Merc transfer to others

[stdage]

There is a flaw it seem's in the merc. transfer from high lvl characters to lower lvl characters.

If you have a high lvl toon in a grp with a low lvl or shrouded toon and go to where ever your going to be hunting at so you dont zone with the low lvl or shrouded toon. Than transfer owner ship of the merc. from the high lvl toon to the low lvl toon.

The merc than becomes 12 lvls higher it seem's than the low lvl / shrouded toon and keeps the high lvl buffs on it.
But if you zone on the low lvl or shrouded toon than the merc. reverts back to that low lvl and all buffs are gone at that time.

I have not checked yet to see if you die if it will also revert to the low lvl as well or not at this time.

Also if you shroud to a lvl 60 and have a 85 toon in your grp you can than go to the 65 hot zone and kill all gray mobs to the lvl 85 and get 1% xp every 10-13 mobs and that takes me on my pally about 1-2 mins with good train pulls also use spikes campfire and high lvl spikes potion.

Hope this helps others

omg hide this before others see and it nerfs... thankyou i am so going to do this today

is it aa exp or reg exp

" is it aa exp or reg exp " I have not really tried this for AA only for reg xp.

Also As of 2-4 you can suspend the higher lvl merc in shrouded or in reg form if you did the low lvl transfer and the merc will keep all the high lvl buffs when unsuspended I have also found if you shroud to lvl 45 and 50 either 1 it seems that after transfer to shrouded toon the merc stays the lvl of the higher toon that transfered it while in that zone I will keep meesing with this as time permits and I hope others will post if they find any thing as well

This only works on Reg XP. and is still working

This works best for those boxing muiltiple accounts like me.

Pesronally I like to shroud a few of my toons down.

First I make sure they are on REG XP before I shroud them.Than take them to a low lvl hot zone where a lot of mobs respawn quickly.

Than transfer a merc to each 1 from a lvl 85 toon and leave them there,

In the lvl 50-55 hot zone you'll get about 1% Xp every 12-15 kills but with 2-3 lvl 85 merc tanks that dont take long

Like I said in earlier post make sure you transfer merc from high lvl toon to shrouded or low lvl toon in the zone you will be killing in so that the high lvl merc keeps the high lvl buffs

i just tried, still works for me... mercs stayed the same level as my 81s

They con the same, yea.. But get a j1 level merc on your twink and have it kill something white to you and then do this "merc trick" and get you level 80+ merc to kill the same mob. Seems to me it takes the same amount of time so the con may be lvl 80+ on the merc but the stats/skills are still at the twinks level. Mercenaries are really overpowered so just because at low levels your merc can tank reds doesn't make them a higher level. I don't know though, I could be wrong.. Haven't really looked into this too much just tested once today.

That could be Unknown.

But if you shroud to any lvl up to a 60 the merc can only get buffs that the lower lvls can get. But if you take a merc that has high lvl buffs on it already and transfer owner ship to a low lvl tooon in that zone it keeps the high lvl buffs.

Therefor giving it higher hps,ac,speed,and haste. but once that merc is transfered to the lower lvl toon you can not cast high lvl buffs on it.

So if the buffs wear off it needs to be retransfered to the high lvl toon for the higher buffs again, than rinse and repeat each time.
