Ok, i have always thought the price of mercs were way too high, what do you all think?

(For those of you who dont know, mercs cost 100k gold and 5k GP)

Personally, i think that they should cost 50k and 500gp after lvl 3 and at lvl 4 (when you can use more than one) 100k gold and 1k gp

I think mercs should cost 30k gp... only because i dont think they should be abused and only used when needed not in every guild war

If I was guild leader, and my guild could afford those. I would keep 2 fire mercs in my inventory just to smite someone who is popping.

Is it just me or do mercs seem really really weak?

If I'm gonna pay for backup like that, I'd want something that can hit as hard as I do.

Hehe no, mercs are your lvl. Don't expect to if you like lvl 40 with 8 mercs to randomly kill a lvl 60 just cause you have mercs.


All tho lvl 80 mercs own. Only need 2 to kill any Pure str >.>

i am against mercs on principle. i have only used them twice since they came out, and i'd have used them less if i hadn't needed backpu faster than it could have arrived.

I think i only ever used 2 mercs during the time my guild was lvl 3.

Now at lvl 4 i think i can use 5 at one time (Or more - correct me if im wrong)

It was funny.. me, in zerk + 1 fire merc at lvl 56 took down a lvl 62 3* trader and his bull.

It gets me angry when 8x go hunting with them...

So they are telling me they cant kill 6x - 7x without them?

Grats2Them, I think they are a good idea when used in the correctly.

:love:

I gave my friend some mercs because he reached lvl 64.. Transferred leadership, he had fun killing a few lvl 69+.
He became a "pussy" and a "weak a$$hole" that same minute, while he was just enjoying a present.. Mercs are the good price right now and people shouldnt be that jealous :(

It pretty lame and pathetic to summon mercs unless you are serriously outnumbered. like 5-1 or more. But when the guys that outnumber you summon mercs it feels like your day was just ruined. And you constantly get murder status with them from people who like to interfer, and i think they should cost more to make people think before buying a merc, except at level 5guild it doesnt matter how much GP they cost since at5 they wont take any GP away.

Your friends mercs did 80 dmg to me, and I killed your friend with a kd. So i guess he is a weak a$$hole.

his friend is 64, your 70. and unless you upgrade mercs in the guild agent menu, they dont do a lot of dmg.

[b] I think the price of the merc should be expensive ...better make the price to 200k..why?????so it wouldnt be abuse by those noob build chars who desperately use merc on job war and guildwar just to try to win..
its kinda noob thing to do.....especially on 1v1...merc are ok to use when the GM is being gangbang...

100k ~ 200k same ...should be 1 mil or so imo

and guild wars both of the GM's can summon merc so it's not a cheat or something you can both use it =|

mercs are too cheap

Step 1 put on thief suit.

Step 2 get on ox

Step 3 saunter down the dead ravine

Step 4 laugh at hunters' bodies that tried to attack you.

Bring your friends who are doing the same for even more of a laugh

Picking up goods spawns theives and makes you vulnerable. Best to have a low level thief do it, he's protected by your mercs anyways.
