Ragnarok online zeny is formed part of the mercenary system, so you must store some. Mercenaries are soldiers that will fight at your side on the battlefield, but there are a few terms and conditions you must fulfill to hire them. You must fulfill a level requirement and pay a zeny to hire a Mercenary.
Higher grade Mercenaries will also require that you build a loyalty rating with the Mercenary guild. Mercenary contracts can not be transferred to other people and only 5 Base Level difference is allowed between the Mercenary and client so you can not hire one much stronger than you.
The Summon Scroll will call a Mercenary to your side. You can not give this scroll to anyone else and the Mercenary will only remain with you for 30 minutes after you summon him. The mercenary system is like an updated version of the Homunculus system.
The difference is mercenaries have fixed stats based on the level of mercenary summoned. Both homunculus and mercenary can be used by the same player at once.
You should note the following.
1. There is no feeding required.
2. He has a maximum of 15 cells away from summon.
3. He can be used both in PVP and WOE maps, but could not damage the emporium.
4. The level of mercenary is distinguished through headgear.
5. Stats may increase based on kill count.
6. High level mercenaries are loyalty dependent.
7. Reputation is specific to each guild of mercenaries.
8. Each mercenary system contract lasts for 30 minutes.
9. You can buff the mercenary but with restrictions. See below post.
10. There is a recovery potion for mercenary.
11. Attack speed enhancers are available for the mercenary as well.
12. The mercenary has skills based on their level and guild.
