I have some questions to players who purchased the Mecenary heroes.
1) Is the limit to Merc hero slots 8? Or can I have 11 slots by buying another 3 slots? I have 10 characters and would like to add them all.
2) Will my Merc heroes use the same armor and coloring as my characters? For me, it'd be pointless to purchase Merc heroes if I can't use my favorite armors.
3) How are equipments and runes handled? Do I have to buy these physical items and apply them just like normal heroes? Or is this handled like PVP heroes?
Thanks.

1) 8 merc slots is the limit.
2) mercs will have the armor and coloring that your character has when creating the merc. if you want to change the merc armor/color, you have to delete the merc, change your character appearance to what you want, then re-create the merc.
3) i have no idea, good question

3) Equipped items do not carry over from your template character.
Runes work as hero runes do, you will need to buy separate runes for each new mercenary.

3)Regular heroes.

Limit is 8, but they are changeable so be like 1 month these doods, next month these other doods.
hero armor dont break, only need expert salvage kit; dirt cheap.

I just wish that the skins for your character's weapons and shield / focus would have carried over. 'Generic Max Item' with no prefix/suffic/inscription, so that when you go out into the field, they have something to use.
That's really my only complaint out of all of this.

Ok, so I'm a bit confused. Everything says the max number is 8 mercenary hero slots. But why 8? Isn't 8 the maximum party number? So wouldn't you need 7 hero slots + yourself to form a full party? Maybe that is what it actually means but the way it is worded makes it seem like you are paying for a slot you will never use.

So 8 slots = ensuring you actually have 7 still to select on a registered character.

every character on your account (excluding the template toon with the same name as the hero) will be able to use all custom mercenaries. (each character will still have to rune and equip each merc separately though)

I would have expected mercs to be instanced only once per account. I guess they prefer to let people put different weps/runes/builds on each instance. With the implicit downside that you actually have to get weps/runes for every instance.

So, along with paying real money for the mercenaries, you must also fork out your in-game gold to rune and equip them?
We're paying all that money for a 'skin'?

You're only paying money for it if you feel it's worth it

Anyone know if they retain the appearance of a costume/festival headgear if on for hte character or are just shown wearing their helmet/headgear?
Squalus the Ipno
Someone know if i can equip mercenary with pve skills like norn and so on?

Curious as well with a question.
So when we copy them over, armor wise, is it exactly the same? So if I had a character that wore no chest armor or leg armor and only boots and gloves and a helmet, would my hero have no chest or leg armor? Or would they put some on them?
Basically, if you copied a naked toon over, would you have a naked hero? Weird question I know.

mercs are just like heroes--so no on the pve skills.
Silmar Alech
Your mercenary heroes always have complete maximum armor, regardless of what they wore at the moment of registration. If you registered him naked, he would have a naked appearance as hero but with maximum armor rating on all armor pieces.

and then again it's not only a skin, but also the ability to have as many (up to 7) heroes of any profession you desire without limitations of regular hero availability. eg: 7 eles, 7 necros, 7 monks, etc.
But yeah, nobody is forcing anybody to purchase merc slots, they are just an extra for those who want them

Here is a good question...
Can any character you have equip the merc hero as soon as it is made?
Do you need to be lvl 20 or have an existing hero already before you can equip a merc hero?
Could a Faction char equip a merc hero and at what point in the game?
Could a pre searing char equip a merc hero?

You need to speak to the Merc Recruiter before you can use them - AFAIK that's the only limitation.
So no pre-searing heroes.

this is an awesome update if i could really be bothered does this mean that i could make 4 pve/pvp necros then make them mercinaries and run around with 7 inc my heros? +my necro making it an 8 necro party? this seems a little silly, but if it would work im gunna go home and buy 4 new char slots and the mercenary pack

So now we can have two Discord Groups in the same party? 3 as heroes and 3 as Mercs? That should be dangerous. Of course you could before if you had a buddy, but now as solo.
Or any other multi-hero specific builds.
Wait a sec...
So a Merc template survives after the char is deleted?
And the char survives after the Merc is created too. Right? I want to make sure that I can play my chars after I make them as Merc and everything I've seen implies that.
But I'm surprised to find out that the Merc template survives after the Char is deleted. Anybody actually tried that?

I have a question, it is about books you get for doing missions in NM or in HM. You acquire books to do NM/HM Missions with the name of your toons. Then make full mercenary party of this toons, and transfer all 7 books to toon you want to play. Gear up mercenary party and do Missions are the books filed or not ? Because you have that name mercenary in your party ? or they get another code when they are created as mercenary and books are not linked ?
Basically if i do one Mission, are the other books filed with that mission too ?
