180, Mercenaries that count as group-mates
Posted by Scarabaeus on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Up until now only the mercenaries available in Galadon have counted as group-mates with regard to experience bonuses while ranking. Mercenaries at the following locations will now (after a reboot) count as well: Udgaard, Hamsah Mu'tazz, Seantryn Modan, Blackclaw Village, the Orc tunnels, and Hell.
185, Does this include animal mercs in these areas?

My recent testing with Galadon pets seems to suggest not, but perhaps Hamsah pets will be different...
187, No

The idea is that NPC mercenaries functioning as group mates (not pets) contribute something to the learning experience. Having a war dog or a feisty camel is not an equivalent companion.

Love that change! On a related note, I've noticed if you're in a group with 2 PCs and one group merc, if one of the PCs gets the final blow experience seems normal. If we the merc gets the final blow the experience seems heavily nerfed (also have noticed this with druid's serpentine staff pet).

Is this a bug or intentional?

Thanks again for the change, I think it's great!
181, exp wagons or more?

do any of the mercs for purchase do anything of additional value?
183, Many of them do, experiment
