I am on Osha and my maid has been stuck @ 90 fatigue since yesterday afternoon.

Can i get my 200k gold back?


I was thinking the same thing, it looks as if I was sold a bill of useless goods, and I am out 600K

Seriously? Wow...sounds like the HK thing is pretty bugged right now then :/

I hope they fix the glitches soon cos it's a really neat idea.

The first maid you buy is 200k gold. when you've bought that, and reopen the hire interface, they'll cost 400k gold. once you've bought that and open the hire interface a third time, it'll cost 800k gold. Unless they changed it to be a static 200k no matter how many you buy. In which case I would like to be refunded the additional 11.4million I paid for 6 housekeepers stuck at full fatigue (does not include 1.2m it would cost to get 6 all at 200k a piece). ;)

I like these guys a lot, they'll be awesome when they work.

It looks the fatigue is now working correctly on Artemis. (I'm hoping the the maids also don't loose their skill level as well like they used to)

Since it is a new system with no official documentation, and seems to be different on different servers, not sure we know what correctly is yet.

Can you tell us what behavior you are now seeing so we can compare it with what others are seeing?

I had hoped a gm would chime in about the oddities we are seeing, rather then just sticky a guide that is not reproducable on all servers. Sent in a ticket about it, suggest others do the same, as they seem unaware that there seems to be issues here.

That would be great to have an understanding of what is to be expected. I mean first off my first houseman only cost 30k it didn't cost 200k like others are reporting. Getting a 2nd costs 60k versus 400k. (of course these prices are all before today's maintence so maybe prices are different now for me, but I just bought one like 30minuites before servers came down and like I said it was only 30k.)

Sweet Guide. Thanks soo much. I do have a question tho. How do you get them to rest? By logging out or hiding them? Silly question I know but I'd hate to lose the help from overworking them LOL

I was wondering the same. Are the GMs aware that these maids are bugged for some people?

I didn't want to be a pest and put in a ticket right away in case they just needed some wrinkles ironed out in a quick patch, but I can't see any official word anywhere on here about the glitches so...yeah.

Should I tell support about my dodgy maids?

fwiw, this morning when I turned on my monitor I was disconnected, but after logging in the maids seem to be repoping as normal. (and finally found a decent 92 inventor, and chatted her up to 90 fatigue) So maybe it WAS glitched, and servers rebooted or something. (I rarely get kicked when sitting in my room)

Yep, only posted on the EU forums it seems, but we had a downtime this morning ( http://forum.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=220432 ). Also my client patched again, no change notes last two patches it seems.....


I have a 100 inventor, but it has been at 95 fatigue for two days now.

By 92 inventor, I mean an inventor (they all have max 100 skill) with max of 92 for charisma. As I said in a different post, from around the 10 or so repops I've checked, I've only ever seen weapon keepers with 100 charisma, inventors with 92, and magic ones with 72. (along with 80 charisma varieties of the same) the rest of the types of keepers have no charisma variations.

Of course, if you mean a 100 charisma inventor, then I have to keep my eyes open for the upgrade... :)

Timer

I've been trying for the last two days to find out when they are up, I've never seen one available, can any give a repop time?

I'd really like to ask the dev's why the timer at all? it makes no sense....

Im pretty sure they're entirely broken now. It seems impossible to get them to 100 Charisma now. Whenever you chat with them, they go up in fatigue by 15 and whenever you use one of the Curriculums, it goes up by 25. I dont see how it's possible for us to get anything from them that's worth it now... No more buffs, no more sweet Potions, no more sweet Food... They're almost useless now. Until someone figures out how to get their fatigue down. :S

Faigue

Im hopeful that the fatigue issue is a bug. It went from one extreem to the other. It has to be bugged now. Hopefully the GM's will fix this soon! I could see the fatigue going up maybe 5-10pts each time the make something but 25pts makes it to difficult to do anything with them and makes them useless to us.

I dont think they should change the fatigue from making something, I just think they should add something that lowers their fatigue, and then change it so that it doesnt raise fatigue by 15 for talking to them. To me, that's pointless because it's now impossible to get them to like... over 25 charisma. :S

Considering how getting good stuff in this game generally requires putting large amounts of time into it, I would guess that the fatigue is supposed to be increased every time you talk to or craft something with the housemaid. How many weeks or even months did it take to get your planting skill from 0 to 55? I think the original dash to max skill level was the bug. But until we get an official word on this, we may never really know ;).

Most definitely it was a bug. Be thankful they havent reset all prepatch maids to zero.

i went from one extrme to the other too, my maids get fatigued and then they never go down, before they didnt even get fatigued. what i would sujest is a 5 fatigue for talking to them and a 10 second cool down, otherwise i agree that its going to be too difficult. another of the problems is that the buffs are still disappearing, i would sujest that they shut down the game for today and fix the bugs because tomorrow is the double xp day.
