Im only getting 1 hireling chest a day?

The tooltip says I should be at least getting 4 every day 2 from my miner and 2 from my clothier, but I'm only getting 1 from each every day, what's the deal?

    What tooltip gives that idea? It's not the case and never has been.

    @KerinKor: with 3 points in the hireling skill, you get one chest every 12 hours instead of every 24 hours.

    @ArgonianAssassin: You need to login every 12 hours to get 2 chests.

    You have to log in twice each day to get chests twice each day. You can't just log in once a day and get all 4 chests. They pop every 12 hours, but it's timed as being 12 hours from when you got the last one. If you pick up a chest from each hireling at 7 am, the next one will pop at 7 pm. If you don't log in again until, say, 9am the next morning, you are picking up the chest you were supposed to pick up at 7 pm the night before. It's not 4 every 24 hours, it's 2 every 12. That's what is confusing you. I'll also say that this particular side effect of the hirelings is not documented very well. The tooltip is somewhat vague and does not explain the way the chests are actually delivered. They probably need to fix that.

    Didn't see those threads, I've just been collecting my hireling chests and had to double check to make sure it did say I should be getting 2 every day, I'm not, so I decided to make a thread about it.

    Unfortunately, that seems to be the case. After reclaiming my soul, I decided to start a second character. I played it for a few days, and then I remembered my hirelings on my main character. I was looking forward to reading up on how the 2 idiot brothers were doing and getting some nice supplies, so I logged my main character. I received 1 mail from each hireling only. :'(

    Yeah, I realised that, I thought the OP was expecting them to stack up.

    I've noticed that if I log out and switch characters, my hireling deliveries arrive as I enter the world. I think it might be an email latency. Try logging out and back in every 6 hours or so, you will see them.

    It does not take all day to log in and claim loot. Even if you may do it twice. @ArgonianAssassin‌

    I play at nights, I tend to claim my hireling bags at midnight, I can't login at 12 p.m. to claim them in the afternoon.
