The Mercenary Contract
Complete dynamic bounties across Economy, PvE, PvP, and Progression, unlock 10 personal milestone tiers, and propel your alliance up the global leaderboard.
Topics covered: The Mercenary Contract Bounty Board, Milestones & Alliance Rewards
The Mercenary Contract is a 4-day alliance event running on Weeks 2 and 5 on Monday. Every commander receives a personalized 5-slot bounty board with mission contracts spanning economy, PvE exploration, PvP combat, and empire progression. All points earned by members pool together to drive their alliance up the global leaderboard.
Event Mechanics & Bounty Board
The Mercenary Contract combines individual agency with alliance-wide teamwork. Every commander receives a personal 5-slot bounty board with dynamically generated mission contracts. Points earned from claiming bounties advance your personal milestone rewards and simultaneously contribute to your alliance's standing on the global leaderboard.
Immediate Slot Replacement
When you complete a contract's target requirement and claim its reward, the contract is redeemed for Mercenary Points and a brand-new contract immediately rolls into that slot with zero downtime.
Trash Cooldown (4 Hours)
If you receive a contract that does not fit your current goals, you can discard it. Trashing a contract puts only that specific slot on a 4-hour cooldown before a fresh contract arrives.
Rarity & Point Values
Contracts roll in three rarity tiers: Common (100 points, 60% probability), Rare (300 points, 30% probability), and Epic (1,000 points, 10% probability).
Uniform Fixed Objectives
All contract target requirements are fixed and identical for all players regardless of Command Center level or progression, giving everyone a fair and equal playing field.
