Are Hireling Legendary deliveries a thing of the past?

    I am really beginning to think they did this so they can sell them in the Crown Shop.
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    I think you're right, and they are probably judging the reception that motifs get.

    Well I was just happy to get two daedra hearts this morning from my clothier hireling.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    I'm not seeing a shortage via hirelings, I'm either exceptionally lucky (not likely) or people are crying doom and gloom :p

    Then you did NOT have 3/3 Enchanting Hirelings on (8) Characters with points invested into 3/3 Runestone Extraction on all (8) Characters... Either that or you work for ZoS and are trying to divert attention from the truth. There were many of us that thoroughly tested the changes pre 1.6 and post and the nerf was MASSIVE.

    I have done 4 crafting writs daily (blacksmith, clothing, and woodworking), out of those 4 days I received 2 epic (GOLD color) crafting components. This was since 2 weeks ago.

    BTW I'm only lvl 20 as well.

    I did a respec and only did hirelings in provisioning and enchanting. And enchanting is a gamble. I did get one Kuta from hirelings since 1.6.

    I just got a Tempering Alloy and a Rosin from the same batch of hireling mails.

    Should I go play some slots??

    I get few golds from hirelings, but the majority of my golds come from doing the writs now. Nearly every day this past week I've done enchanting writs, I've gotten a precious lil' Kuta in my box.

    I get a smattering of golds from Hirelings. I do get a good supply of purples though.

    I am seeing Gold tempers from refining, but I have not done enough to see if RNG is favoring me lately or if the drop rate was buffed.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I can asure you all that drop rates for legendary upgrades not only from hirelings but also from refining did take an massive nerf. I have 3 chars with lvl 3 enchanting hireling and during last month i did get only one kuta from them. Also ive refined lots of raw materials and ive recieved about 1 legendary item per 300-400 refined mats. Maybe im wrong but refining materials was mentioned in patch notes to be buffed not nerfed...

    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.

    Yet yesterday I saw in one guild store one seller with 25 Kutas, and another in the same guild with 10.

    Dupe hacks anyone?

    I have seen 100 Kuta's listed prior to 1.6. Back then, if someone had 8 Hirelings in Enchanting at L3, I would expect they would average between 5 and 10 Kutas a day. This is based on my single L3 Hireling who was giving me 4 to 6 Kuta's a week, and there were days when I would get two a day. One 4 day weekend I got 7 of them.

    Its funny, but I don't really miss those days, as the Kutas are not all that much better than Rekuta's in terms of Magic, Stamina or Health Glyphs. Jewelery Glyphs might have some value if your stacking 2 or 3 of them to be Kuta based.

    And yet my single L3 hireling brought me one kuta a month!

    RNG distributed through the population I suppose - for every pauper like me there will be someone who has 100 kuta to spare...

    My experience if hirelings is that they're totally unbalanced across the professions.

    For example, my Blacksmith often gets just one item, 5x ore, nothing else. Sometimes he manages a gem./race ore as well, less than 25% of the time he'll get a third item.

    My enchanter (who is still only 44 but I don't see that making a difference) about 50% of the time doesn't get an Aspect. So far she's had a grand total of 1 Kuta in a month.

    My Woodworker seems to get a steady 3 pretty much every time,.

    In contrast, my Clothier regularly gets at least 4 and not infrequently 6 items; last night she got 2 purple and 2 blue as well as 3 other item slots.

    As for golds, the Clothier is far and away the best, averaging maybe 1 every week (which is total crap of course, numerically!). very rarely 2, while my Blacksmith is lucky to get one a month!
