Dear Zenimax: Please FIX Provisioning Hirelings.

taylorwilenskiub17_ESO
I have been level 50 in provisioning since Early Access. In that time I have received a grand total of 10 tomatoes and 6-10 oats. In TWO MONTHS time this is ALL I have received.

Tomatoes and Oats need to be made more in-line with legendary mats. As it stands these two items are the rarest crafting materials in the game.

You can acquire legendary mats from both your hirelings and refining raw materials.

However, you can ONLY get tomatoes and oats through your hireling...and the hireling has a terrible, terrible, terrible return rate. 2 months of gaming and I've only gotten 10 of each material? How does that make any logical sense?

You also can't buy tomatoes and oats because no provisioner will sell them.

    I'd rather post 100 duplicates and get Zenimax to pay attention.

    Good luck on that if you haven't noticed the Mods don't come here often.

    Why you may ask? Its because this area is for players to discuss crafting etc, its not a x doesn't work. If you want more attention your better off posting in the General area which appears to have more Mod activity.

    There are more than just those 2 rare ingredients:
    Pepper, Oats, Tomato, Saaz Hops, Canis Root and Jazbay Grapes.*

    You should count these too in your "statistic".

    BUT, what i think is that ppl really want is rare ingredients for recipes they actually got or ingredients for recipes they WANT to cook...
    That's a huge difference.

    Are you still old school or yet unprogressive?

    Pepper, Saaz Hops, Canis Root, and Jazbay Grapes are all lootable and I come across them fairly often. Nothing is wrong with these ingredients because they are rare and should be more difficult to find...tomatoes and oats however, only come from your hirlings and you can only get them once a day. The rate at which you obtain them from your hirelings is the problem...
