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.

Note: Tarot Cards can be used in the Prophecy System, which will be introduced in the next update.
Card Collection System
Jennette names a few random non-boss 
Cards, collecting which you will receive a reward.
First, she allows you to select a deck:

Bertholdo, the Smith
Bertholdo is the oldest Master of the Mercenary Guild. He is the only person in the Rune-Midgard kingdom and beyond who can craft Enriched Stones and materials for Random Options changing. Many lords and nobles wanted to buy his services, but Bertholdo only works with mercenaries.
You can find him in his forge located at the bottom-left part of the Mercenary Guild building.
Enriched Stones
Enriched Stones are improved versions of regular Oridecon and Elunium. The chance of successful refine using Enriched Stones is calculated twice.
To create enriched stones, Bertholdo asks for the following materials:
Enriched Oridecon: 5 
Oridecon, 10 
Rough Oridecon, 10 Mercenary Coins, 650 000 Zeny.
Enriched Elunium: 5 
Elunium, 10 
Rough Elunium, 10 Mercenary Coins, 650 000 Zeny.
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.
Delicate Abrasive Stone changes 4th Random Option of an item.
Bertholdo is ready to make each abrasive stone for a specific fee:
- Rough Abrasive Stone: 30
Coal, 30

Mystic Frozen, 10 Mercenary Coins, 1 800 000 Zeny
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.
That's why Bertholdo accepts special orders for creating materials, which allow to reroll Random Options of a Book-type weapon to another Physical Random Option:
