It is my understanding that the description of a housekeepers' Personality reflects the kind of things they say when you push their buttons.

It is my understanding that the description of a housekeepers' Personality reflects the kind of things they say when you push their buttons.

This sounds like a response a contestant in a beauty pageant would give, as it has nothing to do with what EscapeTheFate is talking about.

From what I gather, Escape is saying the male Housekeepers whose description is both Mature and Inventive, doesn't actually allow you to max the Inventive skill level of housekeeper like it should. Instead, it only gives the option to max out the Magical skill, which is wrong because the description of the housekeeper is Inventive, not Magical. So eventually that housekeeper would give him/her a maxed magical attack buff rather than what he/she really wants, which are the crafted items that would normally be given from a housekeeper with a maxed (100 not 80) Inventive skill level.

Tl;dr

Current Male Housekeeper
Description: Mature and Inventive
Actual buff: Magical
Should be: Inventive

Majik might need a better "incomprehensible gibberish to English" translator, but it is basically correct. Half of the personality description is about the responses, the other half is about what HK is good at. That half should match the attribute that tops at 100, which is what anyone with any sense (meaning those who do not shop for housekeepers by hairstyle) should be looking at.

Here is what I see in my current HK rosters:



As you can see, they are both mature and inventive, and they are both 100 on inventiveness. Granted, neither of them is human male, but there is only so much I can do within one week. I went through all of them, all were correctly labeled.

But, yes, HK listed in OP's screenshot is mislabeled.

Ooops. Sorry, Yrcanos, not Majik. Me bad.

Were you asking me to translate something, or saying i translated something incorrectly because i haven't posted in this thread til just now Vfwiffo.

Also i check the house keeper list on several of my accounts as well, i did not find any mislabeled either but i also was unable to find any "Inventive and Mature" Human Male housekeepers...

@OP it could be that your housekeeper's Personality was mislabeled or that "Human Male Inventors" do not exist at all, we will continue to look into it.

Short Version.... Human Male housekeepers must not make good Inventors, try to avoid buying them if you can for now. More investigating will be required before this is submitted as a bug report.

Note - Everyone shares the same list of housekeepers for hire, the list resets on a timer. If all the housekeepers are hired, or there is a combination of traits you desire that aren't available, wait a while and check back and you may find something better. You will notice down the right side that there are tabs with face icons on them, the grayed out ones signify a housekeeper that someone has already hired and you will need to wait until the list resets before one is available on that tab again.

Maybers they done ran off wit all the dwarven women!! Me no hast checkered inter this yet, but iffn tis a bug, twould be nice ter haver it fixered rather than bein told ter "avoid" it. Also, could yer get a spell check on "Tombstone"? It done hast said, "Tombstome" since day one.

Ack... Sorry, Majik. I meant Yrcanos. That is what happens when you post half-asleep. The general point is that bug description is written in gibberish even though it is correct that it is a bug.

I went through 6 servers before I finally found inventive mature human male. And indeed he should not be inventive, since his 100 is magic, not inventive.


Human females are good, elven males are good too. None of the outer HKs I saw were mislabeled.

When I do software or documentation reviews at work, we are asked to rate severity of the issues, so that one can properly triage the repairs. I would rate the severity of this as falling between "bug so minor that one would need electronic microscope to see it" and "if this ever shows in patch notes as fixed, we know game has achieved perfection because all the other, more serious problems must've been out of the way for them to work on this".

Well before hiring a house keeper, i don't really care what it says on top, i look at their numbers in the list below, making sure all first 3 attributes are at 100 and then choose which craft i want them to have and make sure that one is 100. Don't really care what is written in the top part of the description, anytime i chat with them they tell me scary stuff, especially the male ones, you seem tired, come lay down with me, HELL NOO!!! lolll

Just check the description at the bottom before renting them, pretty easy ;-)
