I am SO loving the E-mails I get from crafting Hirelings.

GLP323b14_ESO

So... I'm getting back in to ESO again. Well trying to get into it again I should say. Certain annoyances always seem to push me away.

At any rate, I just started for the first time doing the crafting hirelings, and I want to say that the BEST part about these, in addition to the crafting mats, are the E-mail narratives you get along with the materials. I hope they go on for quite some time. I can't imagine they are different E-mails forever.

But yeah, great work on those!

Dude you should read a book sometime

Eventually one hireling will give way for a new one for varying reasons. The only thing I don't like is that sometimes it's unclear and just whoops, new day, new hireling! But otherwise, yes, the notes are awesome! I didn't start reading them initially, so I need to get a hireling on another character so I can see them from the beginning. lol

I do read the books in game. As I have in every Elder Scrolls game.

Love those too. But these E-mails are different. Short and interesting, leaving you wanting to know what the next one will say.

I think Urbek's story was my favourite. At first I really wasn't into it (and not just because the other guy is obnoxious) but the first time he 'smashed' me a letter it genuinely made me laugh and from that point on I was enjoying it. I was disappointed when I got to the end and it didn't really resolve anything - I wanted to know if he got his smashing machine to work properly, how the other orcs reacted, and what his former master thought of it.

But I always read all the hireling mail and I enjoyed the stories. I just wish the change wasn't so abrupt - because I started them relatively late I only got the repeating mail with the last two, so it wasn't clear before that I'd reached the end, one day I'd just suddenly get a mail from a different character and I think that made it harder to get into the new story.

I'd also like them to loop around again when you get to the end, instead of repeating the same mail until they finally add new ones.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes them/pays attention. They're hilarious.

Abnab and Ezdab aren’t brothers, they are one person with a split personality. Just a theory

ArchMikem

Its just regular mail. Tamriel doesn't know what electricity is.

Its magical mail, that’s why they sometimes get interrupted in the middle of writing it.

There are 100-100 mails from 3-3 hirelings for every profession (except Jewelry Crafting). So there are a lot of great reading

I still want to resolve the status of Madame Firi, but I think we will never get that quest in-game

I love these messages as well but didn't pay much attention to them at first and thought they were just, here's your components type messages. Going to start a new character soon so I can start at the beginning.

I'm early in the mails still, but I've yet to figure out Abnab's race.

Pacrooti is certainly Kahjit.

Madam Firilanya is Altmer

Valinka Stormheaver is Nord

But what race is Abnab? Does anyone know, or is it made clear in later mails?

Edit: Changed to say "mail" instead of "E-mail" LOL. Good point.

If I remember correctly he's a redguard.

Ah cool. Thanks.

That will help me better characterize the person (or persons in Abnab's case) I'm hearing about.

Gaeliator

u could actually find NPCs related to the hirelings' story.
FYI. one Redguard girl related to Pacrooti's story (or not, can't remember) is located in Alik'r desert outlaw refuge.

Urbek's story is partly resolved in a book in Shimmerine.

Abnab and his brother are probably Redguards, as I recall.

She is that thief Falah the Eyeful or something like that from Margog the Hammer’s story. That guy who is in a mob dispute with a Khajiit crimelord and a sheriff.

Urbek got it working, and even got a book published in Summerset! Urbek is smashing big things now!

Thank you for that link!

Ah...Gavin Gavonne...I swear, his emails cracked me up the most. And at a time when this stupid female in my guild (I'm a grown ass woman myself by the way) had caused yet another piece of havok, and somehow it was the guy's fault again (funny - 4 guys in a row! All having the same issue! imagine THAT!) that Gavin sent the best email ever:

"Your delivery is enclosed. Is it just me, or does every woman in Tamriel have severe emotional problems?"

I scream-laughed for a while. I didn't delete that email for a week. That chick ultimately got what she deserved BTW. Life finds a way

albesca

They are quite funny, at first I just took the attached mats and deleted them, now I always read them.
My favourite one so far is one by Pacrooti that writes that the Bosmer are all crazy and that he wouldn't do business with them ever again (my main, his employer, is a Bosmer ).

HappyLittleTree

What's this E-mail you're talking about beeko?
My hirelings send crates filled with the most amazing crafting stuff and a letter with it never heard of this email thing?
Could it be Ayleid? The thought of it dries my skin...

"This one has found an additional source of income: He buys Stamina potions at discount prices (...) and sells them (...) to old men with young, energetic wives."

Elwendryll

I have been so disappointed when they started replacing my hirelings one by one. And eventually, Pacrooti's turn came, and I couldn't handle that, I stopped reading these letters.
