Mercenary contract

[Lord_Orchid]

i've seen people "Selling " themselves on trade so a thought occurred to me. why not?
so since i was bored and had this idea i have come up with a simple mercenary contract standard issue.
basically it ties the merc to the master for 1 week and the merc is loyal to the master and only the master( but the merc has the right to deny involvement in fights against the mercs own town but hey may not harm the master)
standard pricing i believe would be 5c for level 0-9 50c for 10-19 so on 300c for lv 60 ( combat class lvl) per week
now for the actual writing

OoOoO u speak of de Blastoise selling himself. I shall pursue scribe to make contracts and sell me and my kin

Lightbulb! New scribe skills.
Contract: scribe writes a contract binding a merc and master for a set amount of time and gets 10% or a percent set by the scribe agreed with by the merc and master of the mercs pay
Gives scribes a way to make money and makes more people want to be a underpopulated spec also here are some more ideas
Constitution: towns would require a constitution written by a scribe before starting
Treaty's of peace and war: Scribe could write a treaty between guilds or towns stating certain rules and if not upheld there would be a price or penalty set by the scribe

bob....... Wonderful idea i completely forgot about scribes that would definitely populate that profession

Thx! I was just throwing some ideas out there because scribe is the only spec In my opinion that's kinda boring and hard to make money with

Wouldn't this go under suggestions? lol

 

[Lord_Orchid]

meh the later posts yes the first post no cause i was just bored. so since i was bored and this could be applied to trade( if i was buying mercs), suggestions, or general i felt general was the better choice since i wasn't suggesting anything just asking for opinions on what i did while i was bored

I don't think punishments should be designated like this. Perhaps it should be negotiated between the mercenary and master. Also, maybe there should be a mercenary profession, in which, with the help of a scribe, would get about 1 coin for each kill that damages the master.

I absolutely love the idea of a Merc system, however I think no addon is truly needed for it. I played Darkfall and am currently testing Darkfall: Unholy Wars, and mercing has been a huge impact on the game since release of the original. Running a smaller clan that just mercs for other clans that are in need of some PvP defense is one of the absolute best things you can have going on in a open world sandbox PvP game. Would love to see this idea implemented more into the server by the players themselves.

this is just a quick write up contract but yes a different arrangement can be made between mercenary and master though i don't quite get what you mean by each kill that damages the master. as for you holidaze i meant it to be player run though a scribe skill to boost scribes potential would be interesting

I am sorry, I meant 1 coin for each kill of anything that hurts the master.
