Mercenary Guild
Overview
The Mercenary Guild is an organization in the service of the united commonwealth of Rune-Midgard Kingdom, Shwarzwald Republic and Arunafeltz States. Mercenaries perform dangerous requests from Guild Masters (Monster and MvP hunting, Card Collection) and are highly respected among experienced adventurers. For completed tasks, Mercenaries are paid with 
Mercenary Coins, which can be spent on various services provided by Guild Masters (Random Options Enchantment and Reroll, Headgear and Costume making, Backpack and Mount hiring, Enriched Stones crafting, Build management, Dungeons access). Mercenaries also have access to the special shops (Food and other Consumables).
Like 
Rebirth Coins and 
Battleground Badges, Mercenary Coins can be traded with other players or sold via Vending.
The Mercenary Guild head office is located at the one of buildings on the central square of Prontera. Mercenary Guild Masters for some unknown reason call the Mercenary Guild 'The House of the Sun', and the Guild itself is led by certain Sleeping Baron, whom almost no one has ever seen.
However, the Mercenary Guild is not such a secretive organization, and accepts determined adventurers into its ranks. Maybe it's time to become a soldier of fortune?
Become a Mercenary
To become a Mercenary, first you may to talk to Levington, the Steward, who can be found in the central part of the building.
Ask him about the Mercenary Guild for the first 2 lines:
- What kind of place is it?
- Who are you?
After a short conversation, Levington will offer you to sign a contract with the Mercenary Guild. If you agree, after signing the contract, he will give you a 
Mercenary Badge, and you'll get access to all tasks and services.
Note: Mercenary Badge allows you to return to the Mercenary Guild once per 10 minutes.

You can find him in his forge located at the bottom-left part of the Mercenary Guild building.

Abrasive Stones
Abrasive Stones allows to change Random Option of an item to another Random Option of the same Option Group. That is, magic weapons (staves, books, magic daggers) can roll magic Random Options only. Range weapons (bows, whips, musical instruments and guns) — range Random Options. And melee weapons (daggers, swords, spear, axes, maces, knuckles, katars and huuma shurikens) — in its turn, melee Random Options. Other equipment parts (Headgears, Armors, Garments, Footwears, Shields and Accessories) have their own Random Option Groups, which can also be re-rolled with Abrasive Stones.
There are 4 types of Abrasive stones:
Rough Abrasive Stone changes 1st Random Option of an item.
Sharp Abrasive Stone changes 2nd Random Option of an item.
Smooth Abrasive Stone changes 3rd Random Option of an item.

Take attention: By default abrasive stones reroll Random Options of Book-type weapons to another Magical Random Options, while for Star Gladiators these options are useless.
