Barbarians (Mercenary) Notes & Tips

• With the release of Patch 2.4 Desert Mercenaries have suffered some changes.
• Only one Mercenary can be used at a time. If players hire a new one, the current follower and his/her equipment will be lost. So first remove Mercenary's gear before hiring a new one.
• Mercenaries can be resurrected at any time by visiting Mercenary Leader NPCs in each town. Resurrecting Mercenaries has a fee that increases as your Mercenary levels off.
• Followers benefit from both the Magic Find Equipment they use along with the Hero's Magic Find Equipment as both Magic Find Rate add up but only when the Mercenary kills enemies. It does not apply the other way around for your character.
• Mercenaries gain experience from both your kills and theirs, but they will level up faster from experience obtained from their own kills
• The top level Mercenaries can reach is level 98.
