Atlantica Online: Experience earned by level 1 merc from quests

Short one:

Step 1: New merc level 1 - zero experience
Step 2: complete 1 Wanted Board quest (experience 900,000 reward)
Step 3: received only 155,000 experience for the level 1 - so 17.2% reward only

Atlantica Online: Atlas Ore Adventure

Atlas ore is a very expensive "pleasure" and is also the only way high level people can raise the power of their weapons.

For those who do not know, Atlas Ore is an Item Mail item costing about 10 USD for 100 atlas ore. Different level and enhancement items use different amounts. For example divine shield +5 uses 40 atlas ore to just try to raise it. Dragon God +5 is 120 atlas ore.

No success is guaranteed and the % chance nobody knows. Luck hugely varies. Some people get an item to +10 with maybe 500-1500 ore and others lose completely. My example here I suppose is somewhere in the middle.

So here is how I spent more than 8 billion.
The good thing is that I did not end up in the negative, but I must admit I was hoping for at least one +10 item.

As a note I did only 1 item quite a lot, most of the time up, down, up, down, and then when ore was finishing and it was getting nowhere I tried to improve other weapons same way.

Atlantica Online: Which Independent Mercs to choose ::: Edition 6

Here is the 6th Edition of the independent mercenary list I have managed to gather. Use it to decide which mercs to develop and make independent for maximum profit or specific item collection.

(Independent mercs are those you choose to release (and lose) after they reach level 100 or above. They then send you gifts every 6 days but they request presents every day to keep friendship at 100. The responsible NPC is Fugger, near Columbus)

As always mail me in game or post here below if you want to contribute to this or any other analyses for the good of all (e.g. mining, 18, multi hued crys., spear)

Update: there is in depth information on items but by profession on Atlantica Wiki. Go check it out here: atlantica.wikia.com/wiki/Independent_mercenary

Reminder: the profession is NOT what he is actually doing at the moment but the profession written on the message when he sends you a gift.
