Can someone tell me the hire and upkeep costs of a Tier 5 merc (at whatever your level happens to be)?
Is it too early to attempt the Tier 5 progression with my trio of druid-mage-mage (L77) plus mercs? 13k-14k HP/mana or thereabouts and Servant of Chaos pet focus from the PoK earring. If so, what level would be more realistic to try?
That expansion was set up with a level cap of 85 so I may be pushing my luck at this point but I thought I'd ask.

If I recall correctly, the min. level is 80.
You're talking to me all wrong... It's the wrong tone. You do it again and I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron.
A year ago, I saw people talking about level 75 being the requirement to do Murdunk's (and the rest of the required tasks). So I think you can get J5 mercs that early.
Regarding the costs, I don't have access to J5s, but between last year and now (while I was on another break), the purchase cost on mercs went down about 98% (A5 level 78 went from 1700+pp to 37pp to purchase). The maintenance cost is now roughly equal to the purchase cost.

Thanks Lucky and Tat. I am glad to hear the cost was lowered, as I had read old posts that suggested the high price which was rather scary.
I guess I'll just have to go try the quests to see if I can do them at this level (as in, am I capable as opposed to am I allowed to start them). I've been slowly working through old expansions (Den Lord Skull arc from DoDH and Dagmire's Hand from TBS my latest achievements) and having moved up to Katta Castrum missions the leap in mob strength makes me think I should take some time out to upgrade the mercs before progressing further.

Glad to help :)
2 more quick items:
1 - Aug removers were also lowered in price about 90% in the last year, so there's another bonus you may not have noticed
2 - What server are you on? If Tunare, I have a 78 Mage who could help with the quests if you want (and get J5 access as well!)

Thanks but I'm on FV after free transfer from hmm, whatever Innoruuk merged with after Nameless...E Marr I think.
I did spot the nice drop in distiller prices when I moved hand augs about. XV was less than 200pp. I am really poor (considering folks are selling stuff here for millions of plat) and that helped a lot!
