General Info[]

This page addresses the general information related to mercenaries found within the instance, Rogues Gallery.

See the Mercenary Guide for the general topic page on mercenary commands, use, etc.
See the Mercenaries page for more details on mercenaries found in various locations, as quest rewards, or perks from purchasing expansions.

The Rouges Gallery is a location in both Freeport or Qeynos in which one may hire mercenaries purchased from the Marketplace.

The first mercenaries found in Rogues Gallery were introduced with the Rum Cellar Pack. These are from mercenary crates purchasable through the Marketplace, often in Mercenary Crates (multi-packs) that give you a random token for the selected archetype.

Redeeming Tokens and Mercenary Crates[]

This is a brief summary of this topic.

See the Mercenary Crates page for full details on unpacking crate, redeeming tokens, retired mercenaries, etc.
  • The crates that one buys to access these has a chance to randomly grant either a common, uncommon, rare, or ultra rare mercenary.
  • In order to hire a mercenary, you must have a Mercenary Coin for the the specific mercenary. They will not "talk" to you and you can not see their stats until you hire them.
  • The coins are NO-TRADE, but the crates themselves can be passed between characters on accounts before you open them.
  • If you do not want to hire the mercenaries you get from the marketplace, the coins can be sold for 1,000,000 - 6,000,000 status points.
  • Sneerio Backlash on the first floor of the Gallery buys excess tokens in exchange for status points; the higher quality the mercenary, the more status they will offer you.

Retired Mercenaries[]

Periodically, new mercenaries are added and older ones retired from on the Marketplace (no longer sold). Players who previously purchased a single mercenary or crate to get a token when they were available can hire the retired mercenaries, but players who didn't won't be able to hire them. Occasionally, Daybreak may bring the retired mercenaries back during specific sales, usually in the summer (close to Scorched Sky) or during the winter (close to Frostfell).

Seasonal Mercenaries[]

Rouge-gallery-mercenary-cage-example

An example of the a mercenary "cage" that helps mark a floor level in Rogues Gallery.

During Frostfell (2015) an extra section of the Rogues Gallery can be entered to get the Gingerbread themed mercs purchased from the Marketplace. This second entrance is close to the zone-in point for the Rogues Gallery and it looks like a Magic Door to the Guild Hall.

Hiring Locations[]

The gallery itself is set up like a jail instance with each of the mercenaries inside, accessed via doors in either Freeport or Qeynos.

The Original Mercenaries loiter outside the instance door, in the pubs areas of each city, which makes it easy to tell if you are close to Rogues Gallery. Once you go inside though, both locations and the mercenaries inside are identical.

If you know the name of the mercenary you're looking for in the Rogues Gallery, press CTRL + F on your keyboard to open your browser's search function, then type part of the name and hit enter to quickly located them on this page.

Many Levels, Many Cell Blocks[]

A Cell Block sign, when moused over, reveals the class of mercenaries found down the stairs.

As more mercenaries have been added over the years, Rogues Galley is now rather maze-like. The following is a loose way to keep track of where you are/find the mercenary you are looking for with or without a waypoint.

As you move through, note the following features of each levels:
  1. All floors have a cage-like ares in the middle of the room with a very powerful mercenary standing in it. The mercenary inside the cage is typically the ultra rare, highly desirable, high-status value (when sold) option you may get.
  2. The Cell Blocks have stairs leading down, which all radiate out from the center like spokes in a wheel
  3. There are small wall signs that tell you what general class or type of mercenary is in each Cell Block and each cell block houses ten mercenaries in individual cells. See the example image to the right/above.
  4. If you see a stairway down with a colorful torch visible on the wall, you've found the stairs to the next level down.

In the sections following, you will find a list of Mercenaries in the Gallery by the level. The Gallery does not have official names for each level, so efforts to label each had to be created for this article. As you go down further in this instance, the numbers increase. LL is short for Lower Level, a common American way to label floors that get progressively deeper. The Cell Blocks listed below are organized in a clockwise manner, assuming you turn to the left and proceed around the floor to each Cell Block.

Lower Level 1[]

When you enter, LL1 (Lower Level 1) is the first floor when you walk down the stairs that has mercenaries.

Here you will find Katastra Vilehex in the central mercenary cage.

  • All of the Frostfell-themed mercenaries are accessed by yet another zone-in door on the first floor.
  • The Personal Avatar (a doppelganger purchased from the Marketplace) is not in a cell, but standing on this floor
  • You'll also find Sneerio Backlash on this floor. He is a merchant who will buy items, including those worth status, should you decide to sell a mercenary token to him, rather than hiring the mercenary.
