New page

Mercenary Mode is a new mode added with the Moon Temple DLC

After reaching level 20 with a class in the main game, a Mercenary version of that class can be created a the character creation screen.

Mercenary characters have the same base stats and scaling as non-mercenary characters, however they only have access to the primary attack of that class and this can't be changed.

Mercenaries start at level 20 with 25,000 gold.

They can use the resources of your town, but with some limitations. Some aspects are limited by Mercenaries rank, with more being made available as you rank up, and other aspects are not available to mercenaries (such as statues)

== Abilities ==

Abilities are selected at the Mercenary Skills vendor located in the Path Of Sorrow area outside the Moon Temple. Abilities can be freely changed at any time in town.

The range of abilities available is limited to which classes are available to create as Mercenaries, if a class isn't available to create as a Mercenary, it's skills will be locked. Some skills are not available to Mercenaries.
