Hirelings broken?

Are hirelings broken too? I have two of them and have gotten nothing from either of them.
If I wanted a Signature I would have a Signature --- but i don't want one so I don't have one.

Allyhoo811✭✭✭I have gotten hireling mail since the patch -- so it doesn't appear broken for everyone at least. Sometimes pre-patch my hireling mail would be late, maybe that is what is happening to you?0 -

✭if you have respeced today like many, the hirelings timer first start again from when you put skill points into it again.1 -

✭I hate my provisioning hireling. Every day he sends me like one barley or some other equally useless mat. Puhleese. I spent a skillpoint on that? I may take advantage of the 1g per skill point week to respec just so that I can lose that lame hireling.0 -
Arizona_Willie✭✭✭Usually the mail from the hirelings comes in about 10:30 .... since the latest " surgery " .... NOTHING.
Well, I've been gone for a couple of hours and just re-checked and I did finally get the email.
I was wrong though, the other day I < thought > I added a second hireling but just discovered that I had bumped my existing hireling from 1/3 to 2/ 3 and it was a waste of a point. I got one perjora today. One ... lousy ... perjora.Allyhoo811 wrote: »I have gotten hireling mail since the patch -- so it doesn't appear broken for everyone at least.

SpAEkus✭✭✭✭Isn't it ALL still Random Number Generated? I can still pull Potency and Aspect higher than some of my hirelings have skills for. And some days I'm only getting one grape on a 3/3 provision and other days I get 2x3 grapes and as many as 4x3 wheats.0

Stickleback✭✭I respecced after the patch, and have 3 characters with a few 3/3 hirelings. Usually I get around 20 mails per 12 hours.
Most of raw materials I get now are raw jute, maple and iron ore, while before the patch/respec my 3/3 hireling would always provide me with Shadowcloth/Shadowhide, Voidstone Ore and NIghtwood + random extra's

alkoriak✭✭✭Normally you receive the raw material associated to your higher material you can craft. So if you have 9/9 woodworking for example you receive nighwood, while if you have 3/9 you receive raw beech. Maybe after respeccing you didn't give them back the skills in crafting other than simply hireling?0

I was wondering too if that was the issue that people were experiencing and interpreting as a bug, I have a few hirelings now, and as you say the goods they send is dependent on the highest material that the character who has the hireling can use.
So on a character that has 1/9 (iron ore) in blacksmithing, and 3/9 (beech) in woodworking, the blacksmith hireling will send that character iron ore, and the woodworking hireling will send that character rough beech.
On another character that has 5/9 (ebonthread and fell hide?) in clothier, and 1/9 (maple) in woodworking, the hirelings will send ebonthread and fellhide, and rough maple.
You are quite correct, it is dependent upon the highest level of materials that the character who hired the hireling can use.
However, tomatoes on my provisioning rank 50 9/9 provisioner are still as rare as hens teeth, I think I've had 1 tomato delivery in a month!
