More rafting and dungeoning

...as a newbie in JP land.

I happened to find someone rafting, and he invited me to join. Me? What? But I don't know Japanese and I am a nuble. Awesome.

Then he teleported us into Karu and ran a normal dungeon. Woo! An archer, a royal alchemist, and another nuble.

Oh, and correction to my last post: lance, not joust. And there is no farm yet.

No jpg here, but JP Mabi is at G14! That means Romeo and Juliet, joust skills, farms, and all that jazz.

I made some 120x120 avatars of Mercutio, an angry Romeo, and a mad Paris. It's not perfect, but hey.

Y u pritty

Kuro is too pretty.

 

Traffic cones are meant for traffic, not what you're about to do.

Oh dear.

And an unrelated note, yesterday was Valentine's Day and had a Double Rainbow event. Double rainbow all the way. The problem was that the servers were slow and crashed repeatedly. And today, all the servers are down. Doomed.

Party healing is nice, too.

Oh deer, I am in someone's youtube video. See my job making red bars move left and right in that upper-left hand corner.

Speaking of deer, crystal deers are out. They are amazing and even though they cost $15 I might get one.

Poison is nice.

Yes indeedy.

Bloganogi

There's a JP blog that I'm following, although it only updates once in a blue moon. Copy and paste the link: mabinogi.tillust.com

She has some really interesting illustrations. I'll have to translate some one of these days...

I'm also following xlightsoutx on blogspot, although the blog mainly revolves on sketches and Mabinogi as a side topic. I like the illustrations at least.

There Be Dragons

Mabi JP has a Desert Dragon event happening. Finally I see a crowd besides the marketplace.

It's funny how every time the desert dragon starts to fly upwards, everyone else would summon their dragon pets (BOOM BOOM BOOM) and fly with the desert dragon as well.

It took all night but finally the desert dragon was slain.

I obtained 40k gold! Now I have enough to start a farm and make more money...

Desert Penguin

Oh little penguin

Why are you in the desert?

Sand surfing and elves.

At least there weren't any Longa Cats in Longa...

Recently, players were crashing the NA servers just to duplicate items and to upset everyone. And so I find myself back in the JP server...

...and made a new character on the Cichol server. This new character looks exactly like the character I made on Mari.

I'm actually thinking about developing this character instead of neglecting him, so off I go to do the newbie quests. One of the quests required me to complete Longa Dungeon. It seemed easy enough with all my other characters, so it shouldn't be too bad, right?

Wow, this dungeon is tough for a level 12 elf.

I had to revive twice, but the third time's the charm.

And now for something completely different:

Whee, fashionogi.

Mabinogi FMA and Guild Running

Around two months ago, JP Mabi had character cards that turned people into Full Metal Alchemist characters. I had to check it out for myself.

So I start off by visiting Dunbarton.

I met a guild leader, well, I saw his videos and decided to stalk him. Cough, cough. Amazingly enough, they let me tag along with them.

Now I have all these chat drawings saved just from that one day.

Thanks for the great time, guild!

Alts, Subs, and Mules

Sometimes it feels like there's just enough inventory space to carry items. Other times, I want to have a completely different look. However, both of these need money... or another account where both are free.

A new account in Mabinogi allows the first character to have premium looks for free. And of course, a new character has nothing, so inventory space is widely available.

The only problem is that a newbie is weak. I start missing my level +1000 main character really quick.

Still, I really like how my alt characters look.

Teph the elf from JP Mari

Em from NA Ruairi

A buddy's marriage.

Yesterday, I attended a friend's wedding. They planned it to be at the elven wedding place, but at least one has to be an elf in order to hold a wedding there.

Well, back to Emain...

... ... !!!

I like how the priest is just looking down while still smiling.

Mabi JP Pet Event

Yesterday, JP Mabinogi introduced a pet dungeoning event. Prizes include mouse hats, rabbit ears, and rabbit suits. So what exactly is the event?

In order to do the event, a player must log onto a pet character and talk to the devCat mascot in Tir Chonaill. He will give a Ciar dungeon pass to complete, and the end reward is a chance to get an event item.

Well, here goes nothing...

It was just Ciar Beginner.... 

Then I met another cat and ran it again.

My dungeoning partner was really nice and gave me her prize.

...it looks quite terrible, to be honest. But I did meet another person and even ran a dungeon together, which was quite fun.
