Do Hireling Alts Really Work?

-

Hey everyone! I’m trying to figure out the best way to use my storage alts as hireling or writ alts in the game. Most of the guides I find are outdated, and I want to make sure I’m on the right track. From what I gathered, I need to hit level 3 in a craft to unlock the Hirelings passive. But what about the second and third levels? Can I just invest 3 skill points in Hirelings for each of the 6 crafting professions that support them? That would give me a total of 18 skill points across my characters, right?

You might find this wiki page super helpful; it lists all the skill unlocks for each crafting tree. Just keep in mind that Provisioning is an outlier – you actually need to get it to level 28 before you unlock Hirelings at all.

I checked that wiki, and it seems like it doesn’t mention Hirelings at all. I found another great resource though! But yeah, you’re right about Provisioning needing level 28. So for hirelings, you only really need 5 crafts that have them, which totals to 15 skill points!
