MercenaryBruiser · Sword & Shield / Hammer

The archetypal frontline Hunter — a durable melee bruiser built around sword-and-board and blunt weapons, trading sustained pressure for survivability.

ASolid pick in our tier read: The unanimous beginner pick — high base survivability and forgiving sword-and-board play that makes mistakes cheap while you learn routes and extraction timing. Damage is solid rather than scary; single-target boss damage lags the dedicated DPS classes.

“Listed now” is the lowest current auction listing; the recommended price is the game's suggested fair value.

Repairs cost 0.0125g per point of durability, so taking it from broken back to full is 15g — 17% of its 90g fair value. Wear costs you the same either way: a worn piece sells for its price minus that per-point rate for every point missing.

Rates are the chance per chest opened or monster looted. Low rolls also build up the drop guarantee, which upgrades a future drop to Legendary once it fills.

Your real odds

The rates above are how often the source's loot roll fires. That roll then hands you one piece out of 54 class-matched pieces, so the chance of walking away with Veteran Helmet specifically is about 0.28% from its best source — roughly 1 in 359 kills, if the pool picks evenly.

Every roll that misses still fills the drop guarantee, so a long dry streak is not wasted.
