Independence
Mercenary Independence
When a mercenary reaches level 100, he or she can be independent. You can do it through Fugger, who is northeast of Lisbon.
In order to be independent, the mercenary cannot have any equipment or items.
The mercenary must be younger than 50 years of age.
One user can make a maximum of 10 independent mercenaries.
Unfortunately, once they become independent, you cannot hire them again.
[Friendship with Independent Mercenary]
Independent Mercenaries will send you mail every month. (1 per day in real time) This might be a request or just a thank you letter.
If you fulfill one request, your friendship will increase by 1. However, friendship cannot exceed 100
An important thing to remember is that if you ignore the request, you will lose 2 points for friendship.
However, the friendship level will never decrease below 1.
[Independent Mercenary's Retirement]
Independent mercenaries will age just like the other characters in the game.
If the independent mercenary gets older than 60, he or she will retire and be released.
Once they are released, you won't be able to rehire them or receive mail from them. It will be more beneficial for you to hire younger mercenaries.
[Releasing Independent Mercenary]
You can choose to release independent mercenaries.
You should release a mercenary after carefully analyzing each mercenary's information from NPC Fugger who's in charge of giving independence to mercenaries.
Carefully review your decision because once you release them, you will no longer receive correspondence or items from them.
Request
Once a day (IRL).
Items are sorted by probability (decreasing).
Quantities are fixed.
Gift
Every six days (IRL).
Items are sorted by probability (decreasing).
Quantities increase/decrease with friendship (100% is best) and mercenary's might.
Rewards
Rewards
[Rewards from Independent Mercenary]
Independent Mercenaries will send rewards every 6 months in-game time (6 days in real time).
Among these rewards, you can find important materials, expensive items or rare material items to acquire B-level mercenary.
It's also important to maintain Friendship since you cannot get material items to acquire B-level mercenary unless your Friendship reaches 100.
Just like that, the kinds of rewards sent from independent mercenaries differs depending on the mercenary's current Friendship or its Might.
So, the higher the independent mercenary's Might (Might without any equipment), or the higher the Friendship, you will receive larger quantities of items as rewards.
