Basic Information

  • The Monster Mercenary Scrolls come in four different levels: Intermediate, Advanced, Hard and Elite.
    • You can only summon Mercenaries of the same difficulty as the Shadow Missions you are doing and above.
      • Ex. You cannot summon an Intermediate Mercenary in an Advanced-leveled Shadow Mission but you can summon an Advanced, Hard, or Elite Mercenary in an Advanced-leveled Shadow Mission.
    • Mercenary Scrolls obtained from events are not based on level. Therefore, they can be summoned in any Shadow Mission Difficulty.
  • You can only summon them inside Shadow Missions.
  • The Mercenaries receive their own Titles based on what level they are.
    • Intermediate: the Intermediate Merc Summoner
    • Advanced: the Advanced Merc Summoner
    • Hard: the Hard Merc Summoner
    • Elite: the Elite Merc Summoner
    • Mercenaries obtained from events do not possess a title.
  • A Druid Magic Circle is formed when you summon the Mercenary.
  • Mercenaries disappear once you leave the Shadow Realm, move to another area, or its duration expires. You will not be informed when the Mercenary disappears.
  • You may only summon five Mercenaries at a time.
    • A notice stating You can only summon up to 5 monster mercenaries at a time. will appear when attempting to go over the limit.
  • The Mercenary's summon time lasts for 3 minutes. During those three minutes they will:
    • Follow your character.
      • Note: Mercenaries have a limited range of effect; if you go too far from them (out of their range) they will no longer follow you nor will they attack any monsters or be attacked by monsters. You can regroup them by returning into their range.
    • Attack any monsters they detect, including enemy Barrier Spikes.
      • Unlike regular monsters, the Mercenaries have a wide detection radius.
  • Mercenaries are immune to Self-Destruct.
  • If a Mercenary makes a kill, players will not receive EXP from that kill.
    • Players will still receive EXP for Battle Participation.
    • Switching the Party Finish Rules to "Anyone in the Party" will allow players to make the finish and receive the EXP.
    • Another way would be to remove the check from the box beside "Enable Pet Auto-Finish" inside the Game's ETC. tab in the Options menu.
      • (Options > Game > ETC. > Enable Pet Auto-Finish)
  • You can Heal, mend or give them potions by manually clicking the Mercenary Monster.
  • Like the common possession skills (i.e. Control of Darkness, Magical Music, Taming Wild Animals, etc.), Mercenaries do not respond to Pet Commands.
  • Unlike Pets, Mercenaries do not enter barriers/doors once their master goes through.
  • Mercenaries can become targets in PvP's Elves Vs. Giants or Paladins Vs. Dark Knights, and thus, will attack or be attacked by oppositions.
    • However, Mercenaries do not aggro and therefore do not attack unless provoked.
  • You cannot use a Spirit Crystal when you have Mercenaries summoned.
  • It is strongly advised not to use Mercenaries against a monster with Life Drain, as a large amount of Mercenaries may end up restoring a large amount of the monster's health.
  • They are sold in stacks of 1 and 5 at the Royal Supply Guard behind Andras in Taillteann.
