Rare Bartenders
Grimm, Samantha, Harris and James are the four Rare Bartenders. Their job is at the Highway Tavern.
At 0★ a Rare Bartender already takes 4h 10m off Free Adv. Recruit Time, and that figure stays put. What stars change is the Free Survivor Recruitment CD reduced line: 17m, 35m, 52m, 1h 10m and finally 1h 27m.

Each step needs shards and Survivor Tokens together. Unlock: 10 shards.
Where the cost sits
The cooldown line gains 17 or 18 minutes per star, so the steps are close to even, but they are not priced evenly: 1★ is 25 shards plus 310 tokens and 5★ alone is 250 shards plus 11,000 tokens.
How they compare
- Free Adv. Recruit Time: Rare -4h 10m → -4h 10m, Legendary -6h 30m → -6h 30m
- Free Survivor Recruitment CD reduced: Rare +0s → +1h 27m, Legendary +0s → +2h 5m
- Power: Rare 10,225 → 25,850, Legendary 20,000 → 51,875
- Cost to max: the same for both
Legendary Bartenders pay the same 575 shards and 25,405 tokens and get more on both lines: -6h 30m and up to 2h 5m. Power for the Rare ones runs 10,225 to 25,850, about half the Legendary 51,875.
