Once you find and rescue a hireling from some dire situation they will fully join your roster and hang out in the Inn awaiting your call. You will be able to gear up your hirelings and you have full control of them during combat as a fully abled member of your party.
“The greatest adventures are born from the strength and unity of the heroes and will of evil.”
HIstorian
Once in your party, hirelings gain XP and raise level as your main characters do but hireling training cost is free. Hirelings are found at various levels of advancement and some come with secondary skills, spells, and gear but they each can be upgraded or replaced.
The daily cost of a hireling increases as their level increases and payments are made when you Rest. Hirelings that you have found, will hang out in one of the 5 town inns waiting for the call. You can move all the hirelings to the same town inn and this will simplify swapping hirelings when needed. Hirelings keep the gear they are wearing when they are waiting at the inn which expedites swapping the party aground for key encounters.
Full Roster
Once you find all 24 hirelings you will be a force, 30 strong, able to face many challenges you will find on CRON. Some quests are restricted to only certain classes, genders, or races and having a large roster of fully outfit and ready heroes will help you build diverse parties as needed. Check out the Guide page to Main Quest lines.
