Can someone explain to me the logic behind coins distribution in Mercenaries?
The text says: Earn some coins for the mercenaries in your party plus a random one of the following.
I did the angry tree in Fellwood. In my party there was Guldan and Tavish. I got 0 coins for those. However, I got 70 coins for King Mukla, who was nowhere near that damn bounty.
So what is the deal with that?
If you look on the page showing the mercenaries you own, you will see the number of coins you have for each one. As you progress through the tasks , hopefully these will build up so you can spend them to upgrade weapons etc. The awarded coins are random so don’t always go where you would wish. Hope this helps
The sentence doesn’t end in a full stop but a :
For that bounty you can earn coins for mercs in your party plus a random one out of: Gul’dan KING MUKLA, Tavish Stormpike.
So Mukla is the one of the 3 you can get coins for from that particular bounty.
I do understand that. But shouldn’t having the same mercenaries that the bounty awards in your party increase the odds of getting “the right” coins? Getting 70 coins for a merc that is not in that party and 10 for one that is, while the other 2 are actually present - kinda sucks, doesn’t it?
It sort of negates any individual progress aimed at levelling up your heroes, as you cannot predict the outcome at all.
I really need to test this, so I will try to farm the bounty only with a 3 merc group. Exactly the ones that the bounty awards. Let us see what happens.
I would presume it does but admittedly don’t know the distributions, just that you got somewhere between unlucky and extremely unlucky but on a single run that can easily happen.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to do by doing a bounty with the 3 mercs that the bounty rewards as it’ll just be split randomly between those 3.
Yep the progress system is bad. (I actually like the mode in general)
I’ve realised I should have actually given some helpful advice. If you’re trying to grind coins for a merc you already have, then what you want to do is go into any level 30 bounty with a party of 3 containing the merc you’re grinding and then hunt down the mysterious stranger tasks as they’ll give you a bunch of coins for that specific merc (or a very small amount if you already have a task for them/full campfire).
You only really need to complete bounties to grind for mercs you don’t have.
Tbh, I do not like the mode so much, so I mostly stick to doing dailies that come via the tavern. It is just the system the system that drives me crazy… I just keep getting Brukan coins all the time.
