How to get the Greener Gleaner Minion in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker

The Greener Gleaner is one of the new minions added in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. With a name inspired by the Gleaners of Sharlayan, this small green blob is the perfect companion as you gather resources in Final Fantasy XIV.

But to get the Greener Gleaner minion, you’ll have to rely on a bit of chance. The minion is a rare item received from a Retainer Exploration mission. During the Woodland Exploration XXVI, or the level 81 Botanist Exploration mission, a Botanist retainer has a chance to find a Greener Gleaner minion.

To send your Retainer on Woodland Exploration XXVI, you’ll need to level your own Botanist job to level 81. Next, you’ll have to ensure your Retainer is level 81, and has at least 1815 Gathering ability from their gear. Then they’re ready for the Woodland Exploration!

Exploration missions take 18 hours. Your Retainer will still be able to sell things on the Market Place during this time but won’t be able to take on any gathering quests. 

The alternative drops from Woodland Exploration XXVI are Allagan Silver Pieces, Dark Hemp, Horse Chestnut Logs, Palm Logs, Palm Syrup, Red Pine Logs, and Snow Flax. As these are almost all Endwalker expansion materials, you’ll be able to sell the excess or use them in your own crafting.

And if you're unable to level a Retainer that high, or don't have a Botanist Retainer, there's always the Market Board. The Greener Gleaner retails for between one million, or several hundred thousand Gil at present, but that's sure to fall as the expansion continues.
