Mercenary system is the current features in Philippine Ragnarok Online this features is included in Nameless Patch. Mercenary is very similar to the Alchemists and Creators homunculus although mercenary cannot be feed unlike the homunculus. In this feature to let know players that mercenaries are very useful and big help for leveling alone especially for those support type jobs characters.To have your own mercenary just purchase the mercenary scroll from any mercenary guilds in Prontera, Payon or Izlude. Just click the scroll in your inventory and you have it. As of now in Philippine Ragnarok Online made a little changes in Mercenary system. I still remember when I log on in game my friend gave me a mercenary scroll but now scroll can't be traded to others, drop even stored in the Kafra or in Super Novice or Merchant jobs cart.
Well there are 3 types or mercenary the Swordmen, Archers and Lancers. These mercenary can be only hired for just 30 minutes when the time finish you'll be summoning another scroll. They are look like the 1st job characters and their skills similar to it's class. Mercenary levels only depends on summoners level. You can determine the level of the mercenary in their looks especially in headgears.
Remember this for level 7 and up mercenary have an additional reliability specific requirements. To summon level 10 mercenary your character must be level 99 the only requirement to have more reliability points. The reliability points of mercenary only base on it's performance in battle. It simply means just base on points he killed. The more monster he killed the more points for mercenary. For every 50 monster killed his reliability level will increase but it will increase only if mercenary killed more than half of character base level. If your mercenary dies in the battle the points will be reset but if the summoner die you will lose one reliability point.
Mercenary have their own buffs (increase flee rate, attack speed, fast HP and SP recovery and hit rate). They will gain this buffs as long they have more reliability points. All buffs will be canceled if the mercenary dies. They have their own special skills that summoners cannot on it like:
- Weapon Quicken - increases their attack speed using two handed weapons.
- Crash - single hit attack chances to stun the enemy.
- Regain - recovers from sleep and stun status effect.
- Tender - recovers from freeze and stone status effect.
- Benediction - recovers from curse and blind status effect.
- Recuperate - recovers from poison and silence status effect.
- Mental Care - recovers from hallucination and chaos status effect.
- Compress - recovers from bleeding status effect.
- Scapegoat- the mercenary will sacrifice his all HP and heals the controller.
We can use supportive skills in Mercenary like heal, blessing, provoke, safety wall and even elemental enchants of summoners (Sage/Scholar). Just take note blessing will not the increase the other stats . It will cancels the curse and add the hit rate of the mercenary. Provoke can cancel freeze and stone status. Safety Wall will recover the mercenary from stun, stone and frozen status effects.
Mercenary can be passive and active it will depends only to the summoner. They can separate by 15 cells away and back to it's controller. They can also use consumable items like HP/SP potions and increase attack speed potions.
See what a new world in Ragnarok Online with the help of the mercenaries. :)
