Feldon We don’t know the classes, and we don’t know if they require Age of Discovery, but here’s a teaser of the ten-year veteran rewards for EverQuest II:
As we approach the anniversary of EverQuest II, this means a brand new Veterans Reward to say thank you to those who have been with us for so long! This year you’ll be able to grab your very own unique mercenary who will bring the might of justice or dominance of oppression to your next encounter!
EQ2Wire Note: Veteran reward time is calculated based on active account time, plus 90 days for each of these four expansions if you purchased them (Desert of Flames, Kingdom of Sky, Echoes of Faydwer, and Rise of Kunark).
Here is a sneak peek of what you can expect:
Update from Solisnight:
- Lord Valkiss Ssi’sh is a Shadowknight in the Mercenary Basement of Freeport, Same Skills as Vittia Direshadow. Not available in Qeynos even after hiring.
Update from Solisnight:
- Lady Liae Croae is a Paladin in the Mercenary Basement of Qeynos, Same Skills as Krivix Honorclaw plus Elixir of Resuscitation (Pally Rez). Not available in Freeport even after hiring.
I´m not really a fan of mercenaries to begin with… and considering how broken and bad so many of the “new and improved” ones have been…. nah… Rather give me another unique prestige home, heh.
More than enough stupid houses…mercs are a decent choice, they have too many houses already no need for more. Mercs are a big part of the game, especially for people that like to play alts. I think the merc is a good idea.
They look very cool, but where are our Froglokian mercenaries? 🙂
I suppose it depends on what they do and how stupid their ai is as to how helpful they are. Sadly we’re already to the point where if you need a healer merc only one really works very well.
You use the term very, very loosely.
Shadowknight and Templar … or Shadowknight and Paladin?
This is the theory. Confirmation soonish?
Given that they said they are “unique” I’m hoping they are some kind of more hybrid then just the typical tank mercs otherwise they will be fairly useless to me.
From the pics I would guess SK and Pally, but it doesn’t seem quite fair to only have tank mercs available.
It’s all well and good if you play a healer class, but if you already play tank a healer merc would be nice.
I’m guessing Inquisitor and Paladin.
It would be nice if these mercs are auto unlocked after you claim them.

Well that is crazy. So say if I am on my SK, or my Monk, why on earth would I want a tank merc.
Does not sound very well thought out to me.
I’d been making suggestions for the 10 year anniversary for a couple years. (Colony island as a house, the original griffon as a mount, a spirit shard house item, stuff that actually had some significance from the first years of the game, ya know?)
Instead we get an add, basically saying “if you haven’t already bought AoD or the merc pack, buy it for your self for the 10th adversary, k?” Know how well that would go over in a relationship? Lets just say things might be getting thrown at the guy.
And from what I’ve heard, the mercs are tanks. :\ Dunno bout you all, but i have yet to find a tank merc that can hold aggro. >..< we'll see though. Maybe there is still some hope? maybe?….
So..10 years and my reward is I can HIRE a merc?
FU eq
Royally disappointed at the reward. 10 year is a milestone no matter what you do and to get 2 tanks is just not thought out well at all. I am a tank, what could i possibly use a paladin/sk for? Not that i need a merc to begin with but at least give us a choice if this is the best you can come up with SOE 🙁
