Mercenaries are generally hired to garrison a stronghold or wage war in military campaigns. Mercenaries will not accompany their employers on highly dangerous adventures such as dungeon exploration unless they become henchmen. Mercenary Type | Monthly Wage | Peasants (spear) | 3gp | Light Infantry (spear, short sword, shield, leather armor) | 6gp | Heavy Infantry (spear, sword, shield, banded plate armor) | 12gp | Crossbowmen (arbalest, short sword, chainmail) | 12gp | Bowmen (short bow, short sword, leather armor) | 15gp | Longbowmen (long bow, sword, chainmail) | 30gp | Light Cavalry (lance, sword, shield, leather armor, light warhorse) | 30gp | Horse Archers (composite bow, scimitar, leather armor, light warhorse) | 45gp | Medium Cavalry (lance, sword, shield, plate armor, medium warhorse) | 45gp | Heavy Cavalry (lance, sword, shield, plate armor, medium warhorse) | 60gp | Cataphract Cavalry (composite bow, sword, shield, plate, medium warhorse) | 75gp |
These costs are the mercenaries' wages only. The cost of armorers to make and repair troop armor and weapons, stablehands to groom horses, caravans to provide supplies while in the field, and other miscellaneous expenses are not included. Mercenaries in garrison need only be paid their wages, but mercenaries on campaign will expect a share of plunder in addition to wages.
