I definetely think that fangorn pledging needs more advantages (also hobbit pledging but that's another subject), and there are some nice ideas in this suggestion (hiring ents with alternative methods, like hiring huorns with ent draughts). I don't know if ents should be hireable since they are some of the eldest creatures of middle-earth (after all the valar and the maiar) and it doesn't make much sense them following a player, even if they are pledged to fangorn.

Thus it might have to be something different than hiring an Ent, such as having an ent companion like the two hobbits, limiting the "hiring" amount to 1 and maybe making it a stronger ent than the normal ones (maybe making only those "elder ents" "hireable". This of course would be pledging-limited too.

I also like the quest-hiring suggestion, so I think making them getting "hired" like shield-maidens and renegades do right now would be a good solution in my opinion, but again, limiting it to 1 ent per player.

About the pledging-exclusive giant tree growing, I also think it's a good idea.
