Mercenaries are NPCs for hire. Hire a mercenary that takes up a group slot, has a monetary fee and takes a small slice of experience and coin from fighting.

A mercenary's purchase price varies by level. There is a larger upfront fee (5 Plat at Level 90) the first time you acquire that mercenary. The mercenary will then charge you an upkeep fee every 30 minutes; this amount also is increased as you level up. Level 90 upkeep fee is 25g per 30 minutes, or after the mercenary is killed. Once you dismiss the mercenary you must also pay the upkeep fee to bring them back. Like any group member, mercenaries take their cut of coin and experience, unless you change the loot options, but they do not take loot items.

Mechanics Edit

Currently there are 21 Mercenaries to chose from: healer, tank, melee dps and caster dps. Healers and the dirge have a chance of actually rezzing you! No need to guess, their icons show their Archtype, and hailing them will tell you their class. Available types are Tanks, Healers, Melee DPS, Caster DPS, and Support mercenaries.

You can manage your merc's appearance clothing via your persona window. Add any armor you want to your mercenary to display, but remember that they will get no additional benefit from it. It's akin to equipping a mannequin; the armor will remain with you.

The suspend timer is 2 minutes. If you suspend your merc, you'll have to wait 2 minutess to unsuspend/resume them. When a merc dies he becomes suspended. You can resume him from the mercenary window in your persona or you can type /merc resume.Each time you resume your merc, you will pay the upkeep.

If a merc loses too much confidence they will panic and suffer from a stat decrease. Avoid this by keeping aggro.

Locations Edit

If you see one mercenary hanging around, there's likely more nearby. It is possible to sneak into other cities and hire their mercenaries. Once you have hired "foreign" mercenaries, they will appear also in your home town.

Elite Mercenaries Edit

Information on Elite Mercenaries is... that they're rare and more powerful.
Note that they despawn for a while from the world when hired so there will be gaps between players being able to find them. These mercenaries are much more expensive then normal mercenaries. They cost 30p to hire and 5p upkeep every 30 minutes (at level 90). All their spells are mastered, they do not return to start locations like the rest of the normal mercenaries when dismissed.

Matri Dut <Nayad> (Brigand) - was reported to be found above goatman cave in The Stonebrunt Highlands, .

Kenny <A Billy doll> (Mystic) - believed to be found in "a dark forest". A video showed this actually being available out in Great Divide. Kenny was reported to be found in Butcherblock Mountains next to the Lesser Faydark Griffin Tower
