I dont know if its a bug or im doing something wrong but when i try to hire a adventure from 8 eyes, she tells me how much it cost and i pay her but no one shows up and the money is still im my stash. Is there something else i need to do??

I am having the same problem it happened after the patch I ask to hire it says dialog ended and that is it, no character creation screen no money taken.

The patch broke hiring custom companions for many/most? people.

Same here. I could use a good wizard...

Same for me. Option is available and I have the requisite 2000 gp. However, when choosing to bring in a custom adventurer, nothing noticeable happens.

I don't know if this was working prior to patch 1.0.2, but it does not appear to be working in 1.0.2.

It's still borked as of patch 1.02 (check towards the end of the changelog, they say it should be fixed in the next hotfix). Too bad, I'd love to try an alchemist for my 6th companion while waiting to recruit another member.

As it is I'm very tempted to look up a hint as to where to go to get that last companion ASAP, I could use someone else to carry the loot (carrying too much loot tires the party too much, loot a couple places and your travels on the world map will slow down to a crawl) and help deal with the baddies (early level D&D, especially as a wizard, is always touch and go, but this game is kicking my backside something fierce).

Looks like it's fixed! I just paid for a grenadier alchemist and man, an early reliable source of AoE damage changes everything (as long as you don't run out of potions, that is).

I bought a Cleric from 8 eyes after losing Tristian in Vordakai´s Tomb. It´s a standard Cleric lvl. 11 with Wisdom 18 (without Item Bonus). Had to pay more than 60.000 gp for it. But he can´t memorize lvl 6 spells, because the game says he has no spell slots of that level!? But he ought to have them! Furthermore he doesn´t seem to get additional spell slots for a high Wisdom attribut. Is that intended to keep the hired Characters worse than the standard group Members? For such a high prize he should have full capabilities!
