Jarlaxle Baenre - outcast of Menzoberranzan, secret Lord of Luskan, and icon of the Forgotten Realms - will soon be available to be recruited to join the Warriors of Waterdeep!

Laeral Silverhand has her suspicions about his real motives, but is willing to let him do some good for Waterdeep (and keep a close eye on his swashbuckling adventures).

Jarlaxle is a drow elf rogue with the Mighty archetype. He uses trickery, stealth, and surprise to win battles with style… though being handy with a rapier and a bracer of flying daggers certainly helps.

Early Recruitment

Jarlaxle will soon be available as part of an Early Recruitment bundle for VIP players for a limited time, followed by a different Early Recruitment bundle available to all.

The Early Recruitment bundles include the Jarlaxle hero pack, and three equipment card packs.

Recruitment Event

As an Iconic hero, Jarlaxle must be recruited to join your party of heroes. No amount of Renown is enough to persuade him to join without a demonstration of your swashbuckling skill and style.

Starting after January 2020, players can attempt the Jarlaxle’s Grand Entrance recruitment event - a recurring multi-stage Special Event where Jarlaxle is the grand prize for completing all the stages. Along the way, there are rewards to be earned for completing each of the stages.

Once recruited, Jarlaxle joins your party immediately. If the recruitment event ends before Jarlaxle is recruited, Jarlaxle will not join, and you will have to wait for the recruitment event to return to make another attempt.

[[ Warriors of Waterdeep is a game for mobile. While it isn’t as pay-to-win as some other games out there, fair warning, it does have a fairly high paywall. You can still enjoy the game without ever spending any money, but be prepared to do so at a slower pace than players who do pay. 

Up to this point, all the heroes have been recruitable with time, but it sounds like Jarlaxle won’t be. It remains to be seen how much he’ll be blocked by the paywall. ]]
