== General Information == There are currently four classes of mercenaries: Tank (warrior), Healer (cleric), Melee DPS (rogue), Caster DPS (wizard). Mercs are to be constantly tweaked to be sure they are viable as an alternative to grouping (as opposed to being preferred over grouping). In other words, they should only be desired as a last option. There is a platinum cost associated with purchasing a mercenary. There is also a smaller recurring charge associated with upkeep (charged every 15 minutes). You can see the costs before hiring them. The amount you'll pay should be recoverable through normal experiencing and vendor-loot drops. Mercenaries level up as you do. As you both increase in levels your recurring cost will adjust to the new levels. ===Race=== The race of your merc has no effect upon anything other than appearance. {{cquote|<br />The model differences are purely aesthetic.||| [http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?topic_id{{=}}142726 Maddoc the Wayfarer, Assistant Lead Designer]}} === Name === The name of your mercenary is determined by SOE. If you wish to choose the name of your mercenary, you may do so by using a Potion of Mercenary Amnesia purchased from the Marketplace with Station Cash. The normal SOE naming regulations that characters must follow apply to your mercenary's name. The potion names the mercenary slot, so if you have multiple mercenaries, you need a potion for each one you wish to rename. If you dismiss the mercenary and get another one, that one will retain the name you have given the previous one, as long as it uses the same "slot". === Slots === Characters start with one slot. The maximum number of mercenaries you can have is eleven. You can only use one at a time. Completing the [[Achievements|achievement]] [https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=5796 Master of Alaris] will grant you a slot. The slot gained from this achievement will only be available for the character who has completed the achievement. You can purchase more slots in the [[Marketplace]]. The maximum number of slots you can buy through the Marketplace is five. Slots purchased in the Marketplace will work for all characters on the account. You can also gain more by completing the quest ''Mercenary Recruitment'' ([https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=5552 Allakhazam], [https://special.eqresource.com/mercenaryrecruitment.php EQ Resource]). Mercenary Recruitment can be done four times. The slots gained from this quest will only be available for the character who has completed the quest.
