Defense is also solid, if you're using a shield.  Coupling defense with charge can mitigate archer lethality quite a bit.

Yeah, defense with a shield does block arrows and prevent flinching. It's a good way to block a one off attack that managed to go off, because you were busy with something else, or if there's only one archer in the room and you don't have charge for whatever reason. (Or it's in cooldown)

Note the hot pink men's armor. Why can't they all be like the first one? WHY EDERN WHYYYY

e: On a side note, in the closing ad thing that appears when you shut the game down, there's a Call to Arms in Arad thing that gives you NX if you start playing Dungeon Fighter (with some conditions that I forgot).

And here I was, playing Dungeon Fighter before Mabinogi! Getting my character up to level 50 and everything! If only it had been in the opposite order...

Juni rebirthed into the Bard Destiny today, and as it stands right now she would be very useful as a support unit if you guys decide to take her along in dungeons and such. Just keep in mind that she can't always keep up due to lag issues that prevent her from being fully useful in larger groups.

Also, for the time being her life skills of choice are Herbalism, Potion-Making and Metallurgy, which I should probably have her work on a bit more than she is right now. She often ends up with a lot of Sunlight Herbs and Bloody Herbs so you might be able to call on her for potions that restore stamina or health on occasion. Finally, a special thanks to Ibid for buying that ten centimeter garnet from Juni. It's very helpful to have someone buy her loot every now and then.

I'm going to bed now. I'll be entertaining a friend tomorrow so there is no guarantee Juni will be of any use to anyone for most of tomorrow afternoon. It's just as well, she and I could use a break every now and then, especially with how I end up getting so exhausted dealing with my personal issues. Have fun and stuff.

Through much bribing of one Nele in the form of candlesticks, aided by Ibid, I had acquired Composing Rank A, and soon will become 9 after I find 2 AP. After that, I'm going to go to Karu for the Innocence of the Lute, and do the exploration quest for Musical Knowledge rank 7. Currently, I give a 14% buff on Battlefield Overture.

Also, Potionmaking has become D, and Herbalism B, so that's slowly going on its way towards a higher level. The only problem would be the AP. Herbalism and Composing both need 5 AP a rank Dx

Anyhow, it's going pretty good, but there's not enough time ...

5 AP to rank up is childsplay.  I sunk 40 AP into Crash Shot r5 yesterday.  Next rank is 50 AP.

Despite my love of life skills, I'm going to devote some time into raising my attack power, namely Bow Mastery and Ranged Attack, but also some Magnum Shot in there as well.  With such high ranked Crash Shot - specifically on a milestone rank, where fragments do 200% attack, which is the same as a regular attack because elves shoot twice, and a cooldown reduction - I should be working to min-max my crash shot so that I can clear rooms and do rafting more easily.  Once I can get myself to taking down hobgoblins without the aid of ranger destiny, then we'll be able to farm exploration levels like mad.

The images in this update were hosted on imagur which goes down often, so if the images aren't showing up, just check back later. - The mgmt

So, Myself, Bijuni(Dei on forums), Seikyu(alexwazer on forums), and Direzie(SirAaronIII on forums), dove into peaca today to see if it's just as bad as it looked. We made it precisely as far as Seikyu thought we would.



Cloakers! You need melee to do any damage to them, magic does 1, ranged does 1. With my normally 900 or so damage smashes this couldn't be an issue, riiiighhhtttt?

Nope. We died in that room.

That is the extent of our magical journey into Peaca. DON'T GO INTO PEACA WITHOUT 8 PEOPLE OR FOUR REALLY DECKED OUT PEOPLE. DON'T DO IT. IT'S NOT WORTH IT. THIS WAS PEACA BASIC, WHICH IS THE EASIEST PEACA. AND WE DIED IN THE FIRST ROOM. IT WAS AN EVEN MATCH IN NUMBERS (because bijuni was outside the room buffing us) AND WE STILL LOST. DEFENDING A LIGHTNING BOLT TOOK LIKE 5/6ths OF MY HP.

GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN

We found it this morning in our Wheaties.

Or Math Advanced. One of the two.

Yeah I normally do 900 damage on enemies WITHOUT obscene measures of def and prot.

But yeah it was lowered to about high 300 low 400. :P

Hehe, welcome to the HFS of mabi. I recall telling some of you before in game how far we'd make it too. But, best way to find out what a dungeon is like is to dive in, and that is exactly what you guys did. Did a run (well not a full run for me) of Peaca Normal with my old guild back on tarlach ages ago. I quit after about 4 rooms where I had spent 99% of that time dead and waiting for the res after they finished cleaning up each room. It required a serious amount of teamwork to clear a room, 2+ guildies to each mob pretty much, and everyone had to be ready to drop what they were doin to interupt any mobs that were going to use an avanced magic spell. Just the 4 rooms I saw were crazy, and my guildmates at the time ranged from low 1000's to almost 2500 I think was the highest one. The 2500ish one could OHKO the ogre warriors in barri, and even he struggled with the peaca mobs.

Side note, the mabinogi world wiki is down, and while the mabinoger wiki is still up, I'd prefer to use mabinogi world wiki on it, as mabinoger is using a different, earlier version of mabi, and who can say what that particular version of mabi has done to the monsters or monster spawns in dungeons. If it takes like a month to get it back up, I might start them with mabinoger and just come back later to double check, because I'm PRETTY SURE there's no huge issue. But let's wait and see first.

Note: If anyone does Karu and finds a certain book titled "The Innocence of the Lute", could I have it? :3 It's needed to rank Composition from 9 to 8. Thanks xD

I was smart :3

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you can trade books under any circumstance. If that is the case then you'll have to get that book yourself Skyrunner. If it's not the case in the case of that book then good luck to whoever is going to find it. I won't be able to, as right now I'm nursing a blood sugar spike.
