a Guile VII and added an additional Guile X to every piece that would take one. Finally I moved to adding Guile IX.
These cutoffs aren't precise, just where I saw yield increase as I slowly added more materia to a couple of pieces at a time. If others post more precise breakpoints, I'll be happy to update.
up to level 95 materials - max yield of 30.
lvl 96 - 20 / 30 at P-4749
lvl 97 - 20 / 30 at P-4849
lvl 98 - 20 / 30 at P-
lvl 99 - 20 / 30 at P-4924
lvl 100 - 20 / 30 at P-4973
FSH
My retainer is only 99. I'll update after reaching 100 but I would expect the cutoffs will be the number for BTN/MIN minus 1477 (Perception on HQ BTN/MIN offhand)
