Once a Mercenary is summoned, it will last until it dies, the player character dies, it is dismissed, or the contract expires.Ĭontroling the Mercenary Manual Functions
The stats of the Mercenary summoned is based on the scroll used and they come with fixed skills which are different depending on the type of Mercenary summoned. Scrolls cannot be sold, transfered, or moved into storage or carts. The Superior Mercenary Scroll (10 th Grade) can only purchased in exchange for Loyalty Points. Some high-grade contract purchases require the character to show proof they are a good employer by earning a minimum amount of Loyalty Points. The player's level must be at least five levels higher than the mercenary's level. The cost of scrolls increases with higher grade Mercenaries, and the maximum grade of Mercenary that can be summoned is limited by a character's Base Level. To invoke a contract with a Mercenary and summon one to the player's side, scrolls must be puchased.
Different from Homunculi, any player can use Mercenaries, but instead of a creature that grows alongside the player, Mercenaries have fixed stats based on the level of Mercenary summoned. Players will be able to support, party with, and control a Mercenary using an updated version of the Homunculus System. The Mercenary System is designed to add a new dimension to Ragnarok Online, allowing players to have an NPC henchman to fight at their side.
