Simple explanation: If you dont know, you got no chance at killing them.

Detailed explanation: You spawn a Placehoder (Otacustes) give her the Note, Mercs spawn and you kill them. All of this is in the arena at the west border of EFP. You will need at least 3 full teams of high levels, realistically, you will need even more people, and alot of time.

Sounds pretty right, but a teamful of 200+ people can take them all no problem (doctor/enforcer/soldier + DDs) ... Pulling the mercs out from the arena of course. Haven't tried taking them all at once in the ring, so I suppose for that more people is needed

But why do them all in ring

i am pretty sure that this isn't possible yet.

the best we were able to do with 2 teams of 200+ was killing ris+nelly+patty at the same time, then peter+ian at the same time. the biggest issue with killing several at a time is that they heal each other, so we needed to pull them apart into seperate little clumps.

i guess with a HUGE zerg-group killing all 5 at the same time would be possible, but i think it would be tough to get that many people interested enough to do so

We just pulled em out one by one without too much trouble. Not to hard to take down then.

Mercs are pretty easy these days

Killed the 2 girls together with 4 people, then ris + 1 girl at the same time, then peter + 1 girl at the same time. The Girls do almost no damage at all, and they miss a 220 about half of the time.

Ian + Peter killed us 4 though.

Enfo 220, Sol 220, Doc 219 and Advie 215

AO Vault guide on Mercs.

Please note it's a rather old guide, so the mechanics to doing the quest and all is good, but if you try this without some experienced help, it won't be pretty.

maybe with another CHing Doc it might have worked? I'm assuming the CH-recharge prevented the Doc from keeping the others alive...

219 doc doesn't CH

L216 heal outheals CH at high inits, and L218 heal outheals CH even when in full def. Not that going full def would be needed, just pointing it out

**Marxgorm** · Aug 1st, 2005, 11:01:32

Killing all 5 in the arena just requires a MUB enfo, 2 or more 218+ docs and damage to overkill the patty/nelly heals and a reflect really.

**DJLost** · Aug 1st, 2005, 14:37:34

The mobs that spawn Oct (Seca, Tetra and Primus something or others) inside the Primus camp are good exp for a team of 150's though, just bring either a good calmer or two docs/healers.

A 190 Adv and my 140 ish Doc killed a bunch of them one day when bored.

Just so you have an idea of how long it can take to spawn Octa...we spent over 4 hours in there, in a non stop killing circle and never got him to spawn (not that we wanted to...but I kept checking because I wanted a screenie of him).

Enfo lost aggro on Peter every now and then and during one of Ians stuns Peter killed the doc since he was busy healing the enfo.

**Frieloc** · Aug 2nd, 2005, 17:12:28

Done mercs with 4 people... 215 doc 218 shade 219 soldier and 213 Adv... so that was easy. Anyways 1 team is more than enough to kill. Our org does mercs every now and then for the people who need something and can always get 1 pulled at a time with little or no problem.

And yeah I've spent over 20 hours straight spawning, I've heard worst stories of 2-3 days :-x

**DJLost** · Aug 2nd, 2005, 18:26:10

If someone is interested in running the inside of the Primus camp this weekend and wants a Doc, let me know. I'd love some more of that sweet sweet exp.

or you need 1 doctor *yaws*.. if you just want to kill 1 merc that is ;P

**DJLost** · Aug 2nd, 2005, 21:26:04

Yeah, you pretty much need a ratio of 1 doc per merc from what I hear...but if you have two Enfos you get a discount!

**LeSourdre** · Aug 4th, 2005, 12:47:32

4 docs fits to do all mercs at ssame time (1 220, 2 215+ and 1 200-), we do this week with 3 enfos (2 220 & 1 215+ backup just in case of...), rest DD

works fine as you keep guys ranged to make it easy for healers.

dammit ! no hnta but a light one

Just a wild guess, but if someone comes to this forum asking where he can find mercs, how big are the chances of him having a 220doc and 220 enf to help him out?

Try to keep it slightly related to the topic of the thread instead of "omg my guild is so uber the mercs dies when we look at them"

**ACM** · Aug 4th, 2005, 13:41:27

Since you seem to be new, your best bet would be to join existing raids, instead of running it yourself.

On Rimor we had public raids some time ago, that everyone could join and thus get merc phatz. But with SL and AI the whole thing died and raids seem to be all private now.

My guild kills mercs often, and we are always recruiting. You should check it out if you are Omni on Rimor
