Update: Our very own Miriflower and Zhorge came in the third place party! Congratulations to you both!

Long time no see! No, I’m not dead, just really busy >_>

You may have noticed Miri has an authoring account now as well as Vi. Hopefully we’ll see more fun filled posts and updates. I’ll be getting other Aesir members to help with updates in other sections. I can’t keep up anymore ><

Sorry about the lateness of this post, but it’s still relevant for Tarlach (yay) and Alexina. I’m  not so sure people from other servers really cares about this website anyways, hehe. If you’re really interested in the event, you can check the wiki or the forums for more information from the guys that have already done it on Ruiari and Mari. Since there are only prizes for the first 3 party, preparation and co-ordination between all 8 members is essential.

GM Manhunt!

Mabinogians a GM manhunt is on the way!

There will be three GMs hidden in and around Erinn, your job is to find them and use the information they give you to find the fourth GM.

The 3 GMs will be spread out between the continents of Uladh, Rano, Physis, and Connous. Your party will need to scour the surface of Erinn in order to locate all three GMs. Each GM will periodically be giving out hints as to where they are located. Once you do find one, they will give you a hint to the location of the fourth GM.

* GM 1
will name of dungeon in which 4th GM is hiding.

* GM 2
names the item to be dropped in the altar to enter the dungeon in which the 4th GM is located.

* GM 3
will name the eight items need to be traded to the 4th GM in order to receive the prize.

Work in parties of 8 to look for the GMs and find the 4th GM.

The first 3 parties to find the fourth GM and trade them all the items will win 3 Soldier Gachapon as well as 10,000 NX.

The GM event will take place on:

Mari:
September 17 @ 3:00pm – 6:00pm PDT

Ruairi:

September 18 @ 3:00pm – 6:00pm PDT

Tarlach:

September 21 @ 3:00pm – 6:00pm PDT

Alexina:

September 22 @ 3:00pm – 6:00pm PDT

Good luck!

Here’s a new event that gives an excuse to try the new record feature in mab.  ^^ Lets see how creative and helpful we can get with our videos.

~♥ Violetta

Strategy Video Contest

Hail, Mabinogians!


To participate, use the YouTube video reply function on only the video below (direct link here). The Mabinogi staff has provided an example of how to perform the “Ice Counter.” Feel free to take advantage of the YouTube “annotations editor” feature so that you may make notes regarding important points in your strategy video.

We strongly suggest players use the in-game recording function, but if you prefer another method of recording, you will not be penalized or disqualified.

Give a brief description of your video in the video information window and be sure to include your main character’s name and server.

This event will run between July 29th and August 12th.

Some of you are already reaching into various Dan ranks, improving your disciplines, and refining your abilities. How do you make use of such powerful abilities? Anyone can windmill, but it takes a true warrior with finesse to perfect it– to utilize it in a strategic fashion. Are you willing to share your secrets with the rest of the Mabinogi population? What tricks do you have up your sleeve when you find yourself in the middle of a trap in the dank and musty Rundal dungeon? Do you use a pet to draw attention away from yourself while you wind up a killer magic attack? Maybe you have a special way of catching fish! Are there any cooking recipes you find that allow you to speed up your training method?

Become the Mabinogi community’s very own Ranald! Pass on your knowledge to other players for a chance to win a figurine of Nao dressed in her adventuring outfit! We will choose seven of our favorite videos and send each of those winners an Adventure Nao figurine!

Looks like we’re getting a total of 9 hours of double exp this weekend. It’s not a lot of time, but might as well cash out on it.

On a side note, they could have mentioned Canada day. Come on, it’s like only 3 days away. We have fireworks too D:

Greetings Mabinogians!

Happy Independence Day! In honor of Independence Day in the U.S., we will be hosting a special Double Exp weekend! This would be a great opportunity to invest some time and effort into getting the most out of your experience gains. The double exp will take place on Friday the 3rd, Saturday the 4th, and Sunday the 5th, from 12:00 pm PST ~ 3:00 pm PST.

Have a fantastic and safe weekend!

Sorry for the late update! ^^;; I know you’d probably rather read a cute update from Vi, but you’re stuck with me on this one. Looks like a lot of interesting updates this time.

Summer Premium Cards

The male version actually looks wearable this time. It’s a good bonus if you’re buying a premium card to change your looks anyways but it’s not worth buying otherwise. The female version is significantly better than the male, as usual. It’s not as good as last year’s but it might be worth picking up.

Mimic Pets

These things have massive inventory space. Here’s a table for quick comparison taken straight from the mabinogiworld wiki.

Mimic Cost Summon Time Inventory Space Cost per Inventory Space
Antique 8100 NX 121 minutes 54 (6×9) 150 NX
Wooden 4800 NX 92 minutes 36 (6×6) 133.3 NX

The cost per inventory space is much higher than the best value White Jindo (86.1 NX/space). Of course, there are other uses for mimics such carrying rider(s) (Antique carries 3, wooden carries 1), move quickly (relative to human walking speed), and protection from monsters. Not to mention their unique ability to turn monsters into statues!

Shaved Ice

The shaved ice event feels like a waste of time. Although the effort is minimal, the reward is just some food.

Fourth Of July/Canada Day

Fireworks Event is a great event for ego feeding. During the dark hours (7pm-5am) you can launch fireworks purchased from any general store. If you launch it more than 12 m (?) in the air, you get a 4th of July gift box. The gift box functions like a gachapon which gives out 5 hp/sta/mana 100 pots or clothing. There is a list of items at mabiwiki. You can launch one firework every minute. This corresponds to 40 Erinn minutes. If you time yourself, you can launch 15 fireworks per night. The gift boxes can be traded so stock up and mule them for future ego feeding! If you have multiple clients or computers, you could rack up the gift boxes even faster. Happy Canada Day and Happy Fourth Of July~!

