Hey does anyone know if they are broken? I put a point in the blacksmith one Sunday and I have yet to receive an email from him. Only mail I received was the preorder gift email on the first day.

    When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

    Hopefully the maintenance fixes this issue.

    I don't think the hireling is really worth the skill point, better to use the skill point elsewhere. It might get better the higher the level you are?

    It is RNG so what you get will vary. My first one for Blacksmith was 3 ore but my Cloth guy got a purple temper on the first package. It showed up 24 hours after taking the perk for both of them.
    Nothing is impossible... there are only differing degrees of probability.

    They turned the mail box system off temporarily - forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/64136/notice-in-game-mail#latesthttp:// I would assume that means hirlings are turned off as well.

    Not as useful as they were in beta, they seemed to be turned down or more likely in beta using one skill point was taking it to the second level.

    yeah i find the hirelings are a bit broken at the moment. i have recaived one mail from him and the item would not show in my inventory for over an hour. i dont remember what it was but it was worthless. but over a long time the items i get will hopefully be worth the one skill point. i will not put another in though.

    Before they taken down the in-game mail I had received two mails from my hireling (blacksmith). First time I got some Iron ore and 2 trait stones, second time I got some High Iron ore (something like that) and another 2 trait stones. I expect that their value will increase with more skillpoints. Nothing fancy but I don't think I wasted a point there.

    I have mine for woodworking and I have gotten two packages from it, it seems to be on a 20-24 hour cooldown.

    Spread across my alts I have a total of 8 hirelings, I have received a total of 3 sacks.... I had 4 hirelings on day one... I am afraid the hirelings are on strike or something...

    I have gotten 6 mails before mail went down (1 for Blacksmithing/Clothing/Woodworking) over 2 days.

    What you get is pitiful compared to Beta and yeah, not sure worth the points.

    It says in the description that it is a once every 24 hour deal.
