The Act I mercenary, the Rogue, can be hired from {{s|Act I|Kashya}} in the center of the Rogue Encampment. She uses bows (which don't need arrows) but cannot equip crossbows or Amazon bows.

However, Rogues ''can'' use the Amazon skills {{s|Passive and Magic Skills|Inner Sight}} and either {{s|Bow and Crossbow Skills|Fire Arrow}} or {{s|Bow and Crossbow Skills|Cold Arrow}}. Cold Arrow is usually preferable as it can slow nearby monsters.

Rogues make very useful companions early on, but are not widely used later. Suggested equipment is a fast bow with high damage and life steal (cold damage is an added bonus). An ideal helm offers more life steal, damage reduction, and possibly increased attack speed. Since the Rogue has relatively low Strength and uses ranged attacks, it's probably better to use body armor that adds resistances rather than high defense.

The Act II mercenary, the palace guard, can be hired from {{s|Act II|Griez}} in the northern part of Lut Gholein. He can use a javelin, spear or polearm, and makes a decent melee fighter. He cannot equip {{DIILoD|Amazon javelins}} or {{DIILoD|Amazon spears}}.

The Act III mercenary, the Iron Wolf, can be hired from {{s|Act III|Asheara}} in the north-western corner of the Kurast Docks. The only weapon they can equip is a sword, but as spell casters they very rarely attack with them. They don't require mana to use their skills.
