It is highly recommended to buy a lvl 200 mercenary, especially to promote it into a general, as you will benefit higher bonus stats + able to wear high stat equipment (even after promoting, your general can keep the equipments it had. However, if you wear it off, you cannot put it back until it has the level required once again).

Lvl 200 mercenaries is very can wear Taehwang Basic Set (Boot, Glove, Belt) which is quite affordable. Boot: around 1.5M Glove: around 1.5M Belt: around 9M

And you will get the following stat boost:

Boot: Strength +100, Agility +100, Physical resistance +40% Glove: Defense +100, Strength +100, Agility +50, Vitality +50 Belt: Defense +100, Strength +100, Vitality +100, Magic resistance +50% 3 Set boost: +50 Wisdom Total stats: Defense +200, Strength +200, Agility +150, Vitality +150, Physical resistance +40%, Magic resistance +50%

The Taehwang Armor and Helmet are quite expensive so unless you have enough money, it is recommended to put Tiger Helmet(+5) and Tiger Armor, just to raise some resistance.

Helmet(+5): Defense +25, Agility +10, Physical resistance +20% Armor(+5): Defense +62, Agility +10, Physical resistance +5%, Magic resistance +5% Total stats:
