is there a any master merc or just journeymen? how do we get one?
None as of yet. Maybe with the next expansion. Maybe never. Keep an eye out on the patch notes or News here or on official Sony EQ forums about it.

Should be linked to the Amygdalan Mercenaries, not the Terrifying.

I see these Mercs from time to time and they appear to be enchanters but i can't find any information as to how to acquire them. Can anyone fill me in?
the cost depends on the merc - the best cost 9775 ppp with upkeep of 97pp every 10 min or so
If you are a level 20 Gimp with **** gear u cannot afford the best but if you are average level 90 u cannot afford not to have the best healer or tank (they are crutial rolls in a group and if they die the group dies and that will cost u a lot more (in lost loot) than the 97pp.
I have been unable to asertain if Legendary mercs are better than the standard T5 Journeymen that cost 9775 but my understanding is that they are the same in function just look "better" / different.
Most ppl beleive that rogues and better dps than caster mobs but they take agro a lot easier than the caster ones and if they are week they will die. So if u are Gimp and cannot guarentee a group with ubber tank and have to or wish to get a lower level DPS i would suggest going for the caster.
One final note of interest u can transfer mercs to other players (if u have two accounts) BUT remember to keep tonnes of cash on you - If u run out of money for upkeep u loose the merc 10k down the drain.

Wow that is really cool that it is affordable. I was throwing around the idea of buying the collectors edition of the new expansion so I could get the wailing banshee mercenary because I thought it would probably be more powerful but I didn't know if you could use that at level 1 which is where I will be starting from. Also the extra bags from the collectors edition would be nice since I am starting from pretty much nothing and I think there might even be a mount which if I could use early in the game would be awesome. Like I said I am starting out from the bottom so maybe the amount of pp I would save for not having to buy a mount and the bag slots would be worth the extra money in real life.
Can someone please explain How this works and can you add /stance assist to a hotkey? I tried that and didn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Mercs are functional group members, and while its preferrable to have real players, they do a good job of filling in holes in the group...

I'm thinking of coming back to EQ. Are the mercenaries as good as they sound, or did SOE pull an SOE?

I'm thinking of coming back to EQ also and mercenaries are one of the reasons. Can you buy them at lower levels and about how much do they cost? I have searched for the answers but have not found them yet.
Free at 1st and 2nd level to buy, maybe up to 4th level for Journeymen, maybe up to 9th level for Apps. No upkeep until 5th level for Journeymen mercs, and none till 10th level for Apps, if I remember correctly. Maintenance (Upkeep) is about 1pp at 20th level, and a little less than 1pp more / level above that for Journeymen Tier Is.
