Ok we are almost done with g12! How do you feel people! G13 is just around the corner! I wonder who will be the first to get that hax sword of elsinore!
Yeah and..oh there’s going to be another CTF event coming tomorrow! Sort of like GB without pets if I am not mistaken. Doing special tasks to help your team will win you exclusive titles…because you need as many as you can get, right?
***A note to all you prospective mentor applicants out there***
I know that we have basically no requirements for these applications, but please don’t bother if you
a) lack basic english skills
b) have little to no knowledge of game mechanics
c) are not willing to work hard to improve yourself
The purpose of our mentor applications are to help (I like to call them “young prodigies” ;] ) aspiring Mabinogi players who might not have been playing for a long time to improve their skills and eventually join the guild as a real member. If you lack any of the three above recommended requirements, please do not apply for a mentor application because I assure you it will be a waste of your time and our time. To date, I have mentored only one success story, my friend Context. I would like to see more people like him apply for mentor and more mentor applicants showing his initiative. Thank you.

G13 will also be implementing a class system and theatre missions, as well as different weapon masteries that give great stat boots in exchange for a trivial amount of AP.
Hey guys! Vex here again. *enters reporter mode* Kyo, please don’t hurt me! ;~; I was voluntold by Vi to be an author! D: *ahem*…
So G12 is finally here! (along with some fails here and there, of course >w>) but I digress… It’s about that time again where we sqeeze our wallets for one of those event premium cards, which are only available for a limited time! …and guess what, guys? There’s ANOTHER Halloween pet! (oh joy! Wait a sec… doesn’t that make FOUR different pets this month?!) What will they think of next to empty our wallets? >w> Ok then, I’ll shut up now. XD Enjoy the update!
What spooky things lurk in the shadows of Erinn? There is a saying that goes, “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” Do exactly that with the limited Magician Character Cards and Little Ghost Pet.
Dress up this Halloween by rebirthing with a Magician Character Card. By rebirthing or creating a character with this Bonus Item Character Card, you can get an outfit that is quite fit for the season! You’ll receive a Star-shaped Magician Outfit and a Large Brim Magician Hat after character creation or rebirth. Although giants are too large to wear the Magician Outfits, they will still receive the clothing upon rebirth or character creation!
Need a companion to scare away enemies on your travels? The Little Ghost pet is perfect for this task! This little guy floats behind you and will guard any location you specify. In an emergency, you can use the Little Ghost’s master Teleport skill, which will instantly transport you to your Little Ghost. This tricky ability will make your enemy think they saw a ghost!
Act quickly, these seasonal items are on limited sale between October 20th and November 2nd.
Hey Guys! Vex here!~ This is my first time posting. Yay!~ …*ahem* Now let’s get down to business. G12 is RIGHT around the corner! We just have to wait (approximately >.>) 8 hours! Let’s just hope Nexon does a good job and releases ON TIME! I’m also working on the brand new G12 Medal for our guild forums! Just throwing that tiny bit of info out there. d-(^w^)-b *thumbs up*

Coming in August, the world of Mabinogi is going through another huge, free update soon. We are introducing Sword of the Gods the latest massive addition to the world of Erinn. As the story of Mabinogi continues its epic course, the worlds of the Humans, Elves, and Giants are being shaken to the core. Erinn is in need of great warriors, and it’s up to you to answer the call!
Here’s a preview of just a small number of the additions to Mabinogi:
- The Next Chapter Begins: Behold the story of Sword of the Gods. A weapon has emerged with the ability to cut down even the gods. What role will this blade play in the unending war?
- The Journal: Introducing the Mabinogi achievement system. Players will be able to record and show off their greatest achievements with the Journal. Show others your specialties and accomplishments!
-New Skills: With the battle reaching a new echelon, Mabinogians will need to be at their best. To this end, we are introducing three new Combat Skills and one new Life Skill.
-Improved Social Functions: In these desperate times, you will need to have your friends on hand at a moment’s notice. Use the renewed Party options and Guild Functions in order to best team up with your allies.
- And more! New Shadow Missions, mini-games, quests, and more will be detailed each day until the launch of this newest update.
As we countdown to Sword of the Gods, we will be providing pictures, videos, and details on our main website, the forums, and Facebook. In addition, we’ll be hosting contests with prizes to help players prepare for what’s to come.
Check back every day for the latest update, and be sure to be ready when the Sword is discovered in August!
Get ready, everyone. What happens next will be an update to be remembered.
The giant toads are coming! So for better toad-sticking, the long-awaited G8 Two Handed Weapon upgrades are coming soon:
When the continent of Iria was discovered, many humans discovered they preferred equipping twin swords as they hacked-and-slashed their way through foes. Not necessarily a bad thing, as wielding two smaller weapons commonly unleashed more damage that a single, giant two-handed weapon. But as dual-wielding weapons became more and more popular, two-handed weapons gradually faded into the background, with the exception of a few dedicated warriors.
But now, as something sinister stirs beneath the surface of Zardine, ready to awaken… As a tired war between dragon toad sects threatens to spill into the everyday lives of Human, Elf, and Giant alike… As adventurers mobilize to protect the lands and people they hold dear… Now, in a world that forebodes troubles of colossal proportions, the legendary instrument of dragon toad-slaying lore—the two-handed weapon—reemerges as mighty once again.
Swords, axes, and maces have all undergone specific improvements in relation to the Smash and Critical Hit skills. To top it all off, two-handed weapons now have access to new, exclusive enchants: Untamed, Barbarian, and Destruction!
So get out there are proof those giant toad-stickers!

Thunderbirds are gone, so they have to replace it with the functional equivalent. Hope you guys got your thunderbirds while you could, although the eagle looks nifty even if you didn’t. Although I did buy a thunderbird, it’s not as cool as I hoped. Still waiting for a broomstick and black unicorns.

9. Ancient Secrets of Irinid Main Storyline Strategy Guide
Want to get started on the Main Storyline for the Ancient Secrets of Irinid? Stuck and need a few hints in the right direction? Not to worry! Our voluminous Strategy Guide section can show you every step of the way!
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.
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.