Beginner Gachapon Sale

Finally, there is a sale on beginner Gachapons. They are 50% off. I somehow doubt this will boost sales of beginner Gachapons.

New event in the last major patch. You get the quest automagically when you log in. I’ll post some details if and when I clear the event.

Of what do Imps dream? Find out for yourself in this free-for-all event!





To participate, visit the curious-looking imp (known amongst the folk of Erinn as the “Barker Imp”) just west of Tracy’s logging camp in Uladh forest. The Barker Imp will tell you of an interesting dream it had, and offer you the chance to experience her dream… for a small price, of course. Complete the Barker Imp’s errand and she will use her less-than-subtle magics to put you to sleep, where you will enter her dream world.




Once immersed in the Barker Imp’s dreary dream world you will find that you have mysteriously taken the form of an imp! Make your way to a clearing where you will find  dozens of gremlins and beastly-looking ogres. Nothing a savvy adventurer like yourself can’t handle, right? Wrong! You’ll soon find that your strength and abilities have been reduced to that of an imp. How are you supposed to defeat ogres if you have all the stopping power of a tissue? Never fear! Slay those pesky gremlins for magic mushrooms, which, when eaten, will increase your size more than ten-fold, dwarfing even the monstrous ogres wandering the dreamscape! You can now use your gargantuan size to teach a thing or two to those mean ol’ ogres. Sadly, there can only be one super imp, so you have to fight for a magic mushroom when you see it! Compete against other players to become the best ogre-smashing imp of all the dream…land.

Once you’re satisfied with the amount of stars you’ve recieved, visit the Sassy Imp in the Dream World to collect your fabulous prizes! Among the rewards are Fashionable Goggles and 300 potions!

First they had an event for the drawing/photoshop artists. Now they have an event focusing on the directors of the game. Here is an event for those of you who like to put together films.  ^^  Wonder which store/shop in the game will be getting the most advertisement from this event…..Can’t wait to see what people come up with! 

 ~♥ Violetta

Mabinogi Commericals: and now a word from our sponsors!
Ever wonder what commercials would sound like in the world of Mabinogi? What exactly is Osla’s marketing plan? Does age come with experience in with Glenis being the Dunbarton town grocer? How in the name of Morrighan is Ferghus still in business? Every business needs to advertise, and we want you Mabinogians to flex your creative muscle and show us some videos featuring the various shops of the Mabinogi vendors. Pitch their wares to us! Why should we buy from Atrata? Does the quality in Zeder’s goods make up for his attitude? Be creative, and have fun!

Entries should be between fifteen seconds to one minute long. This event will run from May 21st to June 4th.

Ten of our favorites will be favorited and combined into a playlist over on our very own Mabinogi channel at YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/mabinogi)! While you’re at it, subscribe to our channel and become friends! More events and Mabinogi videos will be released into our YouTube channel, so make sure to keep yourself up to date!

In addition to being featured in the Mabinogi YouTube Channel, commercial winners will also receive all three of the new pets just released today! That’s a Clover Pig, a Clover Gnu, and an Afghan Hound, all included for winners.

To participate, please post your entries in THIS forum thread.

Here’s another event for those fishermen/fisherwomen out there in mab ^^!  This time we get to fish for some rare robes. :D Good luck to everyone!

 ~♥ Violetta

 

Robe Fishing
There’s something fishy in the waters of Erinn!Sea Bream Robe

*Note: Only Humans and Elves can equip this Robe

Don’t Forget to get the “Fishing Contest Bait Tin” to catch these rare robes!
 

Talk to Malcolm, Galvin, Lorraine, Elain, Seanan, Petra, or Zeder to buy special bait which will attract the rare Shark Robe and Sea Bream Robe. These fishy robes are rarely seen in the wild but with the secret ingredient we have added to the bait you may be lucky enough to catch one of these marvelous robes. This event will take place from 5/21/09 to 6/04/09!

Shark Robe

*Note: Only Humans and Elves can equip this Robe

Robe fishing season is officially open!

Another event for those of us that wanna do something outside mab.  In this case it’s focusing on people who like to play with programs like photoshop.  ^^ Let’s get our creative minds working and see how much we can impress the people of Nexon.
~♥ Violetta

Photoshop Ferghus
Ferghus, the friendly and gentle blacksmith of Tir Chonaill is under constant scorn from adventuerers of all types. Despite all his good intentions and charm, his hand is shakier than the bough of a tree during a windstorm and yet he still manages to keep his smithing business afloat. Well, Mabinogians, it’s time for you to exact your righteous vengeance against Ferghus and his clumsy butter fingers. Your job is to turn Ferghus’s portrait below into a goofy interpretation of your frustrations. Be creative! Be unique! Most importantly, have fun! Post your entries in this thread.We will choose 30 of our favorite “jobs” and reward those users with 5 Soldier Gachapon!

ALL types of image-altering software are acceptable for this contest.

Looks like I beat Vi to this update. Or maybe we’re just really slow. It’s pretty self explanatory what’s going on here. Nexon did a fine job of describing it on their website. I just copied and pasted the image below.

Looks like we finally might see more Japanese swords on the server. But don’t get your hopes up, gachapons are generally a scam. You MAY get something good, but chances are you’ll get junk. Also, the gachapons cost you an arm and a leg each. I guess it’s really more like lottery… very expensive lottery.
