Mercenary Training Reminder

Here's how to use the new Mercenary QoL feature that was mentioned in the July Waypoints newsletter. The idea is to set up a simple tooltip reminder whenever you start training any mercenary. The reminder will stay persistent until you refresh it, or until you start training a different mercenary.

When it's all set up, the reminder icon looks like this:

You can click the icon to switch to the details page for your current mercenary. If you don't have a reminder set up yet, click the big blue icon at the top to switch to the details page.

If this mercenary is already in training, you'll be able to create a reminder using the Edit button. You'll only get the Edit button when the current mercenary is also the one in training.

When you are ready to start the next round of training, or if you decide to train a different mercenary, click the Start Training button as usual and you'll get two overlapping dialogs. The first is the confirmation to start training, and the second will be the reminder setup box.

After confirming that you want to start training, you can save the reminder which has been filled in with the correct info for you.

If this feature is not useful to you, we have an easy way to disable and re-enable it any time. Take a look at this post for all the details.

And that's all there is to it! Now you can finally get rid of that post-it note stuck to the side of your monitor. And make sure Raffik stays out of the apple rum!

Hey Tim, please check your Discord -- I want to send you a file

Quick edit and no more multiple mouse clicks to start training. Whew! I'm glad it's useful for some folks, but just wasn't something I needed or was looking for. Thanks for the ability to disable it.

Thank you for your feedback, Tim. Sorry this feature is giving you trouble. When you start (re)training a mercenary you can click Cancel on the reminder dialog and that should get you back to where you would be without the feature. If you'd rather see it go away entirely, you can change a value in the file. I added some info in the article above for what to do. Please post again or message me if I can assist further.

How can I turn this feature off? I track all my mercenary, mount, and Skill/Spell training using a to do list on my iPad so I can get notifications and keep track of training for all my characters. This feature isn't particularly useful to me and in fact causes me several additional mouse clicks every time I start new training on a merc.
