Hi everyone!

This is Baiyu, a recently joined member of Aesir Guild! As an attempt to liven up the website and add more game-related help/hints, I will be starting regular posts that combine a bit of op. ed. (opinionated editorial) combined with random tidbits of in-game info.

This is my pilot post, please don’t be too harsh

On Tara Fair

IT’S BACK AGAIN: the spectacle that gives mountains of ego food in the form of fair prizes to contestants with little lag (<–hammer), and leaves the rest in the dust! There are two games – the more popular hammer and darts. Hammer prizes include cat paw club, conky glasses, purple rose bouquet, yukata (M) nontradeable, japanese fan (nontradeable), likeability potions, and WOOD BOARDS (!). This is a godsend for the skill of handicraft, which is usually near-impossible to train due to the difficulty of obtaining wood boards. Since there is such a large influx of wood boards, I suggest you get yer’ handicraft on! (easy dex). Darts is less popular, and tends to reward players with mushroom cookies, fireworks, and mocha drinks. Yay.

ALSO don’t forget: FREE Tara waxen wings in the Cash Shop every day, one time use, 24-hour expiration date. Use it to warp directly to Tara (and I’m not sure if you can use them in Iria or not).

On Capture the Flag Event

from MabiWiki: The Ice Capture the Flag event has experienced a time adjustment. It will now run from 4:00 PM PST to 8:00 PM PST (7:00 PM EST to 11:00 PM EST).

In my opinion a very poorly planned out event, it consists of joining either a red or a blue team at Port Ceann at the time when Lorna and Pan spawn at Port Ceann in Uladh and either 1)running back and forth the playing field trying to obtain watermelons from the other team and bring them back to your own base or 2)”camping” others by constantly freezing them, waiting for them to defrost, then freezing them again. This “camping” is aided in large by the lack of knowledge that tapping your own team member allows them to defrost. Sadface. The rewards are (as Jewelie mentioned below) pirate clothing that is to my knowledge, UNREPAIRABLE.

On Project RM

While this event sounds extremely rewarding (prizes consist of 30 Nao Soul Stones, a “never-to-be-released”  pet and premium character card), the qualifications are both quite confusing and challenging. My understanding of this event is as follows:

1. You “recruit” a friend to make a Mabinogi account, i.e. a Nexon Passport.

2. They must create a Nexon Passport after project RM has started.

3. They must refer you (which they do on the website Nexon.net when they are logged in, under the event tab).

4. Both you and the new character must complete g1, g2, and g3.

http://forum.nexon.net/Mabinogi/forums/thread/5053893.aspx

*according to this thread, players WHO GET REFERRED BY THE NEW ACCOUNT that have skipped g1, g3 are able to go back and do it, though they would not be able to otherwise.

“We will make a special exception for older players who have skipped Advent of the Goddess and Dark Knight. Of course, we think it benefits user experience for players who participate in all the mainstream storylines! Note that a NEW player MUST complete Advent of the Goddess, Paladin, and Dark Knight mainstream story quests. If you are new, DO NOT skip these quests!”

Also, a new character account finishing those mainstream quests, which are mostly solo? Sounds at least tedious, if not difficult, to me.

Conclusion

Nexon has planned plenty of exciting things to keep us occupied during the dog days of summer. Hope to see you all soon!

This is Baiyu, signing off. Till next time~

Capture the Flag is back! This time, the winning team gets a pretty nifty prize. So don’t miss out! I say, get on the game now and play for this event!

What: Capture the Flag! Same concept, but the game objective is to steal watermelons from your opposing team and bring them back to your own team!

When: 4pm PST – 8pm PST

Rules

IF YOU ARE ON THE WINNING TEAM, YOU’LL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN A PIRATE BOATSWAIN COSTUME, BOATSWAIN BOOTS, OR PIRATE BANDANA!

It’s open season on all the bosses residing in the dungeons of Uladh, and you’re invited to get in on the action!

Log into the game on May 5th to receive a quest from Fleta that invites you to browse through the event items she has in-stock. You’ll discover that the wandering saleswoman has churned out quite the Fomor Hit List! Fleta sells four volumes of collection books, with each one upping the requirements for completion.

The first book will send you to four dungeons: Alby, Ciar, Rabbie, and Math. Your chances of obtaining the required item depend on the difficulty of the dungeon. In other words, you have a better chance of obtaining the item from an “Advanced” dungeon than from a “Regular” one.

As you complete the collection book volumes, you’ll be asked to visit more dungeons across Uladh, including Fiodh, Rundal, Coill, and Barri. Complete these collection books to gain some powerful and specially-colored items!

Good luck!

Hello again Aesir,

Friednooblet here and boy did Nexon give us alot of updates! Here we go!

First as I’m sure all of you have realized that Mabinogi website got a remodel!

Go check it out here

Next we have Farming! Feeling bored just buy a plot of farm land from the farming manager in Taillteann for 30k and get started. You can pick from a variety of plants such as pumpkins, strawberries and eggplants. But there is more! Just like any farm you have to take care of it for  week by watering it, fertilizing it and removing any bugs that may be present.

New Shadow Missions

We have 3 new shadow missions which are

Offering-To complete this shadow mission, you must forcefully attack the Fomors into the radius of the glyph

Provocation-It is a gladiator style deathmatch with you facing off opponents solo. When you finally beat all your opponents (13 rounds) you will face the former commander himself!

Synthesis- Dorren the Master Alchemist requests that you synthesize two Stabilized Shadow Crystals using a Fomor dry oven located at the center of Shadow Taillteann. But there’s a catch—you’ll need to fight Fomors to obtain the special ingredients required to forge the stabilized crystals!


Next we have new synthesis items the Fitted Cord Suit, Fitted Cord Shoes, and the Frilled Short Dress

Finally we have a new pet!

Elephants!

These little cute elephants can spray water that can add to your fire resistance or damage an enemy.

Hi again Aesir,

Friednooblet here and nexon decided to release a bunch of things at the same time!

First up we have the Easter Egg Eggscavation!

It’s Easter time in Mabinogi! As you go about your part time jobs collecting eggs, you may notice the hens of Erinn look a little perplexed.  Upon gathering their eggs, you may sometimes collect a fossilized Easter egg! Simply free the Easter egg from the slate and rock in a reasonable amount of time without damaging the egg.If you are successful, you will receive an iconic Easter Egg Capsule. Pop it open to gain access to the sweet morsels inside. The candy will provide you with special stat bonuses for a short time. To increase the chance that you will get some of this special stat candy, you may use the Event Reward Booster Potion, available in the in game cash shop.

Next up we have the Bonus School Uniform Character Cards out for Limited Time Only!

As spring break slowly winds to an end, it’s time to get your character back into the school spirit. And what better way to do so than with the new Premium School Uniform Character Cards? For a limited time beginning March 31 to April 13, you’ll have the opportunity to create a new character or rebirth a current character into these spring fashion School Uniforms!

Finally I will close with some new skills that will be coming out in the next patch Flame Burst and Sand Burst!

If you’re looking to confront a group of enemies, go for the Flame Burst. Using a Fire Crystal (from Eabha in Taillteann) for Flame Burst, you can shoot a stream of fire from your cylinder that will attack enemies up to three times with increasing damage after each charge. This skill does require you to be in close proximity to your foes, so make sure you have an after-attack plan!Those who’ve learned Sand Burst and happen to own a Clay Crystal can throw sand into an enemy’s eyes and blind it temporarily. This will enable you to set up another skill or simply escape. Just be careful not to use Sand Burst consecutively, since sand causes erosion and you’ll risk damaging your cylinder.

Greetings Aesir,

It’s getting close to Mabinogi’s 2nd Anniversary, and Eweca’s orbit has never been closer to Erinn! Grab a seesaw and jump the moon to complete a quest for a Cow Robe! Yes you heard me right a C-O-W Robe! You have to time your jumps exactly right to make it at least 15 feet up in the air before the seesaw expires. But you can’t do it alone grab a friend to try this gravity defying stunt and soar to the moon before the event ends!

Greetings Aesir,

this is my first post so sláinte!

Why so Irish? Check out the new Mabinogi Event and find out! It’s the Saint Patrick’s Day!  So check it out for yourself and get a Saint Patrick Suit for ya gender!

You have 3 chances of getting the suits: the special Rabbie four-leaf-clover Reward chest, the leprechaun boss and the Good Luck Potion. So what are ye waiting for ? The event lasts till March 23rd!

Hi everyone, I’m trying to post more stuff here until we can get more site authors.  For those of you that don’t visit Mabinogi forums you should know that there is a big player run event that is going on called the Tarlach Fair.  Has lots of events and sign ups seem to be done in the Tarlach section of Mabinogi Life forums. Events being held include: Music, cooking, fishing, PvP, Shadow running and more.

Following is part of the event organizer’s site on the fair: http://tarlach.wikidot.com/ go there for more links and more information.

The Next Fair (March 20th) is being held in and around Taillteann due to G9 being released a month earlier than Spook was expecting.

With rules and prizes written with every person in mind, the Fair is now sponsoring even more events than ever! Show your skills and tear down the walls, who are the REAL Top Players of Tarlach? Find out, March 20th!

• Gauntlet not actually thrown by any Bliss member, Spook just thought it sounded good considering all the latest gossip and forum threads.
• Kentngo thought this was funny.

Welcome to the website for the Tarlach Fair, an event inspired by the players angry with wasting time on Nexon Random Events to get nothing but empty bottles, NPC buyable items, or equipment that was untradable for the opposite gender. With the ride of packet editors and modders during December cheating the skiing event and the people with 20+ characters forcing the owls to give them 20 or more Becky Witch Dresses, Spooklee came to the conclusion hat there was too much negativity going on over Mabinogi and wanted to bring back the good old days of a united community that was here for Fun and Friendship.

With only 3 weeks to work with and a randomly selected date, the first Tarlach Fair was held on December 16th and staffed entirely by Spook’s closest friends, those he trusted the most to be fair and honest to anyone who decided to attend the event. The fair was hosted in Emain Macha, and the staff had guessed maybe 30 people would attend, from the friends they had told and said they would come. When the proverbial gates opened and the Fair announced its first event, over fifty players were packed into the central square about Spooklee, excited and asking questions. As the fair went on and reports filtered in, more and more people kept showing up, asking what was going on and signing up for events.

What had originally meant to be a small gathering of people looking for something different to do ended up being a 200 player party rivaling the lag of the Market channel and boasted the total lack of bots and advertisement spammers. The event itself, understaffed as it was, ended up lasting just over 5 hours and all who attended came back asking for more, saying it was the best run player made event they’d ever seen and maybe Nexon should hire Spooklee. There were event comments from other servers begging Spooklee to make a fair for them too, so jealous they were of Tarlach’s success.

Due to popular demand, Spooklee has agreed to continue organizing fairs for the community of Tarlach, and the Staff is growing as interest is increasing and word is getting out. The fair is run 100% on donated gold, items and time of players dedicated to bring good times and joy back to the community at large. Much to the surprise of the community, Spooklee announced running a fair once every three months rather than twice yearly.

Disclaimer; Spooklee, the filmographers, permanent and temporary staff do not work for Nexon. We have no ability to bend the rules of the game or cause things to spawn where they should not. The fair is completely made by players, for players. There are no GMs in our staff, no Tech staff and no Customer Support Staff. As far as Spooklee can tell, not having a major in Business is preventing Spook from being able to actually work for Nexon. Go figure.

If you want to learn more about Spooklee, there’s a page for that. If you want to see the current staff for the next upcoming fair, there’s a page for that too. Spook is making an effort to consistently update the website as new information becomes available, but only information that is important to fair events. This will not be a general news site nor a patch information website. There will never be a forum here, and membership is limited to those whom Spook can trust for getting a particular job done.

Hi guys! Here in Canada, there can potentially be 4 things to celebrate this weekend~

1) Valentine’s Day – Hope everyone is spending quality time with their significant other. But you should be nice to your significant other all year round. It shouldn’t take a special day to make us realize that.

2) Lunar New Year – If you’re from a country that uses the lunar calendar, Happy New Year! This is typically the case if you’re Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Mongolian, Tibetan, or pre 1873 Japanese. If I missed anyone, sorry ^^;;

3) Family Day – This is a holiday added by the Canadian government just over 2 years ago. We’ll take it! It is also celebrated in some other places around the world.

4) Reading Week – University students in Canada get a week off in February. It’s roughly equivalent to Spring Break, but way less fun, unless TV is lying to me.
