I was going to, but then, while browsing over the character cards, I noticed... the premiums are gone. Everything appears to have been replaced with "Destiny" cards, and their descriptions seem to claim that characters rolled from them cannot be reborn.....

Did Mabinogi renovate/eliminate the rebirth and level reset systems..? I don't think I can play if I am not going to be able to rebirth one a week. :P

Premium cards have been made redundant by the beauty shop. Buy 100 pons for 9k NX to buy the premium looks. Basic is still there for 1 week rebirths.

Could you please explain why this is? I never really found a need or desire to rebirth until I was about level 25 and aged way above the maximum starter ages. doing it earlier just felt kind of like I was missing out on time when I would have been a lot more capable of fighting. That's how I played for a while anyway, using the initial few weeks after rebirth for learning as many skills as possible, and the later weeks to do grindy things to get money to pay for training in the next rebirth.

Also because I'm a cheapskate and wouldn't pay even if I wanted to.

I'm not 100% sure but the destiny cards you're speaking of are simply there for people wanting to start a new character with a head start, with equipment and skills already ranked up a bit. The basic card is used for rebirthing and making new characters the old way. If you want to make your character fancy, create the character, then when you're in-game at the bottom of the screen next to the homestead button is a 'beauty shop' button which will let you buy decorative item slots and actual character customization.

You may also rebirth for free when your character reaches age 20, so if your character is age 10 it will take 10 weeks before you can rebirth for free, may as well just rebirth at age 17 if you want to do it often for free.

I'm looking on the wiki and it keeps mentioning premium cards, so somebody probably needs to update that.

Rebirthing as quickly as possible means that you can get skills more quickly, since it's easier to level, and therefore get AP, when your current level is low. At least, I think that's why it's a big deal...

That is precisely right.

And you can only rebirth once a week when your cumulative level is below 100. (Maybe it was 200.) After that it's once every three weeks.

EDIT:
Welp, I'm in the Steam chat now, looking for a friendly face. Anyone out there?

Sorry, you got on a bit late. Try to get on a bit earlier, I'll hang around in the chat later then usual. Failing that you can just start adding people in the OP, and try to catch people that are on to ask questions of. That really is about the only time I'm presuming where there's just nobody on. Also username?

EDIT2: Alternately you can just ask in the thread, it's fine.  :P

Also moving a new update to the next post.

So, a lot of people know about Solea, and while less, a lot of people also know there are hidden herbs and ore piles down there. FEWER people know that mythril ore piles are down there, and fewer still know to what extent the herbs down there are.

Me and Skyrunner(Nocneah) went down there as they're interested in herbalism and have terrible latency to the point where fighting is kind've an impossibility. With all the ant lions and bats down there I figured it was a good chance to prof my mace. She did the exploring, I got mauled by ant lions. As far as ore, ore does seem slightly more common in the first cave, maybe an even amount. In the second cave, ore is FAR MORE PLENTIFUL then herbs, so if you're going down there to mine, go into the cave closer to Physis. Some of the herbs we found were Mandrake (Only in the second cave), and three types of the basic herbs (Base Bloody Mana, yep, there are hidden base patches but they seem to be quite rare). We also found antidote herbs. No sight of the elusive white herb, or antidote herbs, but they may well be down there. By far, most of the herbs were basic types, so it's a good place to get started.

So yeah, minor update to get back in the swing of things, a geographical Survey of solea. You'll need a buddy to fend off the ant lions while you mine, but it seems like it could be very very profitable, especially with the advent of the soon to come mining revamp (50 ore per stack, 7 ore per pile), on top of providing an easy source of basic herbs and mythril.

If no character on your account (even deleted ones apparently?) has ever had a cumulative level of 100 or higher, you can actually rebirth once every 24 hours for free.

Some of the info on this link is outdated, but the basic idea (get your three free characters to 98/98 quickly with the daily rebirths the first few days) seemed sound to me for an early boost to AP before you need to wait 3 weeks between (free) rebirths: http://mabination.com/threads/33503-How-to-begin-mabinogi-the-right-way.-A-basic-understanding-of-the-game

Either things have changed, or there's some kind of hitch to the 'free' part; I'm something like 28/9, 11 years old and elven, but it still prompts for a card regardless of the options I pick.

Well. I suppose I could be doing something totally wrong too.

Decided to give it another shot the game sounds too good to pass up till i at least try it.
Maybe i manage to somehow connect from EU without having over 500 latency.

Meh... stupid company closing EU servers.

The game sounds like WoW meets Ultima online with less elitist homosexuals who will shout at you because you're doing something the FAQ they read didn't cover or you're 100 Gearscore too low to get into their heroic dungeon party.

I actually lied slightly, I think you have to be 21 (Like ozythesage said actually, now that I notice), which just happens to be 3 weeks from 17. So you'll be waiting a while longer unfortunately.

I know assistant cards can rebirth fine though, both my giant and elf do it fine, so don't worry about that.

But if it has a minimum of 21 years, and you have to wait a week to rebirth, and the maximum rebirth age is 17... is the assumption of the 24-hour rebirth for low characters that it requires you to use character cards? =P

It wouldn't let me do it if I tried choosing rebirth from the character select screen - I had to use the button that's on the character screen in-game.
