The harvesting hirelings only gather common materials, not rares or imbue material. Rares are left for the players to gather in the wilds of Norrath.
We have been deciding on how many pulls the hirelings can do in two hours so I'd like to get all your feedback on it. So how many pulls do you think is fair for a hireling to do in 2 hours?
Some notes on it.
Hirelings don't get a "Nothing Found" result on a pull.
They have the player's standard chance to harvest a 1, 3, or 5 yield per pull.
They have a balanced chance of which of their targeted nodes they will harvest from per pull roll. So the miner has a 50-50 chance that each pull comes from either the Ore node or the Gem node, he can't be told to only get Gem harvests. On average he should return an equal amount of gem commons and ore commons.
They don't actually go out into the world and consume nodes, they simulate their pulls by sending their "crew" out into the lands.
