Should Hireling Gold Temper Chance Be Reverted to 1.5 Rates? (Poll)

✭✭I don't mind being forced to farm nodes and do crafting writs for gold tempers.I have no problem with the new system. I have 4 characters in total. For the sake of provisioning recipes (and some research into Enchanter writ rewards) I complete all three consumable writs on all four characters every day. The whole process takes, about, 15-20 minutes in total.
From this, in the last 7 days, I have received 4 Kuta runes directly from coffers with my fully upgraded Enchanter (VR12, Enchanting 50, All sub-skills maxed). I have received no Kuta runes for the other ones (3 x L8-15 alts, all with Enchanting in the 10-28 range with few skill points spent) in Enchanter Coffers but I have picked up a few extras from survey writ reports... yes, even the Tier 1 reports.
For the gold temper materials for other crafts? After the 15-20 minutes of furious crafting I then go and actually play the game for a couple of hours. During that time I pick up any materials node I see, something I have always done anyway, and the resulting upgrade mats from refining those keep me in business. It occasionally helps if crafting clients want to trade in upgrade mats for a reduction in set price but for the most part my stocks of these are increasing, not decreasing.
This system takes little time unless you are foolish enough to take on equipment writs, which almost everyone is of the opinion are not worth it at the moment, or try to do all writs on 8 characters.
I like it, I take an active approach to crafting and it rewards me for doing so. For me, this beats the heck out of leveling X hireling mules once so you can then collect vast quantities of gold upgrade mats for the rest of the life of the game.0 -

Rook_Master✭✭✭✭✭I want gold temper rates in hirelings reverted to 1.5 values.I just wanted to necro this thread to say that I am still upset about the hireling nerf. I will never forget, and I will never do a single crafting writ.
That is all.0 -
Beesting✭✭✭✭I don't mind being forced to farm nodes and do crafting writs for gold tempers.I am glad i dont have to log in before work and after work, every day on 7 chars to collect emails..... I was becoming a must do chore even on holidays i tried to do it lol
Of course i am sad about all those hours hunting skyshards on my alts to be able to put 27 or more skillpoints into all the crafts and crafting endless amounts of boots and daggers and bows to decon on my alts.
Time i would have spent differently if i would have known the rewards would be nerfed
At the moment prices of legendary mats are high and the only thing really to keep the guild traders in business, now that all new gear is bop there is no need to even visit them anymore except for those mats
I guess more people will be forced to run around in purple quality gear now, those mats have dropped in price a lot and i am sitting on stacks and stacks of them without a use for them.
I was thinking about using my stacks of kura's and rekuta's to level another enchanter now i deleted some of my old hireling alts, but there is no point, i wont probably see a kuta in the mail anyway....Beesting, Bosmer Magica DK, AD EU, crafter

✭I want gold temper rates in hirelings reverted to 1.5 values.Does the % change depending on number skill point put in to the hirelings? IMO It should say .5% for each 1skill point.

✭✭I want gold temper rates in hirelings reverted to 1.5 values.I know a lot of people who have taken points out of hirelings so their mail isn't clogged with useless mats.
They may have been too powerful before, but they are awful now, and the current price of Tempering Alloy is equally as awful.

✭✭✭Poll doesn't have an option for me. I'm happy with the Temper price and do not have to farm.Rest in Peace:

✭I don't mind being forced to farm nodes and do crafting writs for gold tempers.I only would like a higher drop rate from refining raw material"I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU0 -

Two days ago i refined 160 rubedite ore, so less than a stack and got 5 gold tempers
Yesterday i refined more but got only one, i normally used to get 1 gold temper every 120 ore on averageBeesting, Bosmer Magica DK, AD EU, crafter

✭✭✭The current drop rate of Tempering Alloy is fine. This is an MMO and players are meant to have to work for things.Rest in Peace:

Morozov✭✭✭I want gold temper rates in hirelings reverted to 1.5 values.if I wanted to play a farming simulator I would go play Farmville
edit: I voted yes, I have 1 main character I play. When I waste points for hirelings and spend all my time farming mats to not even get enough tempers to upgrade one item in several weeks, I can safely say the drop rate is patheticEdited by Morozov on November 18, 2015 8:12PMAD
