Mercenary bug?

It's been 4 days already. But 3 of my mercenaries(Friend and Guild) are still tired(yellow with sweat).

Is this a bug or like the players need to log in to refresh their mercenary?

 

Definitely a bug, it should reset their energy after 24 hours and they should also replenish their energy in full in an hour or 2 when not being used.

 

Ah yes about this, I also realized that there is some "people" that never recover while some other recover just fine.
I was under suspicision that players that doesn't log in (like hiatus for a long time) doesn't recover their stamina back, as my online guildmates merc recover faster than those that rarely online.

 

Will test this with my brother's merce.

 

Mercs recover in 24 hour IF your friend logs in at least once a day. If they don't the mercs simply stay tired. Same thing on guildmates tho. This is why i always use mercs and kick them out of my friend list if they dont recover(they maybe "dead" accounts anyway so i dont want them stinking out the joint)

 

Damn. All of those three are my hard hitting THS users.

 

Indeed its true no bug. If the person wont login the mercenary will never recover.

 

I agree it seems to refresh if they log in again. I have cleared out my list for the same reason. The only ones I keep even if they're innactive are tank mercs 50k hp since their damage don't matter as much.

 

Def mercs also degrade when they are tired half of hp is lost. Whatever is gained by the registration is lost when the merc is tired. At least your friend still got 25k hp, still good as a tank specially if it generate good aggro amount and gives you freedom to spam combos all day.

 

Actually no hp is the only stat which never degrades no matter how tired the merc is. The stats that do get degraded are def,mdef and flee (aspd too iirc) lowered aspd might cause problem for it to hold aggro tho.

 

Man! That was great to know! Good thing i havent flushed out tanks in my list yet. How much aspd is degraded? Since the navida sheild's aspd only works during their native event(hopefully not a disposable equipt that have to be crafted each year) it is kinda hard to balance hp gears and aspd gears for tank mercs(since drugs only works on partners) best setup i got is snowman suit+ aspd bowgun and aggro sheild(forgot what i put on add and special tho)

 

You could try vulcan shield it gives 250 aspd

 

Thanks for the input, if i have time i may set up my merc to have around 1800 aspd since degregation usually halve the given stats anyway. But i still need to test it out on another account or ask a review of my merc from my guildmates(if they ever gets tired of marathon gemruns, like "hey! I got cheap gemrun, payout but trusted" and they swarm like pinaras for the kill)

 

If the merc is fully tired a given stat if it can degrade will become -90% of its original value upon registering.
Degradation starts if you keep using a merc for more than 2 hours Iirc let me double check tho.
