Mercenary

A player can hire NPCs as mercenaries to fight alongside them. Only one mercenary can be active at a time and hiring a new one results in the dismissal of the current one. Weapons (related to merc type), body armor, and headgear can be equipped on the mercenaries, and they become much more useful with proper gear.

Important note: Ethereal items (have better base stats, such as damage or defense and lower requirements) do not lose durability when equipped on a Mercenary, greatly boosting their stats.

Mercenary: Desert Mercenary (Act 2), Offense: Might Aura.
