By default they are turned off, so set AllowMercs to true. If you're no SQL guru you can use HEidiSQL (it's free) to edit the values visually, but if you're keen on learning SQL (which is really quite a big part of the EQ Emu server system):-

UPDATE `peq`.`rule_values` SET `rule_value`='true' WHERE  `ruleset_id`=10 AND `rule_name`='Mercs:AllowMercs';

ruleset_is=10 is the default EQEmu one, and is applied at the zone level (so different zones could use different rulesets, presumably so you can have pvp zones or not)...

This doesn't seem to be working for me for some reason.



They aren't changing to true. I also reloaded everything, logged into the game and checked. The mercs still won't do anything.

that statement is for ruleset 10. if you dont care about the ruleset then type:

UPDATE rule_values SET rule_value='true' WHERE rule_name='Mercs:AllowMercs';

Well the AllowMerc values all turned to true. But, the mercs still aren't working. Also when I try that third query:

SELECT name,class FROM npc_types WHERE class = 71 LIMIT 2;

It still says empty.. Apparently, that query is searching for the two warrior liasons. I know they are there in-game. They just won't let me talk to them. Same for all the other liasons.
