Dear HCS/FS  game engineers ..been said before .. 

Doesnt matter what size guild you are in eventually hiring high level mercenaries will be necessary. I being in a smaller guild rely on mercenaries more often as groups are smaller in nature. I have been attempting to kill a level 1600  SE to complete a quest ..And at the moment there are 89 mercs available. Ive spent the last 24 hours trying to kill this blastard  and the best merc I have come across is level 900. We really need to add some new HIGH LEVEL mercs .. and do away with these worthless low levels. I am wasting the guilds gold hiring and firing mercs. At the very least PLEASE group the mercs by level so we know if it is  even worth our time to search and sink. Sinking the guilds gold unnecessarily sifting through a random unhelpful menu of level 45 to level 300 mercs SUCKS!

thanks

I know the very quest you mean - and the best way of killing these super elites is to lock your XP and solo them - trust me, I found that out the hard way :). Mercs prevent the really useful buffs like CA helping you and there aren't really any mercs that compensate for that ...


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

I see the issue with the mercs but for this exact case I fully agree with Pardoux the best way to deal with the 1600 SEs is to solo them. Yes it is not a safe way, the chance of being killed is considerable but I believe it is the most efficient way.

You guys were right! Special thanks to savipats for extra help!  Guess I was group blind to the power of the solo SE kill! Learn something evryday ! Thanks.. FINALLY!!!!

I think I got through that one using one of the KE/SH525 potions from global chests. Definitely a tough one.

Well using Ses 175 and flinch 250 (frazzled Nerves) distilled means you would need 51558 def to safely kill this critter remembering constitution and Nmv def do not show in the total ...

 

Or to make it even easier to solo you could use (elite hunters draft) ses 200 distilled becomes 230 with Frazzled Nerves lowers its attack by 74.8 % to 35892 meaning at 1600 its easily solo able and safely.
