Hireling Items Need To Be Level Specific

Seravi · September 2014

Seriously as a V3 why am I getting bone, maple, hide and other lower level items in my hireling emails? I have received nothing but hops for days for provisioning. It's bad enough the crates in the V zones are full of nothing but lock picks and nickle but it costs skill points for the hirelings so I would HOPE that I would at least receive items that match my character level.

I did a respec a week ago and since that time 95% of my hireling emails are low level items. I get better items on my lvl 11 alt than I do on my V3.

My experience is that character level doesn't come into it, it's crafting skill level that was determining my Hireling items: hireling level likewise seemed irrelevant but since most of my hireling usage was once they'd reached level 3 I'd not be entirely certain of that like I am the character level isn't relevant.

The only effect character level seems to have is the amount of base material you get from deconning, eg. ores from weapons.

This character is level 50 on all crafting: blacksmith, woodworking, clothier, alchemy, provisioning and enchanting which confuses me even more about the stuff I am getting.

That's not the level they were referring to. It's based on the first passive (the one you have 1/9 in). 1/9 get the lowest level of materials 9/9 gets the highest.

Interesting. So much for not putting skill points in crafts for my alts and just using their hirelings.

Will have to revise my strategy, but it should be ok.

I have maxed all passives on all crafting. The bulk of my skill points are used up in all of my crafting. I applied points to everything that was available in the lists on my vet character.

On my lvl 10 alt, I have applied ONE skill point to the passive and she gets better drops than my vet.
