Additionally, we're substantially increasing the Orichalcum earnings during this event. Each day, defeating an Epic Mercenary or an Epic Ship will give 15 Orichalcum, giving you a total of 105 instead of the usual 40 per week. Don't miss out, because in November Epic Encounters will return to their weekly schedule.
The past year has meant so much to the Assassin's Creed team and we are happy to have had the opportunity to share the game with you all. As we wrap up the post launch support for Assassin's Creed Odyssey, we want to thank all our players journeying with Alexios and Kassandra, and for remaining one of the most passionate communities there is. We look forward to new adventures with you all in the future!

As far as I can remember, ALL the ori epic mercs appeared on land! They are separate challenges from the epic ship challenges! If you check the calendar on the sticky post it tells you the exact date each merc will appear, & all the dates for the ship skins!
You only get 1 challenge per day! Check the message boards in the world for the Bounty on a Mercenary!
