That's why I was suggesting having the ability to cancel a hire request before trying to hire someone else. Especially with all the tools people have, you don't need several people on a farm, and once you've hired someone and they haven't responded, you run the risk that they'll turn up anyway after you've hired someone else.

One way around that is to hang out at the MP for a minute before immediately hiring someone else, and watch the top of your screen to see whether the "X just harvested Y" message shows up. If it does, you know your first worker is on the job and you don't need to hire another.

Help! I need to know how to access my tools when I've been hired.

i remember when i was needing to level up and how i went everywhere and did everything i could to get the xp..1 click ata time..that's part of the process...besides it helps them decide what tool they would like to get first...the thing i hated when i was a "newby" was someone hiring more that one for their farm..i always hired solo so they could get it all...i had one guy hire me to harvest the hired someone else to plow..i wrote down his name and NEVER worked for him again...lol..now i have a bundh of great neighbors..we all work for each other..and with the multiple hire it's nice to be planting on another farm while they hp..and vice/versa..kinda like real farming...it's supposed to be fun..not a job..if u want a job..get off the computer games...and get one..

I have found it impossible to hire people to fish and I am just asking them to fish 2 big sea coasts and lake w/ boat. There needs to be a higher reward for people to want to fish. I am tired of begging for people to fish so I just do it myself.

where do you go to hire? i thought the market place workers didn't mind fishing large seacoasts and boat lakes. that said - if you have a boat it's much quicker to do it yourself.

Do you tell the MP first what you have water-wise, or just hire to fish and keep getting the "no thanks"? People will turn down hire requests for fishing simply because they don't want to end up on a farm with miles of river pieces (especially stacked ones) that are a pain to fish and not worth the effort. I've had good success by just saying up front "who wants to fish 11 seacoasts and 3 lakes?" and hiring whoever says they'd like to do it.

Time of day seems to be a factor as well. Mornings (US) seem to be big for harvest/plow jobs for crops and that's what most would prefer to do, so it's harder to find willing fisherfolk then.
