DIABLO 2 MERCENARIES FREE
This was changed with the expansion, as hirelings gained the ability to travel between different Acts and can now be revived if killed (it's still possible to get a free mercenary if the player has not hired a mercenary before, or has not completed the Sisters' Burial Grounds quest back in Act I, but this is unlikely to happen).
In the original Diablo II game, the player would receive a free mercenary upon completing Blade of the Old Religion (quest).
The Iron Wolves from Kurast are Sorcerer-knights, and guards of the Kurast Docks. Amazon skills will increase Inner Sight, Fire Arrow/Cold Arrow on a Rogue, on a Desert Mercenary it will only increase the Jab attack. They do (although not shown at their stats screen) benefit from extra skills, to that which their skills are native e.g. Hirelings do not possess Vitality, Mana, Energy, or Stamina, and as such, do not gain any benefits from items increasing those stats. Any gear left on the old hireling will be lost, so be sure to remove their items first. Players can still hire a new hireling when their old one's dead. Armor is mostly unlimited, with the exception that hirelings cannot wear any Class-specific Items, other than the Barbarian, who can wear Barbarian Helms. Hireling weapons are limited to their class. Hirelings could also be healed by dragging a health potion onto the hireling's profile, or by pressing Shift and (right-clicking the potion or using belt slot hotkey). A slain hireling could now also be resurrected, preserving their equipment and level. They received a new stats screen, allowing the player to equip them with items (even rare, set, and unique items) to further enhance their stats and combat potential. They came to be regarded as co-adventurers as they would now cross into other acts. In the Lord of Destruction expansion pack, hirelings were radically improved. For instance if the player had a Rogue Archer and traveled to Lut Gholein, the Rogue would disappear upon entering Act II. Also, hirelings couldn't enter different acts. Once killed, that hireling would be lost forever and the player would have to hire a new one. In the original, non-expansion Diablo II, Hirelings had only a limited use as they were killed easily.
Like player characters, hirelings can also level-up and become slightly stronger over time. They can be killed by monsters and can use spells and skills as well. They follow the character and stay in a fixed radius around the character. Hirelings assist the player by attacking monsters.
