Brink The Merc v3.1 by AdAstra
13.12.2009

Idea by <ch0j1n> on forums.runicgames.com.

Adds quest NPC - Brink The Merc , who wanders around town.
The quest is available after you kill Brink the Corrupted.
You will see the <!> on the map, when you get back to town through the waygate.
Talk to him and he will give you the scroll to summon him.

The `Demonlogy` summon skill and Brink The Merc are now separate mods.

To avoid a situation in which the player will have two of Brink
if he uses Resummon Brink scroll before completing the quest,
i had to change it so now using the said scroll is the only way to summon him.

=======================================
Recipes:

2x Rare Ring + 2x Rare Necklace => Resummon Brink Scroll
3x Identify Scroll => Unsummon Brink Scroll
=======================================

Installation:
Extract `BrinkTheMerc` directory in
%appdata%\runic games\torchlight\mods

Changes in 3.0
- added scroll to unsummon Brink The Merc
- added recipe to create the scroll to unsummon Brink The Merc
- added scroll to re-summon Brink The Merc
- added recipe to create the scroll to re-summon Brink The Merc
- lowered Brink's damage stats.
- added rewards to Brinks quest - Unsummon Brink and Resummon Brink scrolls.
- Brink in town does not become your pet any longer upon completion of the quest,
use the Resummon Brink scroll to summon him.
- removed the `Demonology` summon skill from the mod. It is now a separate mod.

Changes in 3.1
- rebalanced Brink.

Do we have a pet AND brink when using this mod? Oo

Nevertheless added to the Ultimate Modlist Thread, please let me know if you want a different description or if your mod changes so that the current description is not correct anymore:

Brink The Merc by AdAstra
Kill Brink the Corrupted. Talk to Brink the Merc in town. Get him as additional pet.

Thanks!

Yes , you have both. :)
Thanks for adding it to the list!

The description is little misleading.
Maybe something like:
Kill Brink the Corrupted. Talk to Brink the Merc in town. Get him as additional pet.

I intend to give him chance to enrage,
morphing into Brink the Corrupted for limited time, with(of course) more powerful spells. :twisted:

He should receive the bonus from Pet mastery, if thats what you are asking.
Did not test it extensively.

would be really cool if you can make a sort of travelling merchant pet, where you just sell your stuff directly to the dude following you instead of sending dog to town, and make it so it can't die. I got the idea because I read it as Brink the merc(merchant instead of mercenary) at first. lol

anyway nice job!

I had this idea like 5 days ago. Made a post about it and everything.
Of course the posters there said it couldn't be done heh.

That is very cool though, i will definitely download it.


ALSO - someone update me if Brink's damage scales correctly as your character levels up.

2 questions:

Is Brink considered a pet/minion? like a summon or dog?

Does Brink keep his same ability(s) as before?

he is exactly like your dog besides the fact that he doesn't replace the dog, nor does he leave to sell items when you send your dog. also he has some nice abilities, some of his old and some new (i think there are new ones..)

<STRING>DAMAGE_GRAPH:DAMAGE_MONSTER_VERYHARD
armor and health graphs are irrelevant - he is invincible.

That was my first try.
Sadly, when i transfer some items to his inventory, his sword and shield unequip,
and there was no way to equip them again.

Then i tried to change his eqip slots to weapon and shield - he again says "impossible" when i try to equp him.
Its very strange how the pet can equip rings and amulet , but not weapon or shield.
Maybe I am missing something.

On my third try, he waits for you as quest NPC at the bridge, where you start,
so you can get him as soon , as you enter new game.
But when you get to the real Brink, the real replaces this one and then you loose him when he morphs.

There is mod , forgot its name , which contains lots of new fishes ,
you can morph the pet into Brink the Corrupted and some other cool units.
Check the Ultimate mod list.

This is very cool. I think maybe you shaould make him be Brinks brother or something, use the same character and everything just change the name and add a sentence when he joins about saving Torchlight and avenging his brother. Makes more sense than immediately getting Brink back after you kill him.
And on the sixth day God said, "They're not bugs, they're features. Let's ship!"

That's a brilliant idea! He could be Brink's twin brother.

Well..., a think of him as Brink's ghost, hence his (future versions)ability to morph into netherworldly creature :twisted:
Eventually ill make him darker, more sinister skin. And i have an idea about late game quest involving him,
but im not telling more :P

or when you come back to town, brink could say: I've never been so close to death. Thank you NAME. I will join you on your quest to destroy the ember that almost killed me.
