But mercenary contracts are supposed to expire after some time, letting you exit the contract without any penalty. The whole point of working as a mercenary is to build renown. It isn’t a bug, more of a missing feature. I believe that it’s critical for players who intend to startup their own kingdom one day to be able to leave a mercenary contract through expiration, and I would hope that TW is planning on adding it but for the time being the only solid way to make money is raid hideouts and get workshops.
