I have the standard 2 retainers, both max level, one WHM and one MNK. For some reason one of them has given me venture coffers quite a bit more frequently tan the other and is and in game indicator that correlates, despite that indicator being seemingly incorrect.
My WHM retainer, despite hitting max level maybe 5 days ahead of the MNK, has given me 2 venture coffers to the MNKs 7 or 8 and the game shows me that when the MNK completes a quick venture it continues to say "<Name>'s gear level was high enough to attain a greater reward" and it does not say this for the WHM. This makes no sense because the MNK retainer has worse gear than the WHM at avg ilvl 692 instead of 690. It has more dungeon "green" gear pieces (some even 672) mixed in with some Neo Kingdom gear. The only thing that I can think of that might be bugged is the WHM has much of the 99/100 AF armor (Piety) set equipped on the left hand side, but supposedly it really is ilevel 690, and either way the avg ilvl is still higher.
The questions are: what's up with the game itself thinking the MNK is good to go, but not my WHM?
And does crossing this "tier" of having the game see your retainer is geared enough increase your changes of getting venture coffers? Either way, soon enough I'll get aethetic tomestones today and slap them on that WHM healer to see if the game decides to believe it's geared and update here.
