Mercenary Aspect: The Soulreaper

Next up is Ascension Switching. This feature for characters at, or above, adventuring level 100 will be granted a new spell named Ascendancy that allows you to change their active ascension class.  

  • When cast, Ascendancy grants the option to switch to any ascension class the character has at the cost of 1 Fragment of Ascendancy. 
  • If a character does not have an ascension class, they will be given the option to add that ascension class at the cost of 10 Fragment of Ascendancy. 
    • Fragment of Ascendancy can be purchased on the Marketplace. 

And finally, when initially signing a mercenary contract, you will be given the option to immediately hire that mercenary from anywhere in the world as long as that area allows mercenaries! 

  • Own a contract and examine it to accept it with the mercenary. 
  • That Mercenary will be added to your list of Known Mercenaries. 
  • Marketplace and Promotional Mercenaries will open the Mercenary Hire UI remotely one time upon signing the contract. 
  • To hire the same mercenary again, you will have to go to it physically in the world or use a hire anywhere Marketplace Item again. 

Quick recap, Ascension Switching and Mercenary Hire from Anywhere features are live NOW! Subscription Bundles are also live NOW, but only for a limited time and will end July 6, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT!
