How Do You Recruit Your Mercenaries In Path Of Exile 3.26? – Mercenary Mechanics Explained

Zoe

A very new mechanic in POE 3.26 is that you can hire mercenaries just like in Diablo 4. They are a unique enemy in your Mercenaries league, and there is only one mercenary wandering around in each area. You can choose to recruit or exile them.

You will encounter many mercenaries in POE 3.26, but the number of available mercenaries is limited, so you need to think about which mercenaries you want to recruit.

How Does Mercenaries Work?

Each mercenary comes with equipment and a reward pouch containing POE currency or scarab rewards.

Most mercenaries have 6 skills or buffs, and each skill also has support gems to provide effects. Some skills and support gems are unique to the mercenary and cannot be used by the player.

Some mercenaries carry unique items. Mercenaries with Infamous modifier usually have better weapons and equipment, and you have a chance to gain items with Infamous modifier.

Infamous Modifiers:

You can take Trarthan gems from mercenaries, which can be thought of as skill gems. Unlike skill gems, you can also use Trarthan gems on your mercenaries.

Types Of Mercenaries

Mercenaries can be divided into pure mercenaries and hybrid mercenaries based on their damage type.

Pure mercenaries have a single attribute, and you can replace them with any equipment that contains that attribute. Hybrid mercenaries have two or three attributes. If a hybrid mercenary has Strength and Intelligence attributes, you cannot equip him with any item with Dexterity attribute.

How To Hire Mercenaries?

When you come to any area where mercenaries are active, you have three options.

Each time you challenge a mercenary, the difficulty will increase, but the reward will also be better.

Although each mercenary has default equipment, you can manually change their weapons, armor, etc. Mercenaries will not automatically equip items. If you remove his weapons, he will remain empty-handed.

You can buy POE currency and then replace them with a set of the best equipment, so that they can act as tanks or ranged output to cooperate with you in battle. But if you plan to fire a mercenary, remember to recycle his non-default equipment first, otherwise he will disappear with your equipment.

When you bring mercenaries into battle, the difficulty of monsters and the loot dropped will be slightly increased, but it will not affect the monster’s stun or abnormal status threshold.

Mercenaries are one of the most important mechanisms in 3.26. It allows single players to pass all campaigns more smoothly and accumulate more currency. Choosing a mercenary who can complement you can speed up your clearance.]
