Regarding hirelings and the time they work for you--

[Campbell]

I just hired a paladin at Delucia to be a punching bag for me to train wrestling on. I'm about to set up my wrestling macro, but have a question about the length of time the mercenary will work for me.

She said that or 103 gold, she'll work for me for a day. I drop 103 gold on her and she says she'll work for me for 1 day. Then I get to thinking this may refer to in-game days, in which case she'll probably just bounce and go mutinous in the middle of the night when her "contract" is up and I'm standing there punching her in my skivvies. So I drop another 103 on her, and she repeats that she'll work for me for 1 day. To be safe, I give her another 206 and she says she'll work for me for 2 days.

Now, firstly, are these in-game or real-time days we're talking about? And second, do you have to pay for everything all in one drop, or is it a cumulative balance? In other words, did I just hire her for four days, or did I just blow the first two drops and only have her for two days? (Obviously a couple hundred gold isn't gonna break the bank, but I just want to make sure the macro keeps running).

Thanks!

It is in game days, which 1 equals 2 real time hours. And it is comulitive, so you paid 4 "days".

Sounds good. Thanks for the reply!
