Our Mercenary Guide is Up! Check it out here!
Read ’til the end to see the Ragnarok Mercenary Demo Video!
After the arrival of the A.I. system in Lighthalzen for Homunculus, Ragnarok Online’s Alchemical pet system called, here’s another “Artificial Intelligence” system that’s bound to make waves, the Mercenary System.
Sorry but I can’t help but to compare this with the Mercenary System in the game Diablo as the systems are so similar! In that game you “hire mercenaries” different classes to fight with you together in combat.
In Ragnarok Online there are three RO mercenaries available
1. Fencer
2. Bowman and
3. Spearman.
A Ragnarok Mercenary by default are non-aggressive.
This means that they won’t attack unless their owner is being attacked, or will attack those that the master is attacking. This is funnily like the ‘helping’ we associate with Killsteal in previous Ragnarok Days. Now we have REAL helpers!
Mercenaries are summoned through a series of scrolls. And they have a decent amount of HP and skills to complement their summoner. So imagine a party with one mercenary for each corresponding member of the party, it will be a massive array of firepower literally. Like having your very own Bodyguard.
CONFLICT WITH THE HOMUNCULUS SYSTEM
But latest discussions have confirmed some conflicts with the Homunculus AI system, which can cause command malfunction. That sucks right? However, it is already under research for it to be fixed soon. We will update you with detailed facts in the upcoming posts so keep on your toes alrighty?
