Description

The player can hire various staff through a new NPC in Ebonheart great hall.

To recruit your new staff, you will either need gold or items.
For example, to recruit a fisherman, you will need a fishing rod while to recruit a guard, you will need 600 septims.

Additionally, all staff members will have a monthly wage (200-400 gold) and will refuse to perform services until they are paid (they will stay where you put them though)

Once you have recruited someone, they will

• follow you (to your home, presumably)

• perform daily services

• perform improved services after a pay raise.

• carry and hold tools of their trade.
• share lore related to their trade.

As an example, to hire an alchemist, you need a mortar. The alchemist will then hold a mortar and give you a selection of potions daily. After a pay raise (from 200 to 400 monthly) the potions will have a greater quality. He will tell you about the alchemical properties of plants.


Other remarks:

• each employee actually carries a number of tools, some of them set up as a shield, or as a light (those will be used in darker rooms), remove the items you do not want them to use from their inventories.

• you can fire your employees at any time.

• you can hire any number of the same type of employee

• you can lower their wages back if you do not like their improved service.

• the names of classes have not been changed: your staff is compatible with Archimaestro Antares's Bigmod (highly recommended).
