Pets & Horses Improvement To Mercenary System

This is a really cool idea but the problem is it might be overrun by People who work as mercenaries (example: Helping you with Bob for 1 le)

 

Mind providing a bit more detail about what you mean? I'm talking about the current NPC Mercenary mobs, not actual players.

 

What I mean is that people will help you with quest or bosses for le

 

Well Mercenary (mobs) already exist within the game. This is a suggestion to improve the general system with them as currently the system with Mercenaries is a bit low tech. (Just drop some emeralds in a hopper and hopefully it follows you). There are plenty of pros and cons with using a NPC to help with battle versus an actual player, but I'm not going to get into it too much as that isn't the main focus of this suggestion. I just want to make Mercenaries more easy to use and to at least make them a legitimate commodity to use with the goal being as popular as horses, which are a staple for many players, as currently the Mercenary mobs are just things players fool around with for a few minutes before they get bored.

 

Bumping. I would really appreciate more input :)

 

Hmm. a interesting idea. However any idea in general is better than the current mercanaries. I really enjoy your idea of "spawn eggs" so you can buy mass amounts, but maybe you should change it to something like. 10 level 30 Mercenaries: 5eb. 30 level 30 Mercenaries: 15eb. So it gives you a "massive spawn egg and you can right click multiple times to set them down. Cuz haveing ten eggs, and each one is tethered to a egg, would be quite annoying.

 

Not sure if you realized, but you were literally the first person to leave a comment here >_<

Anyways, the spawn egg is just for representation. While one time use spawning could also be a viable mechanic, my idea makes the item a multiple use item with a timing limit. Think of it like the saddle for horse spawning, but you rent the horse for a certain amount of time before it is removed from your inventory.

 

No SP loss pls

 

Wait lol. I haven't read this in a long time I guess. Well count that one as my first comment. :P

 

The SP cost is NOT a requirement. You can simply wait for the Cooldown and then the mercenary will be revived. The SP cost is just an emergency option for those that can't wait for the Cooldown.

 

@SeanThomas2 do you mind explaining why you voted "No, this is a bad idea -.-"? I appreciate any constructive criticism! :)

 

It's kind of explained in Fallen Delivery.

Nice idea to improve these useless mobs, I've only seen ppl buy them in Almuj as a joke.
