How to level new Mercenaries

Congratulations, you just added a new mercenary to your formation. Maybe Rin or an IM mercenary? That doesn’t really matter, as they all have the same problem: They are level 1.

Here’s the experience table per level and grade: http://www.atlantica-db.com/experience

Grades:

A (Multi-hued Soul crystal/jewel)

B (Dragon crystal/jewel // Dragon Soul crystal/jewel)

C (Giant/Phoenix/Redemption crystals/jewels // Giant/Phoenix/Redemption Soul crystal/jewel)

D (Ashen crystal/jewel)

The table states the experience needed for every level, depending on the grade. A mercenaries need more exp than D mercenaries. The Main is counted as D.

I’ll only copy some important levels here:

Level	Grade D	Grade C	Grade B	Grade A
50	2,079,007	2,494,808	3,382,960	4,587,295
60	5,218,628	6,053,608	8,027,084	10,643,914
80	23,446,617	25,322,346	32,058,090	40,585,542
100	200,000,000	200,000,000	241,200,000	290,887,200
120	2,000,000,000	2,000,000,000	2,100,000,000	2,205,000,000
130	8,766,404,662	9,743,045,128	10,619,685,594	11,575,202,684
140	35,047,061,897	38,601,754,007	41,905,206,644	45,490,456,290
150	123,650,000,000	35,800,000,000	147,280,000,000	159,720,000,000

To get a swordsman, gunner or monk to level 100, you would need 40 x 5m-Exp books from Event. Soccer event gives a 5m-Exp book for 20 Gold Medals.

After that, switch the new merc into your formation as often as possible. Best is to do that before you hand in quests. The will get full exp when they’re close enough to the main char’s level.

You might want to reset a quest like Knud or Hwarang, as they give nice exp and the merc will profit from that as long as he’s over… say level 80 (100 gives FULL exp tho!)

Note: a level 1 mercenary will NOT get full exp, but only like 1k or something, even if the quest exp is 4m.

Second, leave the kills to the new mercenary. Again, take the new merc into your formation as often as possible. Melee mobs (without AOE!) are best. Simply keep the new merc in the back and kill with him as much as possible. You can even save gold by not giving him full equipment, but a nice weapon should be on the To-Do list, since killing will be LOTS easier.

Again, keep in mind that mobs 5 level above the *killing* mercenary/main will give best exp.
