Considering I have had 8 maxed Enchanters (maxed being 7 x lvl40+ and 1 lvl 50) for over 12 months and NEVER received a Kuta, then yes do something.

I've gotten at least two Kuta since 1.6 from enchanter hirelings.

[joking] Now available in the Crown Store — kuta! For the low, low price of a mere 200 crowns ... (oh, I seriously hope this *never* materializes)! [/joking]

since 1.6 i got about 5 kutas from the hireling (about 40mails.)

Ta is the new Kuta

I have always wondered in this game and others if there is some sort of correlation between user name and the RNG - so I suppose it's theoretically possible...at that rate I should be getting one a day from my hirelings (4 toons each with a 3/3 Enchanter Hireling - so 8 mails a day means in 5 days I could/should have gotten 1 a day) - it also suggests that the RNG needs some serious looking at if it can get that far out of balance because as Charlie from Numb3rs would say, "it's possible, but highly unlikely which would suggest an error in the RNG formula or tampering."

Mby, but still i think ist just luck, i have done 60-70 Gold plegde and 15-20 coa vet. Not a *** single helm dropped, and just 3 (usefull)shoulders from the chest....

same with the Crux farmin in upper crag, gildes can farm 2-3hour for 1 Crux, i go up 1 hour and leave with min 3

If any Hireling needs some work, they all do, it seems they are giving out gold stuff very rarely, but purple ones way more often than green or blue '-'

...Still not one Tempering Alloy, tho'.

There still is a low chance to get Kuta from the hireling (very low though).

The change with 1.6 made legendary mats from all types of hirelings much rarer and thus crafting writs more important.

I think that's a good change because now you have to at least do a 2 minute quest for a better chance to get a legendary material. Before 1.6, people would just log in with 8 characters that had all professions maxed and get legendary materials for doing nothing. Hirelings maybe were even the main source for legendary materials in the game. If just logging in a character once per day, not playing the game, becomes one of the main sources for the rarest (the only rare) crafting components in the game, that encourages people to not play the game and just log in once per day instead. An MMOG is "alive" when many people actually play the game so any mechanics that circumvent playing the game are ultimately detrimental to it, in my opinion. I'm saying this as someone who has 4 VR characters with all professions and hirelings maxed.

The new system doesn't really bother people who have just one main crafter for each profession. You can still do the crafting writ in a few minutes and have a good chance to get a Kuta. But doing all the writs with 8 characters per day now requires some actual effort so people with 8 maxed chars don't just get a ton of legendary materials for free.

That being said, even if you don't get any Kutas from your hireling, the skill isn't useless. On the EU server, Kuras right now sell for 490 gold each, Kudes for 80 gold, Jejota for 30 gold, Denata 120 gold, Rekuta for 700 gold. Maybe 200 gold average just for logging in your character is a fair reward, in my opinion

I have no problem with the distribution of Kuta runes. I expect to get them from writs, not Hirelings, and I like this.

It feels like the active process that I am undertaking (crafting runes for writs... which also uses Ta runes) is more rewarding than the utterly passive action of just logging in a couple of times a day.

Enchanting isn't easy. It isn't supposed to be easy, that is one reason I value my character's mastery of it about 4-5 times more than any other craft.

If they have been removed completely, then I'd vote for them to be put back in, but they should be rare. You really shouldn't be able to gain access to top tier crafting mats, by just putting a few points in hirelings.

Kuta are fine, I always had only one crafter and got lots of Kuta from writs and hirelings more than 10 since 1.6. It's almost like having only one character with hirelings improve RNG. (Would lol so hard if that was true. For all the hireling farmers.)
So not so bad to get them more from writs than hirelings so you don't get Kuta from doing nothing on 8 characters.

Anyway I think you could still delete those ta from hireling because I don't pay my hireling to get me useless Ta rune which are only used to do writs and you already get so many of them from nodes.

I would like to see a rebalance in potency runes. I seem to get a disproportionate number of Kuda when in reality Kura are used far more often.

never seen a kuta from hireling

The drop rate of Legendary Tempers from all hirelings should be raised back to pre-1.6 levels.

Pre-1.6 I got a steady stream of gold tempers, enough to sustain myself. Now I hardly get any at all.

It's such a stupid way to force people to do crafting dailies. I absolutely refuse. I front-loaded the time investment by leveling my crafts so I didn't have to gather mats and do these garbage dailies.

I've gotten at least on Kuta from hirelings since 1.6. Possibly more, but I don't keep that much track of it. I've gotten several from the writs as well.
