Have your hirelings been delivering ANY Kuta?

Since Orsinium, maybe even before that, ive noticed hireling deliveries are nonexistent. I had leveled all my alts In crafting for max deliveries from hirelings before any of the DLC's came out and was quite enjoying the rewards of hours of leveling them by getting great mats. a reduction or any change in these things is expected as the game evolves, but no kuta at all seems a bit harsh. lol.

Anyone else notice this?
Thank the stars! I wasn't sure I'd find anyone else out here. Please, I ne- STAB! STAB! STABSTABSTABSTABSTAB!

    Not since Orsinium, no. I do get them from time to time with writ turn ins, but that's about it outside of harvest nodes giving the occasional Kuta.

    Yes, got one today. I get one about once a week.

    You don't need that many Kutas. You need way more gold tempers, which unfortunately are not really dropping any more often that Kutas,

    I finally got around to moving 6 Alt-crafters to L32 3/3 Enchanter Hirelings. I have max Enchant passives on all and 4/4 9/10 in Aspect/Potency.

    I have received 3 KUTA in one day and 1-3 a week for two weeks now.

    I will prob take all their passives but 3/3/ hire OFF in a few days to level them into some more Skill Points so I'll see if the old "must have max extract" is still needed.

    But I also got a 5 KUTA heavy sack in GOLD zone the other day!!

    I still get them every now and then - I think the last time I got one was last week. Not commonly, but yes hirelings definitely still deliver kutas. Enchanting writs remain by far the best source of kutas.

    oh yeah. writ rewards pay off very well. hirelings are just hit or miss now. raw mats and lots of fluff and pocket lint you have too much of already.

    Not for me, however I do get the occasional drop from a node.

    My hirelings obviously do not worship RNG gods...

    My hirelings are useless. I can't remember the last time they brought me anything legendary.

    However...

    I do get a very good return from writs.

    And today, after getting a Kuta in my writ reward I went and found one in the wild!

    2 in the past 6 months from 2 hirelings. I don't farm for them often, but I've only found like 4-5 from picking them up. Drop rates seem to be way too low.

    @SpAEkus. That's what Redspecter and I figured out back before the first dlc- max extract, and I was getting 3 or sometimes 4 kutas per day- id make a point of logging to all my alts every 12 hours.... I farmed Bal Foyen for hours to get enough runes to max all 8 toons to get 3/3 hirelings not to mention all the deconning and research I did. Hirelings were great (except that Gavin Gavonne) i still want to get my hands on that prov mat waste of space and slit his throat. Other than that, It was awesome. huge amounts of improvement mats. Since IC though, I don't see the bother besides mass accumulation of prov mats and the occasional purple recipe or psijic frag.

    4 of them in the last week. Also, writs have given me 3 or 4. So, making back what I used on my last set of VR15 armor.

    Well the Hirelings actually keep my Guild dues going. I have enough stock to do my next few gear upgrades so anything over a 200 stack I sell on Mondays to have change by Saturday for Raffle Tickets.

    Same with Prov, I keep 3 stacks in stock at all times plus tons of Mirriam and Bervez, every time the 4th stack starts, I sell a 200.

    I hardly get them from Hirelings, daily enchanting writs do give me Kuta often, like 1/3 enchant boxes.

    I wish they would rename Hirelings to Stibbons.
