Recruitment ads

[Coca Cola Rocks]

So after the release of the last update we should be able to use a Recruitment ad in tavens.

i can not find this option anywhere...
Do i need to advance in one of the Paths? and if so how far? or is there another requirement to use this new feature?

Hope someone can help me wit this..

Regards

Yeah, I think there was a path or region requirement, if I recall one of the announcements correctly. Let me check.

sweet Thanks. its a feature i was looking forward to, hope it is not something we wont have until late midgame. the usefullness earlygame to setup your party the way you want it ( at a cost ) could be nice to have from the start =)

[Aouregan]

Hmm... I cannot find it. Maybe I just misread or -understood something.

[Coca Cola Rocks]

Thanks for trying =)

[Aouregan]

Sorry to disappoint, mate. I can check next time I go in game. Maybe I can find something in the paths hinting towards it.
It def. isn't available in the starting region, cause I am nearly done with it in my after patch started playthrough. I will triple check the innkeeper and quest giver dialogues, though. Hold on. Give me 5 minutes.

Thanks. iv completed the first region aswell and starting on my 2nd. at this point my party is 9 strong. and i do not require any more atm. if it comes this late, then its much less usefull, unless i can recruit ppl at my partys lvl .

I double checked first region tavern. Innkeeper has naught, neither does the emissary, nor the informant. Nothing to interact with in the tavern, either. Might really be locked behind a merchant path (which is where I would expect it), or so?

[Aouregan]

Similar to the haggling about better quest rewards, or such.

[Aouregan]

I don't think they are early game items anyway, since the cost of a fully filled out ad is quite substantial with a thousand crowns or so (Yes, you have to pay for the ads). That is not something you shake out of your sleeve in the first region easily. And at that point the gender, etc. also does not bear any weight (nor does it really in the rest of the game). At that point I am just happy to find a spear man or brute, where the traits don't suck *ss :D

You need to take the "human resources" skill from the compendium to enable this feature. It's one of the new three point skills that gets unlocked later in the game - don't ask me how much later, I only found it through an oldish save that had enough points backed up to complete all but one of the pathways.

Don't get too excited about being able to use it to customise your party - you can select one positive trait and block one negative in your advert, which to my mind leaves scope to still end up with some pretty useless job applicants!

And each ad costs you quite some money, from what I saw.

Just checked it out out of curiosity on my new play through. You need to accumulate 20 knowledge points to unlock the "deep knowledge" section where you'll find "human resources" which costs a big three points.

When you go to an inn you can place an advert for help wanted specifying gender, weapon type, personality type (which seems like a new concept), one preferred positive trait, and one excluded negative trait. Only excluding one negative trait seemed less than generous to me but the real show stopper was the cost - 2080 krowns to recruit a level 4/5 companion?!?! I'll stick to trawling for random barflies I think

After update 1.0.32279, the Human Resources perk doesn't seem to be working correctly, as I put in one of the "Eldoran Enthusiast" traits and days later one appears with a random trait like the other mercenaries arranged in the tavern.
Before, I added the trait and it came to the character normally, so much so that I had a soldier for Eldoran and Ludern.
