Mercenaries

The mercenary is your permanent partner: he levels up with you, wears the gear you give him and can be revived with the NPC of the act where you hired him. Each act offers a different type, and what he can do depends on the difficulty he was hired in.

How the mercenary works

  • He levels up with your character and gains life, defense, strength, dexterity and damage every level — the values on this page come straight from the server files.
  • Skills level up too: each mercenary gains a fraction of a skill level per character level.
  • What he can wear depends on the type: bow, spear/polearm, sword (with a shield in Act 3). Helm and armor work for all of them.
  • The difficulty you hire in defines which skills and auras are available — that is why many players go back to Act 2 in Nightmare to get the aura they want.
  • A dead mercenary is revived with the NPC of the act where he was hired; the price goes up with his level.
