Mechanics
Mercenary Skill Rank
A mercenary uses this skill at a rank set by your level and total veteran points. See Mercenary Skill Ranks.
- Level contribution
- Your level ÷ 5, rounded down
- Veteran contribution
- Total veteran points ÷ 10, rounded down
- Skill rank
- Level contribution + Veteran contribution, at most the skill's maximum rank
Total veteran points (Veteran Level) are your unspent veteran points plus your learned veteran skill ranks. The character window shows them as the VT number beside your level, as in "Level 50 (VT 20)". Use 0 if no VT number appears.
Example ,Level 50,20 total veteran points,maximum rank 30
Skill rank 12
Level contribution: 50 ÷ 5 = 10, rounded down
Veteran contribution: 20 ÷ 10 = 2, rounded down
Skill rank: 10 + 2 = 12
Buff Scaling
Cleric mercenary
- Skill Magic Resist
- 2 at rank 1, +2 per rank (60 at rank 30)
- Wisdom Magic Resist
- Wisdom × 15%,
- Magic Resist
- Skill Magic Resist + Wisdom Magic Resist
Example ,rank 12,the mercenary's 100 Wisdom
39 Magic Resist
Skill Magic Resist: 2 + 2 × (12 − 1) = 24
Wisdom Magic Resist: 100 × 15% = 15,
Magic Resist: 24 + 15 = 39
Rounded means to the nearest whole number. Exact halves go to the even number, so 2.5 becomes 2.
