    How Do I Obtain Mercenary Coins?

    There are three ways you can obtain Mercenary Coins:

    1. Open Mercenary Coins from Mercenary Card Packs
    2. Complete PvE or PvP Mercenary Battles
    3. Complete tasks at the Campfire

    In the primary PvE mode, which is completing bounties through the Travel Point, you will earn Mercenary Coins based on your party composition and the bounty you are completing.

    When you complete a PvE bounty, a reward chest is given to you at the end of the run. Inside this chest there will be Mercenary Coins as a reward. Based on the composition of your party, and the bounty itself, you will find Mercenary Coins from your random pool of Mercenaries. If you would like to learn which bounties you want to farm for each Mercenary, you can head on over to our Bounties database and select which Mercenary you want to find loot for. You can also find this information on the database page for each Mercenary character (like Alexstrasza).
