Provisioning Hireling - Raw Materials?

firstdecan

I have two toons with a provisioning hireling. About two weeks ago, one of them started sending mails with the subject "Raw Materials." The other still sends mail with the subject "Getting Groceries." Just seems like a bit of weirdness, and a curiosity. How does the mail subject change, but only for one character's hireling?

standard rant: This is game breaking and I can't believe how I am supposed to continue to play, how am I supposed to organize my in game mail when the subjects aren't properly listed. This is the final straw that will cause me to unsub unless the issue is immediately fixed, and I get a Shetland Pony.

About that standard rant - it was sarcasm.

I think the Shetland Pony will be no problem, but the mailsubject?? idk man, that's kind a hard to change, don't you think?

While the poster seems to have snorted to much hay. There is something that could be said better. With the lack of bank space, us crafter/hoarders with our hirelings would like that fixed. My provision mule is just to mule all provisions was easier to see them and unmail them onto the right mule.

Crazy as that sounds it works and the some say groceries and some do not is a shame. Because they did before, someone in programming failed at their job. They should fix their error.

Would be nice if hireling mail would list as
Groceries
Enchanter supplies
Black smithing
Woodworking supplies
Clothing materials

I don't care what they call the darned mail - this one just needs salt badly! I haven't seen salt in a hireling mail for ages.

I recently started leveling my alts hirelings and the mail has been so random lately. Sometimes i get 3 at a time per character, sometimes its a big fat goose egg.

I thought it was hireling mail every 12 hours (after last sign in), but now i have no clue what's going on....

I don't have much time to play during the week, but i like to sign in before work every morning to check mail and start research etc... The last week or so the mail has just been so erratic.

Get a Dartmoor Pony instead,about the same size, and moor friendly.

You need Salt?, I have almost two stacks of the stuff.

Back to the OP, yes, the Provisioning Hireling should say Groceries

I need pepper!!!! it's the only thing I almost never find. I have salt, wheat, oats,... dozens of them, but no pepper it's ridiculous

Really, I find it quite often, Red Wheat too.

Tomatoes on the other hand I only see on the guild vendors.

I need salt but I have a ton of tomatoes and potatoes - anyone want to do Fishmas swapsies with this one?

This one encourages wenxue to visit dewmer ruins. Wenxue will find salt and pepper, lots of water and maybe a Dwemer page.

This one also finds salt in other tombs. It is less disturbing than finding beef...

I just got my groceries on another character who is not a provisioner last night. Go figure.

You can collect the mails from any character, you just need to log in as the relevant character to generate the mail in the first place.

No, its not suppose to come in until that character is logged on. I logged a different character and it came to that character. I never see mails to my blacksmither on my provisioner and vise verser.

There might be some weirdness, as I did not get my Enchanter Hireling mail this morning, but the same character got their blacksmithing email.

What I meant is that the mail is generated when you log in with that character, but any character can collect it.

What I was presuming happened is either you had been playing with the correct character earlier (even if you a few seconds) or you had missed a mail from the previous day (presuming you haven't got it on twice a day).

If it was generated by logging in with a different character, first check you haven't got that hireling with the other character, and if you haven't, then submit a bug report, because something will be malfunctioning.

Im pretty certain that the non-provisioner generated the mail - I got the "ding" and it was there. But I have been wrong before and you may be correct in what actually happened - I will see if it happens again before I submit a ticket.

Well if you got the audio "Ding" then it was generated by that alt, sounds like a new bug to watch out for. Oh joy

I don't think I could handle bugs in my provisioning supplies. Yuck!

And why can't I cook the fish I catch?

It's simple: The original set of mails from Gavin (I think) Gavonne were named "Getting Groceries". After his story ends, you start getting them from Nonette and these newer ones have been dubbed "Raw Materials", probably to be more consistent with the other hirelings.

If you are getting both versions, the char that gets "Getting Groceries" mails hasn't employed hirelings as long and is still on the first of currently two stories.

Been asked many times, no significant answer.

This makes sense. I'll have to check that next time my mails come through.

I believe fish will finally be in recipes with the provisioning revamp in 1.6.
