My combat retainer brings 5 leather per hour, which means 15k gil or a bit more.
It depends on your retainer item level. If you gear him up he brings 10 skins per 40 minutes.
And with 9 retainers its 90 skins per 40 minutes.

Heh, I don’t even have any green lvl80 eq myself, so I doubt my retainer ever gets that good stuff. Maybe in the end of ShB, when skins will cost nothing alteady… hehe.

Well, I guess this part is completely out of question for me š With 9 retainers you have to pay what, 2x more monthly for each account? With that much money one could just buy gil instead! š
Retainers are extremely crappy bots. Let’s calculate…
Let’s assume each more or less equipped retainer brings you 10 leathers per hour. 10 per 40 mins is out of question, I think: FWIK, it requires raid eq, and nobody would invest that much time to equip retainers (and even if they do, by the time this task is completed, Sea skins will cost much like Gazelles in SB). So, that’s 90 leathers. Each leather costs 2k now; in a month prices will go down to 1k or so (and I think there is no point to train retainers for just a single month per each 2 years). So, that’s 90k gil hourly. Though, re-sending retainers requires real time – the time I spend farming (no idea how much, but let’s assume that’s 3 mins per 9 retainers); also it costs ventures (and, honestly, I have no idea where are you going to get that much ventures, but ok). Ventures means GC seals; each GC seal lost is about 5 gil lost, or 1k gil per venture. So, your profit compared to mine would be 90k – 9k (ventures) – 30k (after a month my profits will go down to normal 10k per minute or so again, I assume) = 51k per hour, or 612k daily (I assume that no sane person would bot for more than 12 hours a day), or about 18 mil monthly. Each retainer costs $2 per month, right? So basically you buy 18 mil for $14.
Now, know what? I’d never pay $14 for 18 mil gil š Moreover, I’d gladly sell my own gil at about $1 per mil, hehe!
My retainers already bring me 10.
How the heck?? We are talking about endgame (Sea Swallow) skins, right?
Those numbers look kinda random. My retainers already bring me 10. Raid gear is not even released yet. And my actual profit is of course much higher than you calculated.
But ok i dont pay your sub.
Wow I legit Lol’d at this haha.
Yeah the ilvl for retainers to bring max yield/time is i425, nowhere close to raid gear (and certainly achievable atm).

Current trash tome (goeatia) Gear is i440. Furthermore, you can get a free i430 set from the job trainer if you already completed his quest.

How the heck (2)? The best craftable combat gear atm is ilvl415. Mkay, you can receive one set of blue gear via a quest. I’d never let my retainer have it, as I need it myself; but ok, you can do it. But then again, how do you equip 9 retainers in ilvl425 eq at THIS moment?…

Dump the i430 set on your retainer, go talk to the guy again, ??????, profit.

o_O Incredible… but that’s prolly bug exploit (= bannable), no? I mean, it’s just too good to be true AND intended by SE!
It’s not a bug. It’s completely legit to do so.
Let’s say Stormblood tools were still the best tools. If you had 8 miner retainers, you could also go to the Calamity Salvager, buy a Blessed Mineking’s Pickaxe (if you have the achievement for gathering everything once), equip it to your retainer, go to the Calamity Salvager again, buy another one, equip it to your next retainer and so forth. It’s completely legit.
It was always like that with Artifact Gear. Once you obtained it via quest progression in any expansion you can throw it away and purchase mutiple copies from Calamity Salvager. Its unsellable and you cant convert it to seals. So theres no exploit.
Thats something incredible new to me, i am ashamed to say,
where do i get this LvL 80 Stuff in shadowbringer? I have completed MSQ and jobquest. Where do i have to go to get this Equipment?

Incredible (2)! Well, I guess now I get your point concerning using retainers, hehe… Not that I’m going to buy 7 more retainers myself (as I’m greedy, and they are pain in da arse to level up, and you still have to grind insane amounts of GC seals somehow), but still. Thanks!
The Tempest (34.3 , 25.6) for the gear.
