Great Mail From Material Gatherers.

JusticeForJilarga

Have you seen any particularly great mail from the Material Gathers lately? Here's this one's favorite today.

Hallothiel

My favourite hireling is Zukki-dar.

Sarky, grumpy and amusing. Very well written. (One of the best phrases - “currently in the planning stages of a monumental hangover” - but there are many others)

Mettaricana

Haven't gotten new mail from them in ages just same message about runningnoff to join circus every single day

I stopped reading them a while ago. After resetting the story to start reading them, I was actually enjoying them for a while. Some plot twists. Some funny moments.

Until for some reason they reset themselves again, cutting with the previous hirelings and starting a new story with others I had never seen before. I didn't respec or anything so I have no idea what happened.

Now I am back to not bothering reading them at all. Which is a shame because there was some effort involved into writing those.

Major_Lag

These messages are a very good reason to put at least 1 point into each of the hireling passives on at least 1 character

There's only a finite amount of unique messages (duh!) so they eventually start to repeat - but it takes a VERY long time before they start repeating, a few months at least.

Some messages have more detail than others....

They do that twice, there are three cycles of letters from the three different sets of hirelings. It's just the way it's set up.

This One cannot believe the depth in the message!

Oh. So they end up with cliffhangers and 'I'll tell you more next time?' Both (I was only following two) resetting at the same time? Well that's no fun. Guess I'll just look the text up online when I want to read them all.

This one thinks they should be saved when you get the Memory gift from Shally.

I used to like the Orc letter smasher and the wood collecting Bosmer (especially since my main is a Bosmer who doesn't care about the green at all). But now that I see the exact same message every day, I'm over them. The hiring mails should loop back to the beginning after you've seen them all, not just repeat the last message.

I read them all and they are amusing. I like when the lady got feverish and was in bed and her servant was doing the mail for a bit and pretty boldly talked about stealing from the lady.

The two brothers always competing is fun too. They get into some crazy trouble. I thought for sure one was going insane and becoming evil.

kargen27

My favorite.

"Zukki is no bigot, but he thinks Argonians are the most pernicious race of odious vermin that the Divines ever suffered to crawl upon the face of Nirn. But to their great credit, at least they aren't Nords."

AndyMac

I never read them tbh

Awww, now I miss Pacrooti.

Pacrooti was one of my favorites, until the person he started scamming was me.

To be clear:

• Originally there was one hireling per craft, with relatively few occasions on which an associate of the hireling sent the mail rather than the hireling him/herself. .
• Twice they've added a new hireling for each craft, except that ...
• ... the cases where there are multiple senders for a single "hireling" have increased, especially in the third hireling tranche.
• When the last hireling email in a craft is reached, they just send it over and over again.
• However, when a new character gets a hireling skill, they start from the beginning of the email chain.

Some hirelings are funny. Some hireling email chains tell stories. My favorite is Melina Cassel, the second enchanting hireling, because she ranks well in both categories. She also adds color to what we know of Rivenspire, which is my favorite zone in the game.

Hireling emails sometimes refer to characters you can actually meet in the game. The biggest example is probably Narsis Dren, who started as a character in Valinka Stoneheaver's emails, but became an actual character from the Orsinium DLC onward. ... Unless you count Pacrooti, I guess.

Some of the hireling emails seem to refer to other hirelings. E.g., I think Pacrooti won Gavin's armor in a dice game.

Hold Up. You can meet the great Pacrooti in game?

Don't get too excited. ZOS turned him into the official crown crate huckster.

No, but you get a lot of mail from him if you have Woodworking hireling skill. He's a much cooler character by mail than after his career change to crown crate promotion.

Khajiit have an elegant way of saying things.

I've really loved the ones from Aksel Rockbiter.
