Unlocking the Mercenaries Ability
The Mercenaries ability stands out as one of the most versatile legendary powers available in A Universal Time. Unlike standard abilities that focus on a single kit, Mercenaries provides a unique tactical advantage by allowing players to switch between nine different classes, each equipped with signature weaponry. To add this power to your collection, you must follow a specific questline initiated by the Skaidev NPC.
Finding the quest giver is your first step. You can locate Skaidev in the Alabasta region. Specifically, head to the second floor of the last building situated on the left side of the area. Interacting with Skaidev starts the process of proving your worth as a mercenary.
Gathering the Required Items
Before you can face the challenge required to obtain the ability, you must scavenge for seven essential pieces of equipment. All these items are found within chests scattered throughout the game world. Because these items are essential to the quest, it is recommended that you clear out as many chests as possible in high-density loot areas to speed up the process.
Flamethrower
Medic’s Equipment
Grenade Launcher
Eyelander
Chargin’ Targe
Rocket Launcher
Knife
Once you have gathered all seven items, your next objective takes you to a different environment. Ensure your inventory is clear and you have sufficient health before proceeding, as the next stage involves a significant combat encounter.
Defeating The Spy Boss
The final stage of the quest involves confronting The Spy boss. This boss is not a permanent fixture in the world but follows a timed spawn cycle.
Tip
The Spy boss spawns at the Floating Village every 20 minutes. He is typically found near the waterfall on the left corner of the village.
The boss possesses 13,685 HP, making it a moderately challenging encounter if you are under-geared. According to community reports, simply participating is not enough; you must deal at least 10% of the boss's total health in damage to qualify for the completion credit.
Travel to the Floating Village once the spawn timer approaches.
Engage The Spy boss and ensure you maintain consistent damage output.
Monitor your damage contribution; players often use high-DPS abilities to ensure they cross the 10% threshold.
Once defeated, return to the Skaidev NPC in Alabasta to turn in the completed quest and unlock the Mercenaries ability.
Mastering the Nine-Class System
The true value of this ability lies in its flexibility. By equipping signature weapons, you effectively change your playstyle on the fly. Whether you need the crowd-control capabilities of the Flamethrower or the specialized utility of the Medic’s Equipment, having all nine classes at your disposal makes you a formidable opponent in both PvP and PvE scenarios.

Do I need to keep the items after the quest?
Once you have turned in the items to Skaidev and completed the quest, the items are consumed. You do not need to hold onto them to use the ability.
What happens if I don't deal 10% damage?
If you fail to meet the damage threshold, you will not receive the necessary drops from the boss to progress the quest. You will need to wait for the next spawn cycle and attempt the fight again.
Is the Mercenaries ability considered meta?
Because of its ability to adapt to different combat situations via its nine-class system, it is highly valued by players who enjoy versatile, high-skill-ceiling kits.
