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

Skill Damage

Wizard mercenary

Spell Power is the value in the mercenary's equipment window.

Use your mercenary's rank from Mercenary skill rank above. This example uses the rank from that section's example.

Skill damage: 10 at rank 1, +10 per rank (300 at rank 30)
Damage before defenses: Spell Power + Skill damage

Example ,rank 12,the mercenary's 200 Spell Power

320 damage before the target's defenses

Skill damage: 10 + 10 × (12 − 1) = 120

Damage before defenses: 200 + 120 = 320

The target's Fire Resist reduces this damage by 0.05% per point, up to 90%. Each point of the target's Fire Resist adds 0.05% to its chance to resist the hit outright. Each 1% of the caster's Accuracy subtracts 1% from that chance. Each level the target is above the caster adds 0.5%, and each level below subtracts 0.5%, up to 10% either way. The chance stays between 0% and 90%. See resistance and avoidance, the damage steps and moving targets and backstabs.
